Inspiration
One of our team members is learning Chinese, and as a non-native speaker, it is often difficult for her to learn the correct pronunciations that are central to Chinese.
What it does
Our website aims to teach both Chinese meanings and pronunciation. A user may edit others' practice sets or create their own, and our website uses speech recognition to determine if the user is pronouncing a phrase correctly. If the user is unsure of how to pronounce something, the website also has a text-to-speech feature.
Challenges we ran into
Finding the right APIs was difficult because we needed compatibility with Chinese. We ended up testing out quite a few for speech recognition and text-to-speech.
