The Opportunity

Problem

AI language learning apps fail to understand non-native students' accents and dialects, making practice sessions ineffective.

Solution

DialectBoost is a web tool where you record or upload speech from other apps, and it preprocesses the audio to make it accent-neutral for better transcription. Paste the boosted audio back into Duolingo or similar for perfect recognition. It learns your dialect over uses to improve preprocessing automatically.

Target Audience

Differentiator
