Pronunciation Trainer

Using waveforms to help learn pronunciations.

❔ What is it?

• Many people try "shadowing" when learning languages. See more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_shadowing
• I thought that I would make a program that would help with that.
• Basically, the program displays a word (in target language) along with its audio wave form. You can then record your pronunciation and compare the waveforms.

🌱 Ideas for Improvement:

• Check out audio spectrogramming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram

⚡ Features:

• Creates waveform images of audio!
• Records and plays audio!
• Allows for comparison of waveforms!
• Animations and such.

🔨 To do:
