Both display modes appear simultaneously by default, but you may choose to display only the waveform or only

the pitch curve. For further information about this option, refer to the Options: Audio, Video and Speech

You can see your recording represented by the waveform and pitch curve, and compare them with the originals.

These graphic representations allow you to work on your pronunciation and intonation more efficiently.

evaluates your pronunciation on a scale of 1 to 7 (7 being the highest score), according to the

difference between your pronunciation and that of the model. The score given to your recordings by TeLL me
