Juna brings on-demand pronunciation and phonics expertise to ELL teachers and students.
We are your best choice for the following reasons:
1. Price - at $5 per month / year per account, we offer Juna at a substantial discount compared to similar services.
2. Convenience - as a comprehensive pronunciation solution, Juna combines a lot of relevant technologies and makes them easy to navigate, saving teachers a lot of time. In the current ESL classroom, a teacher might have one tab open for a dictionary, one tab open for an LMS tool they built to model certain sounds / words, a lesson-based pronunciation module that is part of a larger program, all of which is competing with other aspects of language learning, such as vocab, grammar, listening comprehension, etc. As a stand-alone product, we have not seen another service that combines the myriad demands of pronunciation as simply and effectively as Juna. If there is, we would love to learn about it!
3. Unique content - Juna has a number of product features you won't find elsewhere, like our custom animations showing how sounds are made inside the mouth, natural-sounding practice sentences that are designed to isolate target sounds, and custom voice-to-text feedback that is designed to encourage learners instead of punish them. To dive a little deeper into this particular choice, other tools often put a score that says "you got this word 58% right" but we think that is somewhat arbitrary, and furthermore, how to respond to a given speech error is a complex judgement best left to the teacher. In Juna, we have loosened the threshold for recognition in standard voice-to-text, and opted for a simple red / green response that indicates general confidence from the AI about whether or not the uttered word is intelligible.
