Svenskt Uttal Studio 🇸🇪
An interactive, user-friendly web application designed to help learners intuitively master Swedish pronunciation through realistic human vocal tract cross-sections, karaoke shadowing, multi-dialect audio, and 12 structured practice modules.
✨ Key Features
- 🗣️ Realistic Human Vocal Tract Cross-Section:
- Interactive 2D anatomical model rendering head profile, nasal passages, hard/soft palate (velum/uvula), teeth, lips, vocal cords, pharynx, and tongue muscle contraction.
- Dynamic movement for vowels, retroflex consonants (
RS,RN,RD,RT,RL), soft/hard consonants, and Swedish Sj-sound allophones (Bakre [ɧ] vs Främre [ʂ]).
- 📐 Unified Vowel Quadrangle Matrix:
- Interactive vowel matrix mapping front/back, close/open, and rounded/unrounded vowels (
i, y, e, ö, ä, a, u, o, å). - Unifies directly with vocal tract cross-section animations and lip posture guides.
- 🎙️ Shadowing Studio with Synced Karaoke Subtitles:
- High-precision audio timeline player with real-time word-by-word synchronized glow highlighting.
- Speed selector (0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x).
- Web Audio API MediaRecorder to record shadowing attempts with side-by-side waveform comparison and speech recognition accuracy scoring.
- 🗺️ Global Dialect Audio Engine:
- Central audio dispatch enforcing selected dialect across all audio triggers:
- Stockholm (Rikssvenska): Standard central Swedish with "Lidingö-i".
