Visualise Tones Language Learning App

Backgrounds 

There are many different languages in the world. Often people speak a second language with similar pronunciation to their mother tongue. 

 

Concept 

  • The use of visual language helps people to be able to work on pronunciation effectively. 
  • Visual representation of speech intonation 
  • Design and integration of relevant language exercise platforms 

 

Explanation 

It is difficult to change people’s pronunciation after they already have a unique pronunciation, so they need to learn by comparing their pronunciation with the standard pronunciation, which helps people learning a language to better practice their pronunciation, and to visualise their voice by converting their voice into a visual graphic. 

The product uses touchdesigner software to create sound visualisation effects. The sound is converted into data and then into a real-time image, which is rendered, lit and shaded to create the effect. Then compare the standard pronunciation with the real-time microphone input to get the effect of pronunciation learning.
