Partial credit (each word)

What this task is

A transcript of the recording appears with several words missing. As you listen, you type the missing words into the gaps. Spelling counts.

How to score well

Keep your eyes moving along the transcript, staying just ahead of the audio.
Type each missing word the moment you hear it — don't wait.
Spelling matters, so drill common academic words.
If you miss one, leave it and catch the next; don't fall behind.

Common mistakes to avoid

Losing your place in the transcript
Misspelling a word you heard correctly
Freezing on one gap and missing the next

Lumi tip: Read the transcript in the seconds before audio starts so you know what's coming.
