Speech scoring
See a score for each word you say
Speech scoring in AnyAccent gives a score to each word you read aloud. You pick a language and an accent, read a line, and every word comes back with its own score. The detail of the feedback depends on the scoring language.
How does speech scoring work?
- Pick the language and the accent that you want to sound like.
- Read a line aloud: a line from a course lesson, a practice sentence, or your own text.
- See a score for each word and for the whole line. Words with a low score are the ones to practice again.
- Listen to the AI reference voice, then record the line again.
Which feedback do you get in each language?
33 of the 34 accents have speech scoring. The feedback has three levels.
Word, sentence and sound-level feedback

Word and sentence feedback with initials and finals
Each word gets a score, and you see feedback on the Mandarin initials and finals. Prosody scoring is not available. Available for: Mandarin (Standard).

No speech scoring yet: Turkish (Standard). You can still use the course and AI chat in this language.
Scores follow the accent you pick
The score compares your speech with the accent that you picked, for example American or British English. It does not guess your native language or your own accent. When two accents pronounce a word differently, the same recording can get a different score for that word in each accent. You can switch accents at any time.

Is the reference voice a real person?
