Press and hold the 

 button. 

 

Say the newly learned phrase into the microphone. Position your mouth near 
the built-in microphone at a distance of 3 

– 6 inches (8 – 15 cm). 

The phrase you have said in the foreign language will be compared to the model 
pronunciation. If you have pronounced the phrase correctly, the device will 
recognize it and then show or pronounce its translation in your native language. If 
the device does not recognize you 

– simply repeat the above steps. 

The accuracy of speech recognition depends on the level of external noise. It is 
best to ensure silence in the room where you practice your pronunciation. 

To achieve the best results, please consider the following. 

1. Ensure the room is relatively quiet. 

2. Choose an optimum distance of 3 

– 6 inches (8 – 15 cm) from the built-in 

microphone, taking your normal speaking volume into consideration. 

3. Do not say unrelated words or phrases into the microphone. 

4. Try to say phrases distinctly and plainly without clipping syllables. 

5. Avoid carelessness in pronunciation (smacking of lips, loudly inhaling or 
exhaling, mumbling, interruptions, repetitions, etc.).
