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.

Two smiling people wave goodbye at a door.

An imperative in an apostrophe to a river may express a wish to halt its flow rather than expect a feasible action from the addressee; it should not be judged solely by the request's effectiveness.

Rozkaz w apostrofie do rzeki może wyrażać pragnienie wstrzymania jej biegu, a nie oczekiwanie wykonalnego działania adresata; nie należy oceniać go wyłącznie według skuteczności prośby.

When photographing the mural's creation, let us include rejected sketches too, if their authors wish to share them; the final result alone does not show how a joint decision grew out of different proposals.

Gdy fotografujemy powstawanie muralu, pokażmy również odrzucone szkice, o ile ich autorzy chcą je udostępnić; sam finał nie pozwala zobaczyć, jak wspólna decyzja wyrastała z różnych propozycji.

In the letter to future residents, let us distinguish a hope from a promise whose fulfilment is beyond our control; a sincere wish can endure as a record of our aspirations even if the world takes a different path.

W liście do przyszłych mieszkańców oddzielmy nadzieję od obietnicy, na której spełnienie nie mamy wpływu; szczere życzenie może przetrwać jako świadectwo naszych pragnień, nawet jeśli świat wybierze inną drogę.
