PronunLab
Research prototype
The research companion to PronunCo, investigating affordable pronunciation assessment with compact local models. Its work covers datasets, scoring, and evaluation before making claims about real learners.
Local scoring
Compact models explore how pronunciation assessment could run with fewer computing resources.
Data and evaluation
Synthetic speech spanning accents supports early experiments and comparison of scoring approaches.
Transfer to real learners
An open research question is whether results from synthetic examples carry over to real learner recordings. Prototype results do not establish that transfer.
Where it stands
PronunLab is a research prototype. Evaluation on real learner speech remains an open part of the work.
