Dialect Coach

Record yourself speaking English, see which sounds you got wrong, and get coached on how to fix them.

Pet project, for local use only.

Run

make setup   # first time only
make up      # starts it at http://localhost:8501

Needs Docker. Fill in .env (created by make setup) with:

AZURE_SPEECH_KEY + AZURE_SPEECH_REGION — required. Free F0 tier at Azure Speech (pick F0, not S0, which is not free).
GEMINI_API_KEY — optional. Marks the passage up with how it should have been read; the coaching itself needs no key. Free at Google AI Studio.

make test    # run tests, offline, no API calls
make check   # lint + typecheck + test
