Well done ! It has a very good intuitive UI to process each word.

My parents who are not native English speakers would love something like this in their native language Hindi.

It would be nice to have been able to select a full sentence and see how people would say it. I understand that right now you are getting this read on a word by word basis.

The word "bickering" did not trigger any voice so I am assuming this is one rough edge to look into.

My dad just ordered a $150 (Indian rupee equivalent) book from a local company when things like this would make the learning so much simpler.

I am going to send this to my parents and see what they say.

Thank you for doing this project.

Thanks for trying it! Hindi is on my list for languages to add.

It looks like there is no recording for the word "bickering" yet. There are around 15,000 audio recordings -- some from Wiktionary and some recorded by myself working off a word frequency list. But, since English has so many morphological forms ("bickering", "bickered", "bickers", etc.) it's hard to get full coverage.
