Hi Erin,
This sounds like a perfect use-case for iSpraak! If you are not familiar, you can check it out here:
You can provide a pre-recorded audio file as the model, or use the text-to-speech synthesis. In any case, students are provided immediate visual feedback (via transcription), and problematic words are highlighted for the students, connecting them to real-life
speech samples for further review.
You as an instructor can also view analytics about the most commonly missed words for any given activity, so you can emphasize those words again in class.
Let me know if you have any questions--- A few years ago I found myself looking for the same product you describe, and I ended up developing iSpraak as a solution.
Cheers,

The task that I really want the kids to do is for them to be able to

listen to audio that I put in, and then read it aloud, and have it written

on the screen, or the audio saved.

I've been using a Google doc, and distributing a copy if it for each

student with Google classroom. On the doc are practice sentences. The

students read each sentence, and the Google voice recorder writes down what

they say.
