In 2023, Tits, N. & Broisson, Z.
created a mobile application called Flowchase for
personalized pronunciation training that utilizes a speech technology pipeline API and a model
for detecting mispronunciations based on the wav2vec2 architecture for analyzing English
learners’ pronunciation and providing instant feedback.
Markus et al. (2022) developed a web – based application called the SalukiSpeech it
provides flexible, student driven practice using ASR-dictation to support learners in identifying
and addressing errors in pronunciation and focuses on providing a range of pronunciation
learning activities. It relies on and draws from Flask/Python and Google API.
Castelo, A. (2020). conducted a study in aiming and identifying the possibilities of using
the FunEasyLearn language learning mobile app to promote the pronunciation learning by
beginners of European Portuguese in an autonomous way or as a complement to language
classes. It uses several speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) APIs and is primarily built
using React Native using JavaScript and React. The results show that this app features many
strengths, especially in terms of user experience and technology, and presents various
properties that make it greatly helpful to support pronunciation learning.
Kuznetsov et al. (2020) design a free open-source mobile application called
StudyIntonation it uses the Web Audio API for recording and analyzing audio, and Praat, a
software for speech analysis, for pitch curve analysis. This primarily built using Python for the
backend, with Flask as the web framework, and JavaScript along with jQuery and [Link] for the
frontend.
Moxon, S. (2024), study on the ALL-Talk, a web-based autonomous learning platform
designed to enhance English-speaking skills among EFL students, was evaluated over ten
weeks with 17 EFL undergraduate students, focusing on enhancing their business English
communicative skills through improved fluency and pronunciation. Informed by extensive
literature on second language speech influences, corrective feedback, and technology
integration in language learning, ALL-Talk leverages Microsoft Azure’s API capabilities,
including text-to-speech, automatic speech recognition, automatic pronunciation assessment,
and immediate visual feedback mechanisms.
Rosiyani, N. (2024), this study was to find out how the Say It application influences the
pronunciation mastery of English consonant and vowel at the first semester of eleventh grade
students of SMAN 5 Bandar Lampung in the academic year of 2022/2023. The Say-It
application uses several APIs to convert spoken words into text and provide pronunciation
feedback. Specifically, it utilizes the Web Speech API for speech recognition and the Speech
Synthesis API for generating spoken output. It is primarily developed using JavaScript and
[Link] for the backend, with a frontend built using HTML, CSS, and React. The research was
conducted at SMAN 5 Bandar Lampung involving the students of XI IPS 3, as the participants
consisted of 34 students, which were selected through the cluster random sampling method.
The result of the data analysis could be concluded that the Say-It application gave influence to
the students’ pronunciation mastery.
