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 talk. The AI listens, scores every syllable, and tells you exactly what went wrong — the initial, the final, the tone, or the transition between them. No vague "try again." Real feedback on real speech.

▶ CHINESE (MANDARIN): WHAT'S INSIDE
- AI Voice Call — have a real Mandarin conversation with an AI Chinese tutor. Pick a topic, speak naturally, and get a full post-call review with every mistake, every tone slip, and what to practice next.
- Instant Pronunciation Analysis — record a syllable, word, or full sentence and get objective 0–100% scoring on tone accuracy AND pronunciation accuracy, with a syllable-by-syllable pinyin breakdown.
- Tone & Tone-Pair Mastery — Mandarin lives in the transitions. Dedicated tone practice for every tone pair (1-2, 2-3, 3-4, neutral combinations…), not just isolated tones.
- Targeted Initial & Final Correction — the AI isolates whether your b/p, zh/ch/sh, or -ang/-eng/-ong was off, and drills that specific sound until it clicks.
- Arcade Mode — Falling Tones, Tone Sprint, Tone Twins, Tone Rush, Tone Drill. Fast, competitive games that train your ear and mouth at the same time.
- Adaptive Placement Test — a quick assessment picks your real starting level so you don't waste time on what you already know.
- Daily Sessions & Missions — short, focused daily Chinese practice with streaks, energy, and weekly goals.
- Smart Spaced Repetition — the app learns your weak syllables, tones, and tone pairs, and forces you to face them until they're solid.
- Interactive Pinyin Chart — every valid Mandarin pinyin syllable, tappable, in one screen. Drill any cell on demand.
- HSK 1–6 Content Packs — vocabulary and sentences aligned with the HSK levels you actually need.
- Reference Audio — hear the target, then compare it with your own recording.
- Progress You Can Measure — tone accuracy over time, initial/final mastery and a weekly leaderboard.

▶ 7 MORE LANGUAGES
The same coach now covers English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese and Korean: every word scored sound by sound, a 2-minute Speech X-Ray that ranks your weakest sounds, a short daily session, and a sound library with one-tap drills.

▶ WHO THIS APP IS FOR
- Learners stuck at "people understand me, but I sound wrong."
- HSK 1 – HSK 6 students prepping for listening and speaking.
- Self-study learners who want an honest AI Chinese coach, not more flashcards.
- Heritage speakers polishing their Mandarin accent.
- Anyone who's ever been told "your tones are off" and given up guessing why.

▶ WHAT THIS APP IS NOT
❌ Not a vocabulary flashcard app.
❌ Not a grammar course.
❌ Not a toy.
TonePerfect is a dedicated speaking tool. You practice out loud. The AI tells you the truth.

▶ WHY IT WORKS
Most apps grade you on whether a pattern-matcher recognized your word. TonePerfect evaluates three independent channels on 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) — and the tone PAIR, because real Mandarin is transitions.
You see exactly where the error is. You fix that specific layer. You move on.

▶ BUILT FOR DAILY USE
- Streaks, energy, daily missions, and achievements keep you coming back.
- Short sessions (5/10/15 min goals) — pick your pace in onboarding, change it anytime.
- Smart reminders. No spam.
- Sign in with Apple or Google, sync across devices.

▶ PREMIUM
TonePerfect Pro unlocks the AI Voice Call, unlimited daily sessions, the full HSK library, advanced stats, and all arcade modes. The free tier lets you try every core feature before you upgrade.

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

interesting app. little guidance on how to use but as I slowly figure it out I see good potential.That said literally zero customer support. no response to in app questions and no response to messages sent to 4 different emails I was able to find. never experienced anything like this. started responding and apologized. finding more to like. could use a user guide.

Thank you for giving the app another chance. I’m sorry you had to wait for a reply. Your point about clearer guidance is fair, and I appreciate you sharing both the problems and what you find useful.

As much as I want to like this app because the UIUX is quite good, I just can't stand the synthesized audio (Mandarin) that sounds like pre-AI era, open-source speech synthesis. You press "Coach" to hear how to pronounce something and then you are supposed to mimic a robot voice? I've heard lots of AI-speech synthesis and this one uses really low-grade generation, to such a degree I'm not sure it's even a proper AI voice.

Thank you for the honest feedback. You are right to expect a natural voice to imitate, and I have noted that the Coach voice in particular put you off. Improving the reference audio is on our list. I’m glad the rest of the design works for you.
