摘要： A method and apparatus for generating a pronunciation score by receiving a user phrase intended to conform to a reference phrase and processing the user phrase in accordance with at least one of an articulation-scoring engine, a duration scoring engine and an intonation-scoring engine to derive thereby the pronunciation score. The scores provided by the various scoring engines are adapted to provide a visual and/or numerical feedback that provides information pertaining to correctness or incorrectness in one or more speech-features such as intonation, articulation, voicing, phoneme error and relative word duration. Such useful interactive feedback will allow a user to quickly identify the problem area and take remedial action in reciting “tutor” sentences or phrases.
