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
