Speech Recognition Based Reading Assessment

Unique: Provides phoneme-level granularity in pronunciation feedback (e.g., 'your /ð/ is too close to /d/') rather than word-level scoring, enabling learners to target specific articulatory adjustments. Uses acoustic feature extraction (MFCC or neural embeddings) rather than simple waveform matching.

vs others: More detailed than Duolingo's pronunciation scoring (which is word-level and binary) and more accessible than hiring a pronunciation coach, but less nuanced than human ear in detecting subtle accent features
