Head Copy Machine

This trainer uses speech recognition to determine if you copied the character correctly. Press the button below to activate the microphone and then select a browser setting to authorise microphone use (if requested). The mic will then turn off again until required:

Choose the language you will be speaking in (including e.g. UK or USA):

Please note that the speech recognition system may send the audio from your microphone to e.g. Google, Apple or Microsoft's servers for processing.

The recognition does not work in all browsers. It may work in Chrome, Safari and Edge. In Chrome on mobile phones, the mic gets turned off frequently by the phone and this page will turn it on again (if you've pressed the button): unfortunately this results in a lot of bleeping.

You will be tested on the "Characters to practise". When you are doing well on those, the first in the "Next characters to learn" list will be added to the practice set. You can edit these lists yourself and/or set up the "Next characters to learn" using the character learning order from CW Academy, Koch, LCWO or LICW.

N.B. saying e.g. "Letter A" or "alpha" (or indeed "alligator") works better than just saying "A".
