TonePerfect vs SpanishDict
SpanishDict is the reference most Spanish learners already have open in another tab — the biggest Spanish-English dictionary online, with conjugation tables and native audio for millions of words. It is not a rival so much as the other half of the job: it tells you how a word should sound, and never hears how you said it.

Dónde TonePerfect llega más lejos
- ✓It plays the model; it never listens to you — there is no scoring of any kind
- ✓We score every phoneme and align it back to spelling, so you can see which letters made which sound
- ✓Linking between words is scored too, which is where fluent-sounding Spanish is won or lost
- ✓Your weakest sounds are ranked and drilled
Conclusión
Keep SpanishDict — nothing free is better for looking a word up, checking a conjugation or hearing a native model. Then say the word into TonePerfect, which scores every phoneme and shows which letters produced which sound, so a silent h or a c that came out as an s is visible rather than guessed at.
Preguntas frecuentes
Can SpanishDict check my pronunciation?
No. It gives you the model recording and the phonetic spelling; judging your own attempt against it is left to you, which is the one thing a beginner’s ear is not yet able to do.
What does per-sound scoring add for Spanish?
Spanish is spelled close to how it sounds, which fools learners into thinking pronunciation is solved. The errors that remain — b/v, d between vowels, the r, unstressed vowels that get English-ised, and the linking between words — are exactly the ones a per-phoneme score surfaces.
