Listen, type, unscramble
Hear a KJV verse and type what you hear, or tap shuffled words back into order. Long verses are split into chunks of up to 12 words. Your scores stay in this browser only.
Your first practice
Pick a practice type and verses, then press Start. Each verse takes a minute or two.

How it works
- 🎧 Listen & type
Press ▶ to hear a chunk, type what you heard and press Check. Capitals and punctuation don't count. Matching words turn green, missed words get a red wavy underline. Speed goes from 0.6× to 1.0×, and ↻ replays as often as you like.
- 💡 Three hint levels
None → first letters (T__ L___ i_ m_ s_______) → Hangul pronunciation (더 로드 이즈 마이 셰퍼드). The Korean verse can be shown or hidden at any time. Pronunciation is generated automatically from CMUdict.
- 🧩 Word order
With the Korean verse as your prompt, tap the shuffled words in English order. Wrong taps lower the score. Each finished chunk is read aloud.
- 🎙 Speak & check
Read the chunk aloud (Hangul pronunciation shown) and your browser's speech recognizer (US English) writes down what it heard; we line it up with the verse word by word. Understood words get a green ✓, missed ones a red ✗ with a wavy underline, plus a tip based on the stress marks, a 🔊 model and a just-this-word retry. Archaic forms written in modern English (believeth heard as believes) count as correct and show ≈. Audio may go to your browser's recognition service (Google, Apple and so on); this site never receives or stores it.
- ⭐ Scores
Each verse keeps its best score for each practice type. Every finished verse also counts toward the daily goal and day streak shared with memory cards.
How to read the Hangul
beginning the Christ salvation
- Bold, larger (ˈ) = say it strong and a little longer — the stressed syllable.
- Faint = weak and short (a reduced vowel). Don't give every syllable equal weight.
- Tiny 으 · 트 · 스 = barely voiced. English has no vowel there — stop on the consonant.
- Whole word faint (the, of, and, to…) = light and quick in a sentence; stress the content words.
- Small f v θ ð r = sounds Korean doesn't have — f: upper teeth on the lower lip; v: the same, voiced; θ/ð: tongue tip between the teeth; r: tongue curled back, touching nothing.
