▸ Advanced — sentences, sound coverage, recordings

A look inside what makes training work. You don't need any of this — Start recording on the main card walks this person through everything automatically. Open the sections below if you want to target a specific sound, review what's been saved, or start over.

These aren't random — they're designed to cover every sound English uses, so SpeechBuddy hears how this person pronounces each one. Start recording works through them in a smart order; you don't have to pick them yourself.

🗣 Which sounds need more practice

Every English word is built from about 40 distinct sounds — like the "th" in "think" or the "sh" in "shoe". This shows which sounds this person has recorded enough of, and which still need more samples. Useful when certain words keep matching wrong — you can target those sounds directly.

🎙 Saved recordings

Every recording this person has made, with playback. Tap one to hear it back — useful for checking whether a sentence was recorded clearly. Delete individual recordings if a take wasn't good, or use the button below to start over completely.

🔒 Caregiver mode lock

Stop the daily user from accidentally turning on Caregiver mode and changing things they didn't mean to. When on, the Caregiver-mode toggle in the header asks for a 4-digit PIN.

Require PIN for Caregiver mode Set a PIN below first, then turn this on.
Set caregiver PIN Pick a 4-digit number you'll remember. The daily user shouldn't know it.

Voice quality Premium uses ElevenLabs for natural, human-sounding speech. Device uses your phone's built-in voice.
Device voice Pick the gender of your phone's built-in voice.
Speak matches automatically When on, the matched phrase plays out loud right away. When off, the phrase appears silently and you tap ▶ to play it.
Speak each chip as you tap it Sentence Builder only. When on, every tile you tap is spoken aloud the moment it's added to the sentence — even before you press Speak at the end. Helpful for users who can't read the sentence bar.
