Airport Roleplay

• The officer's question is spoken by a native voice and shown with its English meaning.
• Tap the microphone and answer aloud. Pause when you finish — it stops on its own.
• Your browser transcribes the speech and compares it to the acceptable answers.
• Several answers are correct for each question, because several are correct in life.
• Stuck? “Hear a model answer” plays one, and Skip moves on without judgement.

No audio leaves your device. Recognition runs in the browser through the Web Speech API; only the text it produces is compared, and it is discarded immediately. We never send speech to a cloud speech-to-text service.

Which browsers does this work in?

Chrome and Edge on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Android. Safari on iPhone and iPad does not support in-page speech recognition yet — on an unsupported browser you can still hear the questions and the model answers and practise aloud, but there is no automatic scoring.

Does it grade my tones?

Not directly. Browser speech recognition cannot reliably distinguish the four tones, so the game scores whether your syllables came out clearly enough to be recognised as the right words. Use the model answer audio to check your tones by ear — and the tone trainer to drill them.

Do I really need to answer in Chinese at Chinese immigration?

No — officers at the major airports ask in English, and answering in English is completely normal. The value of practising in Chinese is recognition speed: when you know the shape of the question, the two seconds of panic disappear whichever language you reply in. The written version is on airport and immigration.
