Common Questions & Answers
Quick answers to help you search vocabulary, filter by parts of speech, and accelerate your English fluency.
SayItVid is an English pronunciation search engine that helps you master natural spoken English through real-world context. When you search any word or phrase, SayItVid queries an index of over 450,000 authentic YouTube video segments (talks, interviews, documentaries, and conversations) and immediately plays the video at the exact millisecond the word is spoken with synchronized subtitles.
Traditional dictionaries provide isolated IPA phonetics or synthetic robot voices that speak in sterile, single-word isolation. In real life, native speakers use connected speech, vowel reductions, elisions, rhythm, and varied emotional cadences. SayItVid lets you see mouth movements, hear natural intonation, and understand how words blend into surrounding sentences.
SayItVid is 100% free for everyone. Anonymous guests can perform up to 10 free searches per day with zero registration required. Creating a free account unlocks 50 searches per day, custom word playlists, practice history and streaks, and developer API keys.
Yes! You can search single words, compound terms, multi-word idioms (e.g. "at the end of the day", "bite the bullet", "look forward to"), and everyday expressions. The search engine locates video timestamps where the exact phrase is articulated in continuity.
SayItVid features advanced grammatical tagging. Many English words are spelled identically but pronounced differently depending on whether they are nouns or verbs (heteronyms). You can append :verb or :noun to your search query (such as "record:verb" or "record:noun") to isolate clips containing only that specific grammatical usage.
Speech Shadowing is an effective language learning technique where you listen to authentic native speech and immediately speak it aloud, mirroring rhythm, syllable stress, and intonation. SayItVid features an interactive Speech Shadowing studio (/shadowing) and a "Practice Speaking" button on video clips. You record your voice into your microphone, and our client-side AI grader analyzes your speech, providing an instant 0β100% accuracy score and word-by-word phonetic color highlighting.
