Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Listening-material-with-transcript
Hello Language Learners! 😊
We are thrilled to share a collection of free learning resources with you. These are audio materials that come with full transcripts for each episode. The best part is that you can access all these resources without needing to sign up or register!
Still, there are unavoidably distortions and opinions that can be disturbing. It can be seen as a bless that different voices exist. Whether continue listening or not, is upon you.
Dive in and enjoy your language learning journey!
If you have material without transcripts, you can try speech recognition with Google or IBM, mentioned HERE. They are not always reliable so you have to spot the SR engine's mistakes from time to time.
Being able to use SR doesn't mean that every material suits you. You need to find materials that meet your vocabulary level and grammar skill, otherwise you would be frustrated.
Similarly, if you have written material without audio, you can use text-to-speech.
You can find the podcasts with programs mentioned HERE.
If the website has no download button for the audio, then you can try DownThemAll!.
