English Pronunciation Quality Evaluation System Based on Continuous Speech Recognition Technology for Multi-Terminal

This paper presents a novel approach for evaluating the pronunciation quality of English speech using continuous speech recognition technology. The research focuses on the application of artificial intelligence in speech recognition, utilizing web browsers on various terminal devices such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets to allow users to read the provided text aloud. The web program captures audio input from the microphone, records it in MP3 format, and uploads it to the server. The server employs the Whisper model to transcribe the audio into semantic text, which is then compared with the displayed text. By calculating the semantic distance and assessing the accuracy of pronunciation, the system provides an evaluation of pronunciation quality, marking correct and incorrect words. To achieve real-time processing, the compact tiny model is employed, and further optimization is performed using Ctranslate 2, resulting in significant performance improvements.
