## Motivation

This tool uses AI to evaluate your pronunciation so you can be understood more clearly. To directly test the tool, go to https://aipronunciationtr.com (please use the chrome browser for desktop).

Often, when we want to improve our pronunciation, it is very difficult to self-assess how good we’re speaking. Asking a native, or language instructor, to constantly correct us is either impractical, due to monetary constrains, or annoying due to simply being too boring for this other person. Additionally, they may often say “it sounds okay” after your 10th try to not discourage you, even though you may still have some mistakes in your pronunciation.

This project originated from a small program that I did to improve my own pronunciation. When I finished it, I believed it could be a useful tool also to other people trying to be better understood, so I decided to make a simple, more user friendly version of it.

The AI pronunciation trainer is a way to provide objective feedback on how well your pronunciation is in an automatic and scalable fashion, so the only limit to your improvement is your own dedication.
