I m Levin Dong, working on Parle at Tingnova Inc. While building it, I kept running into a product-language problem: feedback is often treated as one thing, even though apps may be showing very different signals.
Here is the distinction I now use:
1. Recording and replay preserves what the learner said so they can listen again.
2. Speech-recognition word detection reports which words a recognizer detected.
Parle is a pronunciation-first iPhone and iPad course for English-speaking beginners. Practise 35 French sounds with IPA, reviewed model audio, and mouth cues, then move through 120 ordered A0-A2 speaking missions using Hear–Shape–Say–Use, recording, role-play, Phrase Match word detection, and optional AI Coach Léo. Phrase Match is not a pronunciation or accent score. Start with free practice; optional Premium access unlocks more guided learning.
