It\u2019s what we\u2019re proudest of \u2014&nbsp;Scribe itself and the patent it was awarded for its unique technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: Scribe is based on the centuries-old language-learning technique of dictation training. (Want to learn more about dictation training? If it\u2019s good enough for the CIA, it\u2019s good enough for us. Read more about it here.) Dictation training is the key practice in learning how to distinguish the unfamiliar sounds that are part and parcel of understanding a new language (a.k.a. phonemic awareness) and where one word stops and another one starts (a.k.a. lexical segmentation). There\u2019s no better tool for improving your listening comprehension outside of paying a stranger to talk at you for hours and hours, repeating themselves as you require.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Scribe, you\u2019ll choose one of thousands of videos in your target language. Then, you\u2019ll listen to that video \u2014&nbsp;and literally transcribe what you hear. It\u2019s way more than a spelling challenge \u2014&nbsp;your job is to catch all the tiny words, hesitations, the ums and ahs and ughs and bens and bahs (your hesitation words will vary depending on what language you\u2019re learning).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scribe will help you out where it can. You\u2019ll be filling in the blanks, Hangman-style \u2014&nbsp;so you\u2019ll have a rough idea of where the word breaks should fall; you\u2019ll just need to listen closely to pinpoint them. You can also fill in letters as you need them, in case there\u2019s a word here or there that you just can\u2019t hear clearly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can listen to each piece of speech as many times as you need to, slowing it down as you like (look for the helpful button shaped like a turtle). And if you make mistakes, you\u2019ll lose points (this is only a big deal if you\u2019re paying close attention to the leaderboard \u2014&nbsp;which, maybe you are, maybe you aren\u2019t) but retain the ability to keep trying until you get it right, even if it means through whizzing through the alphabet A-Z to see what fits (uh, not that we\u2019ve ever done that.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position: Absolute; left: -9966px;\">Platforma <a href=\u201chttps:\/\/mostbet-casino-graj.pl\u201d>mostbet<\/a> charakteryzuje si\u0119 wysokimi kursami oraz szerokim wyborem zak\u0142ad\u00f3w na \u017cywo, co przyci\u0105ga wielu fan\u00f3w zak\u0142ad\u00f3w sportowych.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"position: Absolute; left: -9966px;\"><p>Canl\u0131 krupiyeli masalar\u0131 sayesinde <a href=\"https:\/\/wprofastpitch.com\/\">pin up<\/a>, klasik kumarhane atmosferini aya\u011f\u0131n\u0131za getiriyor; pin up casino co\u015fkusu ger\u00e7ek\u00e7i bir deneyim sunuyor.<\/p><\/div>\t<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -9966px;\"><p>\ucd5c\uace0\uc758 \ubca0\ud305 \uacbd\ud5d8\uc744 \uc6d0\ud558\uc2dc\uba74 <a href=\"https:\/\/asia-1xbet.com\">1xbet<\/a>\uc744 \uc120\ud0dd\ud558\uc138\uc694.<\/p><\/div>\t<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -9966px;\"><p>Mit <a href=\"https:\/\/immunocapexplorer.com\">vulkan vegas<\/a> erleben Sie die besten Casino-Spiele und mehr.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -9966px;\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.romernashistoria.se\/\">casino utan licens<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Make Scribe the core of your Yabla practice and you\u2019ll get better at your target language faster than you thought possible, and before you step foot into your destination of choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-fill-in-the-blank.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"641\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-fill-in-the-blank.jpg\" alt=\"yabla fill in the blank\" class=\"wp-image-765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-fill-in-the-blank.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-fill-in-the-blank-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-fill-in-the-blank-768x615.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FILL IN THE BLANK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just what it sounds like: This is just what it sounds like. Listen to the video of your choice, then fill in the blank in the sentence you\u2019ve just heard. In its own way, this tricky little game can be harder than Scribe. You\u2019ll be doing a lot less transcribing \u2014 with Fill in the Blank, you only need to transcribe certain words, rather than the entire speech \u2014&nbsp;but unlike Scribe, you don\u2019t know exactly how many letters are in the word you\u2019re solving for, and you don\u2019t fill them in as you do with Scribe, Hangman-style. With Scribe, it\u2019s easy to choose between homophones \u2014&nbsp;like in French, with Scribe you\u2019ll know if you want \u201cc\u2019est\u201d or \u201cses\u201d because you\u2019ll either have three or four blank spaces for letters. With Fill in the Blank, you\u2019re on your own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-multiple-choice.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-multiple-choice.jpg\" alt=\"yabla multiple choice\" class=\"wp-image-766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-multiple-choice.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-multiple-choice-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-multiple-choice-768x523.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MULTIPLE CHOICE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple choice is especially useful as you\u2019re moving between ability levels&nbsp;\u2014 say, from intermediate to advanced. It will provide the transcript of a given video, and you\u2019ll be asked to choose the missing word from an array of possibilities. It\u2019s easier than Fill in the Blank, because you\u2019re selecting the word rather than coming up with it on your own, but it\u2019s a great way to learn unfamiliar words that you haven\u2019t encountered before. You have the option here, too, to slow down the video if that helps you understand better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review-1440x869.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-vocabulary-review.jpg 1488w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VOCABULARY REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocabulary review is an excellent companion to Scribe: You\u2019ll listen to a video, and then quiz yourself on the definitions of the words you\u2019ve just heard. With Scribe, you can get into the habit of transcribing words with unfamiliar meanings without truly understanding them, as long as you can hear them well enough to type them out. This is especially a problem with false cognates \u2014&nbsp;words that look familiar to English speakers but fail to live up to expectations. (For example: the French word \u201cactuellement,\u201d which means \u201ccurrently,\u201d rather than \u201cactually\u201d \u2014&nbsp;for \u201cactually,\u201d you\u2019d want something more like \u201cen fait\u201d). With Vocabulary Review, you\u2019ll avoid these tricky mistakes, while constantly expanding your vocabulary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-dictionary.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-dictionary.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-dictionary.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.yabla.com\/yabla-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/yabla-dictionary-282x300.jpg 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DICTIONARY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yabla offers a powerful dictionary feature \u2014&nbsp;no need to dip out to go check a word on Google Translate.
