# Speak Game Guide: Rehearse Out Loud

Use Speak to recite your passage, clean up the transcript, and see color-coded misses so you can polish phrasing and pacing.

Game Guide4 min

Speak is the **final rehearsal** inside Memorize By Heart. You speak your passage aloud, watch the transcript appear, clean up any speech-to-text quirks, and then see exactly which words you nailed or missed. Use it to turn memorized text into confident delivery.

## Quick start (2 minutes)

1.  Open your Memorization and choose **Speak**.
2.  Tap the red mic to start listening. Recite a short section (1–3 sentences) at a steady pace.
3.  Watch the transcript fill the text area. Fix any obvious misheard words before you tap **Results**.
4.  Review the accuracy score and color-coded comparison. Tap **Recite again** to rerun the same section or **Back** to pick another chunk.

## How Speak listens and scores

-   **Difficulty hints:** Easy shows the first letter of every word, Medium alternates first letters with blanks, and Hard removes hint text for full recall.
-   **Live transcription:** Speak uses your Memorization’s language (or your default) to capture what you say. You can type directly in the box to correct the transcript before scoring.
-   **Color-coded review:** In the comparison view, missing or different words show in red with an underline; extra words you added show in green. Perfect lines stay neutral.
-   **Chunk-aware scoring:** Accuracy is calculated per word against the selected chunk. The more of the chunk you cover, the more your overall progress moves.
-   **Reusable pass:** From the results screen, tap **Recite again** to immediately re-run the same text without reloading the game.
-   **Best in Chrome:** If you see a support warning, switch to the latest Chrome—other browsers may block speech recognition.

## A repeatable Speak routine

1.  **Warm up tiny:** Choose one paragraph. Hit record and speak it slowly, pausing briefly at commas. Stop, scan the transcript, and fix any obvious speech-to-text slips.
2.  **Score and spot gaps:** Tap **Results**. Note any red underlines (missed words) and green inserts (fillers you added). Go back and reread that sentence on-screen once.
3.  **Pace to performance:** Recite the same paragraph again at your target tempo. Aim for 95%+ accuracy with no green filler words.
4.  **Chain forward:** Add the next paragraph and repeat. When two adjacent paragraphs both score 95%+, run a full-section Speak to confirm continuity.

## Mic habits that boost accuracy

-   **Position quietly:** Hold the phone 6–8 inches from your mouth or keep your laptop mic unobstructed. Avoid rubbing the mic or covering it with your hand.
-   **Enunciate punctuation:** Slightly pause on commas and end-of-sentence rises; Speak picks up those beats and scores word order more cleanly.
-   **Match the language:** If you are practicing a different language, set the Memorization locale first so speech recognition expects the right sounds.
-   **Stay consistent:** Use the same room and volume for repeat passes; background changes can cause unnecessary transcript edits.

## Pair Speak with other games

-   **Proof after typing:** Type it → Speak. Typing locks the wording; Speak confirms you can say it fluidly without looking.
-   **Ear-to-mouth loop:** Listen once at study speed, then Speak the same chunk. If accuracy drops, replay Listen and shadow before another Speak pass.
-   **Order rescue:** Tap to Reveal troublesome sentences, then Speak just that slice until red underlines disappear.

## Troubleshooting

-   **Mic not supported:** If you see a browser warning, switch to Chrome or update your current browser; Speak relies on built-in speech recognition.
-   **Transcript looks off:** Stop recording, manually fix the text, and then hit **Results**. Slowing your pace slightly often reduces bad substitutions.
-   **Accuracy stuck below 90%:** Shorten the chunk, rehearse once with **Listen**, and Speak again. Remove filler words that keep showing up in green.
-   **Noise spikes:** Close other apps using the mic, face a soft surface to reduce echo, and keep steady distance from the microphone.
