NativeAccent English Speech Training Overview

NativeAccent English speech training software prepares English language learners to speak and understand English in a rapid and cost-effective manner. Incorporating the linguistic expertise and technical innovations developed through decades of research at Carnegie Mellon University's Language Technologies Institute, learners’ pronunciation scores increase up to 100% in 10 hours of active learning. This has decreased speech training time and costs up to 50%, and delivered up to a 10X return on speech training investments.

NativeAccent delivers pronunciation training, operational and financial returns by personalizing the English pronunciation training experience for each user. With pronunciation tutoring technologies pinpointing the exact error in English pronunciation, and demonstrating via text, audio and graphics exactly what must be done to correctly pronounce English words and phrases, training operations are streamlined while English pronunciation skills rapidly improve.

Functioning as an automated pronunciation tutor, NativeAccent assesses and ranks pronunciation challenges so that each user can focus their English speech training time on the pronunciation, grammar, fluency, and prosodic training activities to improve English pronunciation skills in a rapid and cost-effective manner.

How NativeAccent English Speech Training Works

Leveraging an extensible software platform using Speech Recognition and Artificial Intelligence Technologies under exclusive global license from Carnegie Mellon University, NativeAccent trains users to pronounce English words and phrases correctly by comparing the user's spoken words against a composite model of English speech, taking into account relevant gender, geography, and other cultural contexts. Based on this comparison, a personalized English speech training curriculum is developed that prioritizes English pronunciation challenges, pinpoints speaking errors, and provides immediate, detailed English speech remediation instruction.
