How does AI speech recognition work? How will I be posting?

Just before you start, I want to quickly explain how i will be posting & AI speech recognition system.

1. I will be trying to write how it really sounds.

For example, character ㄱ can be either  K or G.

To pronounce it more fluently, it is better to use G sound in which I will be using through out my post. 

Interesting to note, reason why K sounds exist is that even though Korean speakers would say 구(Goo), non-Korean speakers would hear Goo or Koo ! I do really see why K sound can be heard. 

 But like I mentioned previously, I want you to sound more like Korean native, so I will be only using the G sound using the example above.

You are NOT wrong hearing different consonants compared to what is written !



2. Using A.I speech recognition as a guide line

Google is providing in development A.I for people to use. Since it is in development, it is not perfect but I have found that it does quite a great job.

I can definitely make every recognition page better but for the sake of constantly posting, I will leave it as it is. It will show you the results in the decimal points. 0.9 would be 90%.

I would highly recommend you to use speech recognition in the most quietest place possible.

The recognition bar would fluctuate constantly as it picks up every single sound through the mic.

This is why I would ask you to use this as a guide line only. Just because the A.I doesn't pick up, it does not always mean you have pronounced differently. 

If you are using this as a guide line, you can interpret the result like this.

After speaking a word, give it about 1 second for the A.I to recognize. The result will print out in decimal points for short period amount of time.

Bar %

0 ~ 0.4 (0~ 40%) -> Definitely try again speaking few times as the noise around you may have affected the recognition. If not, return to the lesson to see which part you may sound different.

0.41~0.7 (41 ~ 70%) -> Also try again speaking to see if it improves. If not, you are very close to sound like a native ! Maybe you are pronouncing as K instead of G like #1 example !

0.71~1.0 (71~100%) -> At this point, you are most likely to sound near perfect or perfect ! As the A.I is in development, there will be some margin of error. Great job and move on to the next lesson !

Lesson 8: ㅇ (Ieung)

 Good day everyone !  Let's go straight into our eighth consonant ㅇ(Ieung). This lesson is a special one ! You will see why very soon 😁 Let's try to pronounce Ieung ㅇ. As you probably know by know, "i" will be pronounced as "ee." How was it? Was it easier or harder than you imagined? To pronounce ㅇ(Ieung), The word is divided to two syllables I-eung. When it has "I", you pronounce this with "ee". As for the "eung," that "u" is not normally pronounced and it is closer to "enng" sound. So it will be pronounced like "EE-ENNG."  Try to listen to the clip above again to see how "I" and "Eung" is pronounced ! Let's practice with an activity ㅇ(Ieung)  (New page will open) And remember how I mentioned that this is a special lesson? well, consonant ㅇ does not have a sound without a vowel !! I find this very interesting actually... With the vowels, it can be pronounced like "ah&q

Lesson 3: ㄷ (Digeut)

Hi Welcome Back ! 👍 Let's get straight into our third consonant ㄷ. It is written as Digeut. Try to pronounce them ! (It is actually easier to pronounce than it looks) It sounds very similar to "Dig it" but less the "it" sound. For some of you, this might be easier than our first two consonants ㄱ & ㄴ.  How does ㄷ sound in Korean words? ㄷ is similar to "D" sound.  You can practice ㄷ by pronouncing the word "the"  Let's try with the activity ! You can try "Digeut" & "D" sound. ㄷ (디귿/Digeut)  (New page will open) How did you do? Was it easier than ㄱ & ㄴ? or was it more difficult? Do share your thoughts and as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out :) On our next lesson, we will be learning our fourth consonant ㄹ. Have a great day everyone 🙇

Lesson 6: ㅂ (Bieup)

 How is it going? 😎 Welcome back to Neat Korean ! Let's start with our sixth consonant ㅂ (Bieup) As always, let's try to pronounce ㅂ (Bieup). Hint: "Bi" will be pronounced as "bee" Did you pronounce it correctly? How do we pronounce Bieup? We will separate this word into two syllables Bi-eup.  "Bi" is pronounced similar to "Bee."   "Eup" can be slightly confusing. This is not pronounced with the "U" sound. Think of how you would pronounce the "ip" from the word" lip." You will notice how your lips closes to make that "ip" sound. With this in mind, "eup" is pronounced more like "eip" as you can hear it from the audio clip above.  So Bieup is pronounced more like Bee-Eip. Are you able to pronounce Bieup? Let me know in the comments. How does ㅂ sound in Korean words? well it is "B" sound. Think of the word "Brother." Before you pronounce the "roth
