What is Wordsmith in Blue Canoe?

Wordsmith is a feature in Blue Canoe that allows you to practice and improve your English sentences. It is found in the Wordsmith tab at the bottom of the screen. This tool helps you craft sentences with correct pronunciation and tone.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Enter a Sentence: Type any sentence into the input box.
  2. Customize the Dialect: Choose from American, British, Canadian, Australian, or New Zealand English to match the desired style of your sentence.
  3. Select the Tone: Adjust the tone of the sentence to professional, casual, sarcastic, or leave it unchanged.
  4. Check Spelling: You can also choose to check your sentence for spelling and grammar before submitting.
  5. Practice Pronunciation: Once you submit your sentence, Wordsmith identifies the key focus words, marks the stressed syllables, and applies the Color Vowel system. You can then practice saying the sentence out loud, just like in a pronunciation lesson.

Wordsmith helps you enhance your spoken English by allowing you to personalize sentences. Then, you can practice them with clear guidance on stress and pronunciation.
