Speech Development App

Speech Development App is an app that is aimed to help people get better in their American English. The app outputs the pronunciation of a word through the help of the smartphone's text to speech engine, and then takes input from the user through the use of the smartphone's speech to text feature. The app will then check if the user's input will match the word or phrase that the user needs to pronounce. If the user's input matches, then the user will get a "star" as a sign of the user's ability to pronounce the word or phrase shown to him/her.

Note:

- Having Google text to speech engine gives the best result for American English pronunciation. Therefore, it might be best to download it.

- If the phone does not have its own speech to text, then internet is required to run the speechrecognition feature.

- On slower phones, the initialization of the Text to Speech feature might take some time for the first use on each lesson. Therefore, some patience will be required.

Permissions:

- The app needs internet for smartphones that don't have speechrecognition installed.

- The app needs record audio permission to use the microphone for speechrecognition.

- The app needs external storage write permission to record user's progress.
