TonePerfect vs Speechling
Speechling is the honest competitor to an AI pronunciation scorer: it sends your recording to a human coach who writes back. A person hears things no engine models. The trade is turnaround and volume — a coach answers in about a day, and the free tier covers ten recordings a month. Here is how the two compare when what you want is your accent fixed.

Ce que Speechling fait mieux
- ✓Real human coaches — they catch things no engine is trained to model, and they tell you how to fix it, not just that it was wrong
- ✓A genuinely free tier with no credit card, plus a scholarship programme for people who cannot pay
- ✓The entire curriculum and all native audio are free; only the coaching volume is metered
- ✓Ten-plus languages, including every language TonePerfect teaches
Là où TonePerfect va plus loin
- ✓Instant feedback on every take — no waiting for a coach’s reply, and no monthly quota on how many takes get judged
- ✓A number per sound, which a human cannot produce for every phoneme of every repetition

- ✓10 AI assessments a day on the free tier, against 10 coached recordings a month
En résumé
If you can only pick one and you want judgement, pick Speechling — a trained human ear beats any scorer at telling you what to do differently. If you want measurement, pick TonePerfect: every take scored per sound, instantly, as many takes as you like, with the weak sounds tracked over weeks. The two solve different halves of the same problem, and the free tiers of both cost nothing to try.
Questions fréquentes
Is a human coach better than an AI score?
For diagnosis, usually yes — a coach can hear that your tongue is too far forward and say so in words. For measurement, no: nobody is going to hand-score all forty phonemes of every one of your fifty repetitions, and that repetition is where pronunciation actually changes.
Do they overlap enough that I only need one?
Not really. Speechling is a slow, high-quality feedback loop; TonePerfect is a fast, high-volume one. Using the coach to understand a sound and then drilling it against a score is a better week than either alone.
Which is cheaper?
Both have real free tiers. Speechling’s free tier limits coached recordings to ten a month; ours limits AI assessments to ten a day. Paid, TonePerfect starts lower.
