About this app

TonePerfect is an AI pronunciation coach for 8 languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese and Korean. Working on your English accent? Record yourself and see a score for every sound.

Mandarin Chinese is the most complete course. You speak. The AI listens, scores every syllable and tells you exactly what went wrong: the initial, the final or the tone. No vague "try again". Real feedback on your real voice.

▶ CHINESE (MANDARIN): WHAT'S INSIDE
- AI voice coach (Pro): role-play everyday situations out loud in Mandarin.
- Instant pronunciation analysis: record a word or a sentence and see every syllable scored, broken down into initial, final and tone.
- Tones and tone pairs: Mandarin lives in the transitions. Practise every tone pair, not just isolated tones, plus tone changes (sandhi).
- Initial and final drills: see whether your b/p, zh/ch/sh or -ang/-eng/-ong was off, then drill that exact sound until it clicks.
- Tone games: Falling Tones, Tone Sprint, Tone Twins and Tone Drill train your ear in a few minutes.
- 2-minute placement test: your HSK level and the sounds to practise first.
- HSK path: see which sounds block which words, then clear them.
- Pinyin chart with audio: 400+ syllables in four tones, tap to listen.
- Short daily sessions, streaks, daily goals and a weekly league to keep you going.
- Practise any word or sentence you type.

▶ 7 MORE COURSES
English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese and Korean: every word is scored sound by sound.
- Speech X-Ray: three short readings rank your weakest sounds.
- A short daily session built on the sounds you need most.
- A sound library with a one-tap drill for every sound.
- AI voice coach (Pro): talk through everyday situations out loud.

▶ WHO IT'S FOR
- Learners stuck at "people understand me, but I sound wrong".
- HSK 1 to HSK 6 students preparing to speak.
- Self-study learners who want honest feedback, not more flashcards.
- Anyone who has been told "your tones are off" without being told why.

▶ WHAT IT ISN'T
Not a vocabulary flashcard app and not a grammar course. TonePerfect is a speaking tool: you practise out loud and the AI tells you the truth.

▶ WHY IT WORKS
Most apps grade you on whether a recogniser understood your word. TonePerfect scores three layers of every syllable:
1. Initial (b, p, m, zh, ch, sh, r, j, q, x…)
2. Final (-an, -en, -ang, -eng, -ong, -ian, -üe…)
3. Tone (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, neutral)
You see exactly where the error is, fix that layer and move on.

▶ FREE TO START
TonePerfect Pro unlocks the full courses, unlimited practice and the voice coach.

Download TonePerfect and stop guessing how your Chinese is supposed to sound. 加油!

despite learning Mandarin for two years I still have some pronunciation issues, minor but problematic. This app can hear what you are getting wrong and tell you how to fix it. Is it the initial. the final, the tone, clarity of the sounds. This really allows you to practice what issue you might have. Be it saying the syllables in isolation or in sentences. Very helpful!

most of the way there but some portions of the pinyin chart my personal teacher says im good but this app always says is near 0% correct sound. only seems usable for a subset of the chart so no point worrying about the drills and monitezation.

Thank you for describing the problem. A near-zero score does not necessarily mean your pronunciation is wrong; recording or alignment can affect it. Please report an affected recording in the app so we can investigate the specific sound and result.

TonePerfect is a solid Mandarin pronunciation tool with detailed feedback on initials, finals, and pitch contours. However, using your phone’s built-in mic is a recipe for frustration. Modern smartphone noise-cancellation DSP misinterprets low pitch dips (like 3rd tones) and vocal fry as background noise, filtering them out. This causes the AI to penalize correct tones and clip initial consonants. To get accurate scores without fighting hardware glitches, use a basic USB-C wired mic or adapter.
