What objective/ reliable/ valid etc tool to use when analysing pronunciation Accuracy (native-likeness) of a given speech?

30 November 2024 1 10K Report

Hi,

I am investigating pronunciation accuracy (native-likeness) in learners' speech. In order to do that, I need to compare their pronunciation (some phonemes), to those of native speakers of the language. What tools do you recommend for this purpose?

Suresh Thontadarya

Any speech acoustic analysis software can be used for this purpose.

1. https://software.sil.org/speech-analyzer/

2. https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/

speech -analyzer has the advantage of being menu driven

Praat has many scripts available online to do batch analysis of large data sets.

Good Luck
