Abstract

This article presents a design and an implementation of Web application for English pronunciation training. Nowadays, there are a lot of on-line applications that help to improve English level or skill level of any other foreign language. On the other hand, there are not so many applications that help to improve pronunciation of given language. This project was developed to fill the gap, and to enable users to practice pronunciation by repeating short video segments. Using their microphone device users will record their speech. This speech will be compared with the reference recording. Result of this comparison will be returned to the user as a similarity score. The similarity score is computed using Dynamic Time Warping algorithm, that is incorporated inside a video player used in this application.

Keywords

Pronunciation training, user speech, English language, Web application, similarity score, video, video segment, DTW.
