"I like the programs and think my students
will get a lot out of them - they're structured nicely and very user-friendly.
Some students use them 2-3 hours straight or longer." Jack Chen

English Language Institute, University of Delaware
"Pronunciation Power is the only
pronunciation software in our Macintosh based language labs at this time. The
interface is intuitive enough to follow without reference to any manual or
other instructions; a prerequisite for programs in our labs. Simple access to
playing native models, recording student production, and comparing the two make
this program an effective tool for learning instead of an obstacle, as more
complicated programs sometimes prove to be. The variety of minimal pair
discrimination exercises for all 52 phonemes presented provides plenty of
instruction, practice, and reinforcement for students looking to improve their
listening comprehension and pronunciation." John de Szendeffy

design team; Pronunciation Power is an excellent teaching tool. It is also the
program of choice by most of our students in our English Language Institute
because of its ease of use, logical sequencing, variety and overall capacity of
the program. We look forward to receiving your future products and ongoing
updates." William B. Stewart

wonderfully exciting experience to learn on one's own." Kathryn Chiu

"Pronunciation Power has built in steps to
developing fluency, beginning with listening exercises which concentrate on
receptive skills and building up to recording pronunciation exercises. Students
can hear the sound replayed as often as necessary, and record their voices for
comparison. A visual representation of the sound aids pronunciation. A variety
of activities reinforce the target sounds. Instructors can listen to the
recordings and provide feedback. Higher level students can cope well with the
written descriptions of sounds. The sound analysis feature is unique and could
benefit students at all points on the CLB spectrum. Rating: Excellent." National ESL Software

"Pronunciation Power is an excellent tool for
students to learn the correct pronunciation of sounds as they are used in the
English language. My students are extremely pleased with its easy to use and
effective design. This software stands out as the best in its class and nothing
compares in its price range. It is affordable, comprehensive and gives hours
upon hours of solid practice. this products stands alone with its numerous
lessons, exercises and visual feedback. the speech analysis lets learners see
where they're going wrong, even if they can't hear it. Pronunciation Power is
an outstanding piece of educational software, I'd recommend it for any second
language learner." Michael J. Galli
