Well. It could be spamming if I am the owner of this software or am working for its company. In fact, I am using a pirated copy and I encourage you to do so!
How could a member of the PPI be a commercial spammer
?!Speak2East is very useful for those who like the shadowing method, chorus method, and for those who want to be interpreters.
There is a free trial version, so you can try it yourself and see if it fits your learning style.
Sorry, I'm very busy these days, that's why I didn't write in full details and cut & pasted the description from the website.
