See it. Say it. Score it.

Three steps turn anything you read online into speaking practice.

Step 1

Highlight

Select any sentence on any webpage — a news article, a blog post, an email draft, or a YouTube subtitle.

Step 2

Speak

Click the TalkDrill mic and read the sentence aloud. Use Listen First to hear native pronunciation before you try.

Step 3

Score

Get an instant clarity score with word-by-word feedback — green for clear, yellow for unclear, red for not recognized.

Everything you need to speak clearly

Built for learners who read English all day but want to speak it with confidence.

Pronunciation Scoring

See exactly which words came out clearly and which didn’t, with an overall clarity score for every sentence you practice.

YouTube Shadowing

Practice line-by-line with any subtitled video. The video pauses after each subtitle, you repeat it aloud, and you get scored before the next line plays.

Listen First

Hear native pronunciation of any sentence before you attempt it, then compare your own recording against it.

Word-by-Word Feedback

Every score card shows your sentence word by word. Tap any word to hear the correct pronunciation and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the TalkDrill Chrome extension free?

Yes. You get 5 free pronunciation checks per day when you start — no account needed. Sign in free for 10 daily checks, progress tracking, and the full TalkDrill practice dashboard at talkdrill.com.

How does pronunciation scoring work?

Highlight any sentence, read it aloud into your microphone, and our AI compares your speech against the reference text. You get an overall clarity score plus word-by-word feedback showing exactly which words came out clearly and which didn’t.

What is YouTube Shadowing?

Open any YouTube video with subtitles and the extension lets you practice line by line: the video pauses after each subtitle, you repeat it aloud, and you get an instant score before the next line plays. It’s the classic shadowing technique with real feedback.

Is my audio recorded or stored?

No. Your recording is sent securely to our servers only to generate your score and is deleted immediately after scoring. We never store your voice or use it for anything else. See the extension privacy policy at talkdrill.com/extension/privacy for full details.

Does it work on every website?

Yes. Click the TalkDrill toolbar icon or right-click any selected text to practice on any page. The extension only runs on a page when you activate it there — it never reads your browsing in the background. On YouTube, the practice button appears automatically on subtitled videos.

Which exams and situations does it help with?

It’s built for IELTS, PTE and TOEFL speaking preparation, job interview practice, and professionals who write better English than they speak. Daily highlight-and-speak practice builds the clear pronunciation those situations demand.

The English Pronunciation Chrome Extension Built for Real Practice

Most English learners don’t need another vocabulary list — they need a way to practice speaking. TalkDrill’s pronunciation checker extension turns the reading you already do into speaking practice: highlight a sentence in a news article, a blog post, or an email draft, read it aloud, and an AI pronunciation checker tells you — word by word — which words came out clearly and which didn’t. It’s the fastest way to practice English speaking on any website, without switching apps or copying text anywhere.

Unlike dictionary or translation extensions, TalkDrill scores your speech. The free pronunciation checker gives you daily practice with no account required, and signing in (free) unlocks more daily checks plus progress tracking on talkdrill.com — where the full TalkDrill platform lives: AI conversation practice, speaking reports, and a complete IELTS speaking curriculum.

YouTube English Pronunciation Practice with Shadowing

Shadowing — repeating native speech line by line — is one of the most effective techniques for accent and fluency, and YouTube is full of perfect material. The extension adds a practice mode to any subtitled video: it pauses after each subtitle line, you repeat it aloud, and you get an instant clarity score before the next line plays. Practice with your favorite English-learning channels, TED talks, or interviews, and turn passive watching into active YouTube English pronunciation practice.

IELTS, PTE and TOEFL Speaking Preparation

Pronunciation is a scored criterion in the IELTS speaking test, and unclear words cost marks in PTE and TOEFL too. As an IELTS pronunciation practice extension, TalkDrill lets you drill the exact sentences you find in cue-card answers, model essays, and preparation articles — and shows you precisely which words an examiner might struggle to understand. A few minutes of highlight-and-speak practice a day builds the clear, confident delivery the speaking band descriptors reward.

Ready to start? Add the extension to Chrome, highlight a sentence on this page, and hear how you sound — your first pronunciation checks are free, every day.
