EyeSpeak Student Manual:

Introduction:
English language pronunciation learning is a very individual experience for students from different cultures and different levels of ability.
When it comes to computer assisted language learning, one size definitely doesn’t fit all. Many speech recognition language learning systems lead to frustration and defeat as students try to match their pronunciation to samples recorded by speakers of different gender or age.

The creators of EyeSpeak have taken a new approach that provides visual feedback on how each student compares with English native speakers of their choice. This gives a choice of male or female speakers, various speech styles, and a range of accents to ensure the learning experience is relevant to individual students.

Problems with individual sounds, especially those that are known to cause difficulties for speakers of particular languages, are identified. Immediate feedback shows the extent of confusion between similar sounds, and gives succinct, practical advice on how to improve.
