A review on English Pronunciation App “Awabe”


Phonetics and Phonology!!! , It was a bitter experience to read it…I was in 1st year and as a student of English Language I had to read this subject anyhow. So I started reading with lots of fear in my heart. I read the books and beside the books I also started to use some apps as a helping hand like ‘tophonetics’, ‘phonemic chart’, ‘phonetics & phonology’...but English Pronunciation App “Awabe” is totally new to me.

After using this app, it can be said that it has both avail and limitations….

Avail:

1. Describe different sounds

2. Introduces long, short, double vowels, voiced consonants, voiceless consonants

3. Describes Tongue and Mouth position at the time of pronouncing sounds

4. Support Multi language

5. Easy to practice

6. Easy to understand

7. A educational software

8. Gives examples of some words with transcription and stress marks

9. Easy to use

10. User Friendly in some point

11. Can send feedback

Limitations:

1. Cannot use offline

2  No phonemic charts

3. Limited words transcription

4. Cannot transcribe other words

5. In some American words  
pronunciation are British and for British words pronunciation are American

In conclusion, I want to say that after having some avail and limitations, this app is good and useful.
