By now, many of you have noticed the speaker icon that has appeared on your flashcards:
![]()
That little icon toggles our exciting new text-to-speech audio features – now you can hear your flashcard content spoken to you, thanks to our advanced multilingual text-to-speech software! This is the first phase of audio integration on Quizlet… and look for a new feature called “Speller” coming soon.
Click the audio icon to review your flashcards with sound. In Learn mode, check the box that says “Speak It”:

Instead of seeing the term or definition, audio will speak it for you – all you need to do is type in your answer. If you didn’t hear it very well the first time, you can always click “replay” to hear the prompt again.
For now, we support audio in English, Spanish, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Korean, with other languages soon to come!
Audio works because of an automatic language detection feature. Most of the time, we guess your language correctly, but sometimes you may have to manually override the language. There are a couple of different places where you can change the language tags on your own sets:
on the set page at the top of the terms list -

and at the bottom of the screen when you’re creating or editing a set.

Check out our audio FAQ page if you want to read more about these features: How does audio work on Quizlet?
We hope you are as excited about audio as we are! As always, we welcome your feedback.
i love computer generated voices, when they mis-pronounce stuff, it makes me laugh so hard
Yay Quizlet is getting better every day!
In this case hourly
I know it’s so cool!
totally legit
The Spanish Accent is really good!! However the latin doesnt sound too great…
Thank you so so so much. It is the best flashcard I have ever seen.
Can I still listen to the sound after import to the iPAD Touchcard?
This was my idea! Except I was thinking you would say the word but this is better! Don’t beleive me? Comment #303 on Check out all the buzz around Quizlet this month! October 2010.
spanish is great! so helpful!! thanks!!
pshhh this site is amazzzzing
Amazingness. I told them the news was getting out-of-date and here it is, one day later after emailing me.
You guys are awesome!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you, you have made my dream come true. I cannot wait to share with my students.
Fantastic !! Thanks a lot
Thank you!!!
awesomesauce.
love it thanks quizlet!
you should make something that makes you speak the word next
Honestly, I wish you guys would concentrate on improving the UI instead of adding features like this.
@Jon, how do you think the UI could be improved?
wow what a great idea
Love it!!!!
Me encanta la voz! I love that my students can hear the pronunciation and I don’t have to keep repeating it! Thanks:)
Great thing, waiting for more languages to come!
this is awsome
I LOVE this feature! It helps me immensely with Spanish. What will you come up with next? (:
good gracious, computers learn really fast
Thank you. My teachers give verbal tests
Awesome! What languages are available?
@icey.. it says
English, Spanish, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Korean,
You help me a lot to teach my students! My favourite site ever. Waiting for French to come.
The new audio feature is so helpful for my students! Keep up the good work! I would just ask for you to report scores in Test in both points and percentages. What do you think?
totally blown away… the korean voice is fantastic!!!
ok… just tried out a set and have a couple minor suggestions:
1) speed control settings
(slow, medium, fast– or maybe a sliding dial)
2) when speaking, ignore stuff in parenthesis
(configuration check box)
Great work guys!!!
i think the audio is sweet! ~ i listened to the words so i know how 2 pronounce them! I think u should get more languages!
Quizlet rocks!
what about french and Latin??
i need those but thanks
Truly, the best things in life are free.How this still manages to be free beats me. But why ask why? This SOOOOOOOOOOO beats guesstimating the correct pronunciations for the words we are trying to learn. Thanks a million!!!
okay..
so… I did the sound thing but it didn’t work
can anyone help me
i can’t figure out how to do it
i followed all the things they told me to do
this helps me pronounce my Spanish vocabulary, now my teacher can stop complaining
I really enjoy how quizlet always comes out with new features, but I would appreciate if the audio feature came out for German.
I have always said that the only thing missing was audio. Now it is here. Spanish is almost perfect. I wonder if there is any thought to making the audio speed variable. Thank you very much.
Neato.
OMG!! this is absolutley perfect! Because when i feel like studying, but not typing, ill just click the audio button and it will read it to me!!! Absolutley perfect! Great job Quizlet team!!!! BTW plz join my group Daily Questions- Answered!!!
:’o
I love the audio. You can actually understand the meaning of the words and how to say them. It helps pronouceate other languages so you can talk more fluently. I got to say you’ve outdone yourself Quizlet!
P.S. Best Wishes to the Staff who work so hard to keep this website running!
Great idea, but I and a lot of other people want LATIN pronunciations.
Latin, Greek and Polish would be nice
Thanks!
Great idea… but I wish there was a way to have it say both sides of the flash cards, perhaps adding a voice button in the flash card section above…. I like it.
oh never mind ….. lololol. it helps to look first.
This is great for spelling and foreign languages, where it can be self-defeating to see the written form of terms you are learning!!
Please consider add the flexibility to
* choose whether to speak one or both sides,
and whether to repeat the question along with the answer;
* choose how to designate text that should not be spoken.
For example:
When prompting user with question
( ) display text ( ) read text aloud ( ) display AND read
When revealing correct answer
( ) display text ( ) read text aloud ( ) display AND read
[ ] repeat reading question before reading answer
[ ] Do not read text that is enclosed in
[ ] Parenthesis e.g. (silent)
[ ] Braces e.g. {silent}
[ ] Other delimiters: Opening ___ Closing ___
(e.g. /* silent */)

THANKS!
i think it already has latin!
oh wow they say stuff, i thought they meant the person says the stuff then tey recognize it, but i guess i was wrong, wow, total letdown from quizlet.
@Hi
See here: http://quizlet.com/faqs/faq-how-does-audio-work-on-quizlet/
This is what Quizlet wastes its time with!
this is great, thanks a bunch
Thank you,
You did a great job.
You did a great job.
Thank you very much.
Thank, I like this site, its going to help me build my vocabulary and look more deeply into the words that I already know. excellent!!!!!
You guys are legite.
Quizlet is getting better every time and I love when websites read things then you dont have to read and sometimes the voices are funny and sometimes they sound like robots!!!!!
amazing, spanish vocab is so easy for oral exams now!
OK?
more games
Awesome! But it’s still a little glitchy…. but it is funny when they mispronounce things.
That’s really cool! Do they have French pronunciations?
This is an awesome new feature, but it would be a lot better if you had French!! French is not a phonetic language so it is really hard to know how to pronounce the words!! thanks!
what happened to french? It would be also nice to hear how words are properly pronounced in french.
Whoever came up with the idea to make the flashcards talk to you deserves a standing ovation. It helps a lot with foreign languages! Thank you Quizlet!!!!
This site is wonderful I like that I can hear it and see it !!
It helps me to say alot of the meds that I am studing !!! Thanks Quizlet!!!!!
love it! its great. i luv this site too
The audio is great but something is missing. O-Yeah, LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! LATIN!!!!!! The root of all western languages!! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE IT! Plz get latin up ASP! Thankyou. LATIN!!!!!!
I love how the voices sound. its pretty cool…. and wicked funny!
Hey as long as you have spanish, im good.
@anonymous (#64)- thats a good point! I never even thought about that. My teacher gives us a list of the possible spanish questions so now i can actually hear “her” ask them!
Incredible! Can’t wait to show this to my student!
Thanks a lot. I love it!!!!
this is a good thing to have on quiz let to help out the people
it pronounces some of the medical terms better than me
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Love Quizlet
This is so fabulous! I’ve been teaching language for almost 9 years and I wish I could have had access to this since the beginning! My students love it! And her accent in Spanish is great.
Thanks for adding audio. Great job! I love quizlet. Suggestion: Could you please add audio to the test section? It will hel so much. Thank you again for the great job!
@Anonymous: how would you envision that to work? On the written questions, just having a audio icon you had to click on?
I mean it doesn’t work like on any of my computers
@Andrew Sutherland: that would work or it could be like the “learn” is so you can’t see the question at all.
cool u can make the computer say some pretty funny things!
Nice Job, Quizlet. Very useful tool.
looooooovee it. good one quizlet
The voice isn’t that good at rocognizing words but im sure that quizlet will fix it
This is so helpful! I especially love how the flashcards can tell what language the words are in and have the accent in the voice for it!
Keep up the good work guys! You are doing an awesome job with this website.
cool! This site helps a lot
Great idea, I absolutely love it!
This feature is GRANDTASTIC!
kool boring
i am soo hungry
hungry
100th comment!
and mitchell is hungry if you havent noticed
102. lol
fix the mispronounciations (CANT SPELL idunno)
Hey everybody go to my page wertzwoman14
This is amazing. Accent is great!
I first didn’t think it was any big deal, and then I tried it out and it rocked! It really helps with my Spanish! Thank you Quizlet!
Quizlet gets better and better!!!
I’d say it needs a bit more work. It’s pretty bad at pronouncing certain words that derive from other languages, etc…
This is SWEET and AWESOME! I wish it could pronounce the words in different languages…! But way to go !
Awesome!!!!
THIS IS GREAT FOR ME
been lookin for one and thank GOD! it made my studying alot easier!
wow this is gr8! now it’ll make studying my german stuff a lot easier!
this is great
when i use audio on quizlet it works for everything else except in learn mode
Awesome! I love Quizlet!!
I can’t wait until you enable audio in French! Quelle bonne idée! The audio will help my students tremendously!
love this! saved my life!!!!
i love you andrew!!!!!!!
I love it but i think you should put it on the test as well.
Other than that it looks great
p.s. New video on Youtube – Battle of naboo
wow. this is top-notch. really helps me. read. listen. type. all the things that i really need to learn vocab. go quizlet!!! ya ya!
yeah ya’ll should put it on the test too!
Oh. thats a relief. now if you dont know that word, you can always use the audio!
Wonderful ..that’s a great update and very important addition to Quizlet we always looking for.
Thank you Quizlet, thank you for making the learning more interesting!
luv itt! thnx guyss
It’s awesome. Now I don’t need to record the words myself and everything is in one place. Great! Thanks a lot.
yea its so cool
Please Please put GERMAN and FRENCH!!!
This is absolutely wonderful. Many other sites offer audio but you have to spend the time recording each piece of audio yourself. Thank you so much for listening to the users of your product. I am a VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!!
=D Finally something to help me with school considering i love to talk
oh my god!!!finally!!
Awesome! hope you do German and Hindi
heyyyyy thx awesommme<3
i like to put in random stuff and listen to it voice is ze best!!!
Lov this site, lov it even more now!! Thanx soooooo much! Fantastical!!
I really like the idea. It helps with spanish a lot. Thanks!!!
Great – When will French follow?
That is pretty cool!
quizletttt is MY LIFE! haha i lovee it (:
i actually shouted out loud when i was playing the space gamee thats when you know you are addictedd(: butt now i can type A LOTTT fasterrr thanks quizlet x10000000000
ohhh and the audio is good too (: hahahaha ^^^^
I absolutely love the audio. Especially when I’m studying for an oral evaluation, in Spanish, the audio is really helpful because I won’t be able to see the word on the paper, so I shouldn’t be able to see it on the screen. It would be even better if I could say the answer, which would fully prepare me for an oral evaluation, but this is the next best thing. A wonderful idea!
Good Job
I LOVE QUIZLET
AND EGGROLLS
AND TACOS
AND RAMEN NOODLES
THINK!
QUIZLET is cool i like it………
I actually like the whole idea of quizlet requiring audio to some of the lessons because you can interact with the words and your vocabulary…… And really that is ALL I have to say so I love you quiz bye

cool beans it helps alot with those annoying gods and goddeses names their pronounciation is so hardddd
finally talking Spanish cards sooo will be helpful in Spanish class next year
I AM LOVING THIS! THIS IS GOING TO HELP WITH SPANISH!
The new audio addition to quizlet is amazing! Verbal study always helps me!
HI!
This new audio feature is exactly what I was dreaming of and it is so fantastic that it spurred my fantasy to run wild and started to imagine how it could be used even better!
If there was an auto-play – loop play setting then one could listen to a whole set from the loudspeakers while doing something different, or even better make an mp3 file and take it with him to listen together with the printed sheet of the words !
Now if a sentence is longer than a few words there is a noticeable break before the second part is read. The auto play functionality could also be used to go through the whole set first and play it from RAM memory next time in perfect quality!
Awesome! Thank You!
Awesome!! I love Quizlet, and audio makes it even better. Great Job!!!
great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
would be cool if we could upload our own audio files though – and it would be truly a relief to disable audio for on of the card’s side. i find it disgusting to listen to english when i want to train japanese. distracts me to no end.
Yeah, that would be sweet!
Love the audio- except I need it in french? Thanks
your advid quizlette
I agree with petrob. “Auto play loop” could be as simple as a “play all” button. OR you could have an all inclusive “play all” button that would automatically flip through your cards as well as speak them. That way I wouldn’t have to click to move to the next flash card each time.
I’d like to be able to control how quickly she’s speaking too. I found myself inserting lots of excess commas so that I could really hear what she was saying.
Also, if I have too many words on one flash card (with the name and that person’s quote on one side) she will say the name and not read anything more. I could solve this easily by breaking up my lengthy quotes into multiple flash cards, but if she’d just read it all that would be great too.
More games!
Is there any way to add our own audio files? I have mp3s to go with vocabulary already and I’d like to use them. How about a flash player? Can I use HTML coding to add a small player for mp3s that are already hosted somewhere else?
find the audio a good help just one problem or request. In learn when she says the term or definition can we just say what the answer instead of typing it? Thnx if you do that!!!
I love the Spanish accent!!! It is absolutely PERFECTION!! Please, pretty please add French as soon as you can, it would totally help me out even more <3 I ABSOLUTELY adore QUIZLET!! My lifesaver <3
dude- saying it a billion times isnt gonna be any more effective than saying it ONCE!
Heyyy i love quizlet has helped me because now i have been getting A+ on my vocab yay!!!!
:)

A nice idea, though, like Julie (post 165) I would love to be able to add my own audio
is there a way to download the audio on your ipod??
This is great, now we need it in French.
French and Portuguese PLEASE thank you!
Great job quizlet!
I agree with needing to add a continuous auto play so you can listen without having to click “next.”
Maybe lay in bed and listen to flashcards instead of reading them? Just a suggestion…
Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs I’ve came across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space great graphics, videos, layout. quizlet.com is definitely a must-see blog!
Nice post. I was checking out regularly this website and I am shocked! Beneficial information especially the leftover area I manage these types of tips a lot. I’d been in search of that data for a long period. Appreciate it and also with success.
