A real-time English Pronunciation feedback app

English is my second language, and I'm always conscious of my speech in order to detect when the listener is having trouble understanding my accent and mispronunciations. A few years ago, I gave an investor pitch, and at the end of the presentation, the investor corrected my pronunciation for a critical word that was the core of my business. I had been mispronouncing the word the entire time without even realizing it. Recently, I've been interviewing for a few companies, and I decided to create an app for my personal use with two goals in mind. * To practice for my technical presentations…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

English is my second language, and I'm always conscious of my speech in order to detect when the listener is having trouble understanding my accent and mispronunciations. A few years ago, I gave an investor pitch, and at the end of the presentation, the investor corrected my pronunciation for a critical word that was the core of my business. I had been mispronouncing the word the entire time without even realizing it. Recently, I've been interviewing for a few companies, and I decided to create an app for my personal use with two goals in mind. * To practice for my technical presentations and detect/correct mistakes before the actual presentation * To detect when my speech was unclear during the interviews and become more attentive to my pronunciation in those particular moments. The app has been extremely helpful to me, so I cleaned it up and am sharing it for others to use. If you are preparing for a high-stakes presentation or conversation, this tool will help you practice and correct mispronunciation. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback. If you want to try it out, here's the link: https://real-time-pronunciation.web.app/.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
