Announcing Emurse: The Japanese Speech Feedback App!

Good afternoon Patrons!

I'm excited to announce the pre-launch of Emurse, a Japanese pitch-accent and pronunciation feedback app!

About a month ago, we introduced Emurse in beta to our $15 Patron tier, and since then, we've implemented your feedback and expanded the term lists. Now, we're just a few days away—approximately four to five—from the official release!

Before the public launch, I wanted to share this announcement with all of you here on Patreon and express my gratitude for your support by offering an exclusive Patron-only discount code (available at the end of this post).

Main Emurse features:

• Easily compare your pitch accent, pronunciation, and rhythm to a native's using real-time recordings and spectrographs

• Anki-style spaced repetition for not just pitch accent, but also meaning and reading of over 1,000 vocab words

• Separate vocab decks for nouns, verbs, counters, adjectives, phrases, and more

• A stand-alone pitch and waveform recorder for quickly testing the pitch for any word or phrase

• Tools for analyzing the pitch and waveform of user-uploaded pre-recorded files

• Easy to use interface and course materials organized around Japanese Phonetics on Patreon

These are just some of the features in Emurse—please see the above video for a more detailed breakdown of the app, or click here to try the introduction lesson for free.
