Your name – To make the learning journey more personal. Your motivation – Whether it’s for work, social confidence, or fluency improvement. Your fluency level – To tailor lessons to your current skill. Your native language – To focus on pronunciation challenges specific to your background. Beyond pronunciation—what else do you want to improve? – Vocabulary expansion, listening comprehension , etc. Daily practice reminders – A small habit makes a big difference!

Once you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to take your first SpeechScan assessment.
SpeechScan: Pinpointing Your Pronunciation Challenges Before assigning lessons, BoldVoice needs to analyze your speech to identify your strengths and weaknesses. This is done through SpeechScan, an AI-powered pronunciation assessment.
How It Works
You’ll be asked to read aloud a series of sentences, which are designed to test various sounds in American English . The AI listens, evaluates your pronunciation, and provides detailed feedback.
What You’ll Learn from SpeechScan
At the end of the assessment, you’ll see a breakdown of your pronunciation:
Overall Level – Your pronunciation score based on clarity and accuracy. Good Sounds – The sounds you already pronounce well. Focus Sounds – The sounds that need improvement. These results form the foundation of your personalized learning path . Your daily lessons will target your focus sounds, ensuring steady progress over time.
Pro Tip: Since pronunciation is a muscle memory skill, consistent practice will refine even the toughest sounds!
