Checking recognition support…

Scores are saved only on this device. Audio is not stored.

Recognition may use the browser provider's servers and require internet. We use the default microphone.

This is agreement with recognized text. Missing words can be recognition errors; the score does not assess individual speech sounds.

How is the score calculated?

Exact words get full credit; similar words get partial credit. Missing, replaced and extra words lower the score. Excellent requires all words in the right order. The 60/80% thresholds are experimental.

A person waits for at least the required time.

Replacing 'at least' with 'approximately' removes a guaranteed lower bound and introduces an estimate, even though both expressions can accompany the same number.

Zamiana „co najmniej” na „około” usuwa gwarantowaną dolną granicę i wprowadza przybliżenie, choć oba wyrażenia mogą towarzyszyć tej samej liczbie.

When you say 'for now, at least we know where to start', you acknowledge one step forward without yet claiming that the whole matter is under control.

Changing 'not all proposals were rejected' to 'all proposals were not rejected' may make the scope of negation unclear; it is better to state explicitly that at least one was not rejected.

Zamiana „nie wszystkie propozycje odrzucono” na „wszystkich propozycji nie odrzucono” może wprowadzić niejasność zakresu przeczenia; lepiej wprost napisać, że przynajmniej jednej nie odrzucono.
