# Tool article editorial notes

Research checked: 3 November 2026. Added 80 original short learning articles: 20 per tool. These extend the existing 100-post strategy series to 180 articles. File-backed content uses the existing blog renderer, category listings, canonical URLs, BlogPosting metadata, internal links and sitemap.

## Intent and product scope

- Oral Drill: word selection, listening, repetition, phoneme feedback, stress, endings, teaching activities and transfer to connected speech. Product scope is word-focused practice; phrase activities are complementary exercises.
- Writing Analyser: reading AI reports, criterion-specific revision, draft comparison, feedback disagreements, independent writing, privacy and academic integrity. Estimates are diagnostic, not official IELTS results.
- Photo Mode: observation, scene organisation, grammar, vocabulary, evidence-based speculation, practice difficulty, transcription review and classroom activities. Practice settings do not certify CEFR levels. Exam-related articles distinguish independent practice from official tasks.
- Accent Enhancer: interactive British-reference chart, IPA, vowel and consonant contrasts, accepted variation, teaching and transfer. The traditional 44-sound model is qualified. No voice conversion, accent erasure or chart-based recording assessment is claimed.

Each article has a distinct primary intent, original worked example, review activity, title, description, FAQs, product link and related articles. Current relevance comes from practical AI-feedback evaluation and verified tool workflows, rather than inserting a year into every title. No paid keyword-volume data, search-volume estimates, competitor rankings or ranking guarantees were invented. The articles are concise learning guides, not long-form pillar pages.

The local tool implementation was also inspected to align claims with current interfaces. Public indexed content can lag behind local changes; product claims are kept narrow. Local implementation is not evidence that those changes have been deployed.

## Verification

Run `node scripts/validate-strategy-articles.mjs --http` with the local app running. The generated validation report records counts, existing-slug collisions, per-page HTTP/schema checks and catalogue paths. Deployment and search-engine indexing are separate from adding local content.
