Improve your English listening by typing what you hear.
Find out what your ears are missing.
Listen to useful everyday English, type exactly what you hear, and get feedback that separates spelling from real listening mistakes. As you practise, HearWrite learns which spoken-English patterns keep catching you out.
HearWrite separates a listening miss from a simple typing or spelling difference.
Your recurring pattern: weak forms
You often hear the important words but lose short unstressed words such as to, for, can and have.
Weak forms · 51% recent accuracyPractise. Diagnose. Train the right thing.
HearWrite is built around one problem: learners who know English on paper but lose words when real people speak.
Listen and type
No transcript first. You have to process the English by ear, just like a conversation, meeting or phone call.
Understand the mistake
See the correct sentence, the listening focus and whether the problem looked like hearing, spelling or typing.
Train your pattern
With enough evidence, HearWrite identifies recurring weaknesses and builds targeted practice around them.
What HearWrite watches for
Not every listening mistake is the same. HearWrite groups attempts around real spoken-English mechanics.
Weak forms
Quiet words such as to, for, can, have and of.
Connected speech
When word boundaries blur because sounds link together.
Reductions & contractions
Compressed everyday forms such as gonna, would’ve and couldn’t.
Final sounds
Quiet endings that carry tense, plurality or meaning.
Stress & rhythm
How English pushes attention toward stressed words and away from smaller ones.
Numbers & details
Exact dates, prices, times and quantities that are easy to lose.
Free practice stays genuinely useful.

Your Listening Profile gets better as you practise.
HearWrite does not pretend to diagnose you from one sentence. It waits for repeated evidence, then shows the pattern and the next useful action.
Frequently asked questions
Is HearWriteEnglish free?
Yes. The full practice library, Listening Check and basic review tools are free. Pro adds personalized diagnosis, targeted sessions, reports and cloud sync.
Is HearWrite a formal English-level test?
No. The Listening Check is a short diagnostic for listening patterns, not an official CEFR exam or certificate. Longer-term dashboard insights become more useful as you complete more exercises.
Why type what I hear?
Typing forces you to notice exactly which words arrived in your ears and which did not. It makes vague “I didn’t understand” moments measurable.
What makes Pro different from a normal mistake notebook?
Pro does not only save missed sentences. It aggregates repeated attempts into pattern-level insights, first-listen performance, replay dependence and a recommended next session.
