Introduction
How It Works
Understand the technology behind Répéter's pronunciation feedback.
Répéter uses cutting-edge speech recognition and text-to-speech technology to help you improve your French pronunciation.
Speech Recognition
Our app uses Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API to analyze your pronunciation. When you record yourself speaking:
- Your audio is captured through your device's microphone
- The audio is sent to Google's speech recognition service
- The service transcribes what you said in French
- We compare the transcription to the target phrase
Text Comparison
After transcription, we use advanced text comparison algorithms to:
- Calculate similarity scores
- Identify specific differences
- Highlight areas for improvement
- Provide actionable feedback
Text-to-Speech
The example pronunciations use Google Cloud Text-to-Speech with native French voices, giving you authentic pronunciation models to learn from.
Privacy & Security
- Audio recordings are processed securely
- No audio is stored permanently
- User data is protected (see Security)
- HTTPS encryption for all communications
Accuracy
The system is highly accurate but not perfect. Factors that affect accuracy:
- Background noise
- Microphone quality
- Speaking clarity
- Regional accents
- Internet connection
For best results, practice in a quiet environment with a good microphone.
