VoicePlay: Real‑time, child‑optimized pronunciation feedback
VoicePlay analyzes the individual sounds within words and provides immediate, child‑friendly feedback that highlights what a learner pronounces well and where they can improve. The feature is designed specifically for children’s voices and integrates seamlessly into short, game‑based speaking activities, turning practice into an approachable, repeatable routine. Independent coverage has highlighted the phoneme‑level approach as filling a gap between traditional “right/wrong” speech checks and the targeted feedback typically offered by teachers and therapists.
