I have trouble understanding numbers, sometimes I need a moment or two to process what I’ve heard. I’ve searched for an app that could help me practice it but every one had some critical flaw. So I created my own solution and now I’m sharing it with the WK community. https://numbers-coach.tomaszoledzki.pl
It relies on Web Speech API. Available languages depends on your system and installed languages.
Bug reports, feature requests, feedback of any form are very much welcomed.
Seems very useful, thanks for sharing. Even in native language, I struggle with numbers. Would be nice to have higher numbers ( when I need a headache ).
Thanks! It would probably make sense to practice rounded big numbers like 345000 or 1200000 and not 345678 or 1245642 (impossible to memorize, isn’t it?).
Thank you very much for this. I’ve relied on merely making numbers up and trying to speak them as I go down a list, but that doesn’t really reinforce the listening aspect of it, which is the hardest. It also takes me a considerable amount of time to process them, even if I do understand the words.
I’m using Safari on MacOS and was confused about where to set the voice language to Japanese. Turns I just needed to select the voice “Kyoko” to get Japanese readings. I don’t remember having installed anything in the past to get the Japanese voice - it just worked for me.
No one asked, but just to throw it out there, you can also get a lot of number practice in by listening to the weather and stock market segments of news broadcasts.
Wondering if there could also be a feature where it generates the number, you (try to) say it yourself, and see if you got it right by playing the audio? Not asking for an actual pronunciation check by the app, just self checking? (maybe with a timer option that autoplays the audio?)
