Talk is Golden by KanTalk.com

It used to be quite tedious to record your self-introduction at Kantalk. You need to download a piece of software and install it first, run it to record, save the audio file to a local folder, and then upload it to your Profile. For anyone who’s less nerdy than Bill Gates, it’s a daunting task. Some of you must have given up somewhere along the way.

Now, it is a piece of cake. Since we released the Recording tool two weeks ago, it only takes a few button-clicking to record your voice at Kantalk. Many of you have done it already with “Please call Stella”. It’s easy and fun. So we made the same tool available to record you self-introduction. We also added the “Delete” function; in case you don’t like what you hear—either self-intro or “Please call Stella”, simply delete it.

So, please introduce yourself, with the clicking of two buttons: Record and Stop. Done

In our latest release (Beta now), we added a cool feature that allows you to record a text and play it at the site. It’s easy to use; no need to download or install anything. Just click a few buttons, and you will be listening to your voice in no time.

How can this feature help your language learning? Well, in many ways. But to start with, to evaluate your accent and pronunciation. Many of our users are quite conscious of their accent and want to improve it. How good or bad is yours? Want to get some feedback from others?

At Record page, you can record a short paragraph, developed by a linguistic professor to study accent. It consists of common words, but contains all English sounds. Read it out loud and record it. Other users then can play your recording and rate it, or offer you feedback. It’s fun. Later on, we’ll add more space so that you can record any text you choose.

As always, feel free to let us know how you want us to improve Kantalk further.
