Your students can get feedback every time they speak

 Voice Recorder

But which one? I’ve got two apps installed with the same name and nearly identical icons. I’ve now discovered that it was installed from the start as it, like my mobile, is from Samsung.

I wanted to record myself giving a talk at a conference and I know that with my free accounts at Turboscribe.ai and Rev.com the limit is 30 minutes, so I tried rehearsing my talk using this ‘Voice Recorder’. It recorded my rehearsal successfully and when asked produced a transcript of a kind, but with nothing like the accuracy of the two other apps mentioned above.

I uploaded the combined voice and text file to ChatGPT and said, “Can you make a better transcription?”

I then listened to the resulting version, which was much better, although it still included one or two points that were not exactly the same as what I had said. I asked ChatGPT to correct these mistakes.

I then made a screen recording on my Android phone of it being read aloud by ‘Vale’

The second things I did was to upload the same voice and text file to NotebookLM. It produced a very flattering account of what I had said rehearsing for my talk at the #APACELT25 conference. It was fairly accurate in its discussion of my ideas and added some additional ideas of its own. 

This is a summary it:

AI-Powered Speech Feedback for Language Learners

1 source

This presentation outlines a workshop using Turboscribe.ai for speech-to-text transcription and ChatGPT for language analysis to provide students with instant feedback on their spoken English. The process involves recording a story, transcribing it using Turboscribe, identifying and correcting errors, and then using a five-step ChatGPT prompt to generate improved transcripts at different language levels. A sample student recording and its analysis are demonstrated, showcasing how the tools enhance language learning. Finally, the presenter shares resources and methods for incorporating these technologies into language teaching.

It is about fifteen minutes long and I have downloaded the audio file and uploaded it to Turboscribe.ai as it transcribes all the 'like' and 'you know' fillers. 

Here is the whole podcast with a transcript on Turboscribe.ai :

I had planned to record myself giving the talk live at APAC 2025, but for one reason or another I simply forgot to clip on the wireless microphone connected to my mobile. I’ll be giving an improved version of this talk at TESOL Spain in Burgos and, I hope improved again, at IATEFL in Edinburgh. Maybe I’ll get around to recording it live!
