Usually 1–3 words is enough. It is better to save a few useful words and review them later than to collect a long list.
Each story starts with professional audio from NPR and a matching editor-reviewed transcript. We use AI speech recognition to align the audio word-by-word, then cross-reference every sentence with NPR's published text to catch and correct any differences — names, numbers, and all. The result is highly accurate listening material you can trust for language practice.
