Abstract
A methodology to improve a listeners understanding of the spoken word. The methodology comprises a large set of vocal recordings organized by categories or topics. The methodology allows the user to select a type of recording to be played and then allows the users to test the listener's ability to understand the audio recording through a user input and verification process. The methodology may also allow for the user to listen to the recording multiple times and an insert via typed words what the listeners thinks they heard. The methodology may also allow the listeners to submit the typed words and receive an evaluation as to the listener's ability to correctly hear the spoken word.
