Frequently asked questions

Why can't I see the text before I type it?

That is the point of dictation practice. Seeing the text first would only test copying, not listening comprehension and spelling.

What do the red letters mean?

A letter turns red the moment it does not match the original sentence at that position, so you can see mistakes immediately instead of only at the end.

What is the vocabulary score?

Each sentence has one or two target words chosen for that CEFR level. The vocabulary score shows whether you typed those specific words correctly, separately from your overall typing accuracy.

Will HearWriteEnglish remember where I stopped?

Yes. Your completed-sentence progress is saved locally in this browser for each CEFR level, so you can continue later without creating an account. You can restart any level whenever you want.
