Mandarin pronunciation checker. Record yourself and AI rates tones, initials, finals, and rhythm.
Select the AI model for audio analysis. Different models may have different capabilities.
Record audio directly from your microphone
To check your Mandarin pronunciation, record yourself speaking and upload it: the AI scores you out of 10 with the tones front and center, assessing your accuracy on all four tones plus the neutral tone with concrete examples of where each succeeded or failed. Tones are the make-or-break layer of Mandarin (the same syllable means mother, hemp, horse, or scold depending on contour), so this is where most feedback focuses. Beyond tones it evaluates the difficult initials (zh, ch, sh, r, j, q, x, the two consonant series English speakers blur together) and finals (ü, eng versus en, in versus ing), plus tone sandhi, the rules that change tones in context: how third tones shift before other third tones and how yi and bu change tone depending on what follows. Rhythm and pacing round it out, followed by three direct drills for the week.
Record yourself speaking Mandarin (read sentences plus some free speech) and upload it. The AI scores overall pronunciation, then breaks down tones first: first tone held high and level, second rising cleanly, third dipping (and correctly reduced in connected speech), fourth falling sharply, neutral staying light, with examples quoted from your own audio. Initial analysis distinguishes the retroflex series (zh, ch, sh, r, with the tongue curled back) from the palatal series (j, q, x), the contrast English speakers most often collapse. Final analysis tests ü against u, eng against en, and in against ing. Sandhi analysis checks whether your third tones change before other third tones and whether yi and bu shift correctly in context, the rules that separate textbook syllables from natural speech. Pacing assessment covers flow and syllable evenness. Three weekly drills target your specific weak points.
Record yourself speaking Mandarin and the checker scores you out of 10 with tones graded first: accuracy on all four tones plus the neutral tone, with examples pulled from your own clip. It then covers the difficult initials and finals, tone sandhi, and pacing, and assigns three drills for the week.
Yes, tone by tone. Typical findings: a second tone that does not rise far enough, a third tone fully dipped in connected speech where natives reduce it, a fourth tone too gentle to register as falling. Each problem gets tied to actual words from your recording, which beats abstract tone-pair charts for knowing what to fix.
It does: consecutive third tones, plus yi and bu changing tone by context. Sandhi is where textbook-correct learners get exposed, because pronouncing every syllable with its dictionary citation tone sounds robotic in real sentences even when each tone is individually accurate.
Both consonant series are scored separately, because most English speakers blur the tongue-curled retroflex set and the palatal set into one comfortable middle sound. The finals get checked too, especially ü against u and the n versus ng endings, where a small slip quietly swaps one word for another.
Tone contours on clear solo speech are well within what audio analysis reads reliably, so the tone feedback is the strongest part. The limits: background noise blurs contours, very fast speech is harder to segment, and one clip samples your speech rather than your knowledge. Score the same sentences weekly for a fair progress line.
Yes, differently. Heritage speakers usually have natural sandhi and rhythm but fossilized tone swaps or regionally influenced initials (sh drifting toward s, for instance), and the per-tone, per-sound breakdown surfaces exactly those, which classroom feedback aimed at beginners tends to miss. Mention your family's region in the notes for sharper context.
