Taiwanese EdTech startup VoiceTube Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "VoiceTube"), which boasts over 5.6 million users worldwide, is pleased to introduce how its AI shadowing feature, integrated into the VoiceTube English learning platform, can make English pronunciation guidance more efficient and advanced in schools and educational institutions.

## What is VoiceTube?

VoiceTube is an English learning platform that allows users to learn natural expressions from native speakers using YouTube videos as teaching materials. Through a wide range of genres such as movies, news, business, and daily conversations, learners can effectively acquire "living English" that is difficult to obtain from text-based materials. Used by 5.6 million people worldwide, it has received multiple international awards including "Facebook FbStart App of the Year" and "QS Stars Reimagine Education Awards."

## The Challenge is "Feedback" - VoiceTube Overcomes this Barrier

In English language education at schools, interest in "shadowing" is rapidly growing. Shadowing is a practice method where learners listen to an exemplary audio and then, or immediately after, imitate it aloud. Since it simultaneously trains listening, understanding, and speaking skills, it is highly effective in improving speaking and listening abilities, which are often difficult to develop with traditional reading and writing-centric learning.

Despite knowing its effectiveness, many educators in the field express concerns such as "there isn't enough time to check each student's pronunciation individually" or "students finish without knowing where they made mistakes." VoiceTube's shadowing feature solves this problem with the power of AI.

## AI Pronunciation Analysis Makes Shadowing More Reliable

When students record their voices, AI immediately analyzes their pronunciation and provides detailed feedback at the syllable level. This visualization of where and how to improve allows each student to autonomously progress.

Furthermore, the AI highlight function automatically picks up sentences effective for pronunciation practice, enabling efficient instruction focused on important expressions even within limited class time.

## Echo Method 3 Steps

The practice adopts the "Echo Method," which is based on scientific evidence. The Echo Method involves organizing the exemplary audio in one's mind before speaking, thereby reducing the risk of merely mimicking pronunciation habits and allowing for steady correction while focusing on correct accent and intonation. Its effectiveness has been scientifically proven, making it a noteworthy method for ensuring more reliable improvement through shadowing.

VoiceTube's plans for schools and educational institutions (also available for corporations) include a 2-month free trial. Please feel free to inquire via the special website.
