How good is your Chinese pronunciation, really?

Reading about tones is not the same as producing them. Say a few words into your mic and the AI scores every syllable — tone, initial and final — then shows you which sounds are holding you back.

Runs in your browser. Nothing to install.

Train, don't just read

Practice your pronunciation in the app

A guide can explain the tones, but you can't fix your pronunciation by reading. The TonePerfect app lets you actually say the words and scores every syllable — initial, final, and tone — in real time, so you hear your mistakes and correct them on the spot.

  • Instant AI feedback on every syllable
  • Practice any word, sentence, or HSK list
  • Hands-on tone training you can't get from reading
