Sound Native Accent Reduction

About this app

⏺ Stop guessing how your accent sounds. Sound Native shows you. Most pronunciation apps tell you to "listen and repeat." Sound Native goes further — it shows your vowel sounds as live data, gives you anatomically-grounded muscle exercises, and builds a personalized training plan based on what you actually get wrong. THE VOWEL ANALYZER The core of the app is a real-time formant analyzer. Speak or hold a vowel — the app plots where your sound lands in the English vowel space (F1 × F2 coordinates) and shows how close you are to the target. You see exactly whether your /æ/ is too far back or your /ɪ/ is too tense. No other accent app shows you this 15+ PRONUNCIATION DRILL • TH Drill — record /θ/ and /ð/ for each word, replay your voice, and decide yourself if it sounded right — builds your own ear rather than relying on imperfect automated detection • Stress Trainer — compare your pitch curve to a native speaker syllable-by-syllable • Connected Speech — hear the natural keyword in isolation first (gonna, wanna, T-flap), then in a full sentence, then record yourself • Schwa & Weak Forms — train the unstressed syllable reductions that make speech sound natural • Word Stress — noun/verb pairs like PREsent vs. preSENT with automatic peak detection • Intonation Trainer — overlay your pitch on a native speaker's curve • Shadowing — hear a phrase, record yourself, compare side by side • Reading Aloud — read Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced passages; records up to 60 seconds so you can capture a full passage in one take • Listening Test — sharpen minimal-pair discrimination (ship vs. sheep, right vs. light) • Challenge Mode — hit 10 vowels before the timer runs out • Vowel Pairs & Consonant Pairs — focused minimal-pair drilling with live voice analysis PHYSICAL MOUTH TRAINING 19 muscle exercises for Lips, Jaw, and Tongue — each showing exactly which muscles it targets (orbicularis oris, masseter, genioglossus, styloglossus, and more). Animated mouth diagrams guide each movement. Run a 10-minute Quick session, a Full session, or pick a Custom set. This is the part most learners skip — and it's why their accent doesn't change ACCENT DIAGNOSTIC Not sure where to start? The Accent Diagnostic plays 10 words and asks you to identify each one — testing your ability to hear vowels, consonants, TH sounds, and connected speech reductions. It takes 2 minutes and tells you exactly where your ear (and mouth) needs the most work. SMART QUEUE Sound Native tracks your accuracy across every drill and builds a ranked training queue: sounds below 70% go to Priority, improving sounds go to Keep Practicing, and untried drills appear under Explore. Your practice list updates every session automatically RECORDINGS LIBRARY Save your best takes from any drill. Play them back anytime to hear your own progress. Comparing yourself from week 1 to week 4 is one of the most motivating things in accent work. PROGRESS & STREAKS Track your daily streak, per-vowel accuracy trends, consonant category scores, challenge scores, and 28-day activity calendar — all in the Progress tab. Everything is logged automatically. BUILT FOR YOUR LANGUAGE Set your native language (Russian, Spanish, Mandarin, or Other) and the app shows targeted tips next to each vowel — based on known interference patterns between your L1 and English. Russian speakers get different guidance than Spanish speakers. FREE VS.
