DialectCoach

DialectCoach is a mobile + web AI app that helps actors, call-center staff, and immigrants practice region-specific pronunciation, rhythm, and common phrasing with immediate, actionable feedback. Users pick a target variety (e.g., Scottish English, Mexican Spanish, Quebec French), then work through short drills: minimal pairs, intonation mimicry, and real-life dialogue. The app records your voice, compares it to native reference clips, and highlights the few features that most strongly signal “non-local” (vowel shifts, stress timing, consonant realizations). It also includes a “phrasebook that actually matches the region,” showing what people say in that city/area, not textbook standard language. This is not a magic ‘erase your accent’ product; it’s a focused training tool that improves intelligibility and authenticity through repetition, feedback, and targeted listening.
