Plastic Cantonese
isn’t because you didn’t try hard enough.

What’s missing is millisecond correction, not another culture class. Jyutone traces the pitch of all nine tones. Speak 10–30 minutes a day and lock in the sounds and the tones.

Core · Correction

Say it right — not just say it.

Shadow a Cantonese line and AI scores every syllable: pronunciation, tone, completeness, and fluency, plus which character and which tone missed. Cantonese tones are hard to self-check. Here you see them syllable by syllable.

  • Pitch traces for all nine tones
  • Millisecond acoustic diagnosis
  • Pinpoints the character and the tone

Nine tones · pitch reference

si1 high level
si2 high rising
si3 mid level
si4 low falling
si5 low rising
si6 low level

Core · Speaking practice

10–30 minutes a day builds muscle memory.

No history lecture, no cultural baggage. The loop is short: listen → shadow → record → review. A couple thousand everyday words, said and toned right, and the fear of opening your mouth drops.

  • Short, frequent sessions that fit a workday
  • A clear “today” practice you can stick with
  • Culture comes from conversation — get the sound first

Core · Feedback

Every recording has a next step you can take.

Beyond a score, you get specifics: which tone sat low, where you dragged, read it slowly three more times. Feedback is for the next attempt, not a cold number.

  • Tone contrast at a glance
  • Actionable next hints
  • Offline preview + API-ready engine

Sample feedback

Total 82 · tone weakens at the end

唔 / 该 — pronunciation steady
!晒 saai3 — 3rd tone is low; don’t drag it

Why Jyutone

Versus a traditional Cantonese course

What’s missing isn’t a textbook. It’s speaking feedback you can use immediately, and a practice rhythm that isn’t afraid of mistakes.

Traditional class / textbook

  • History and culture first — the bar rises before you speak
  • Standard written Cantonese, still “plastic” when you talk
  • You finish a line and nobody names the wrong tone
  • Fixed class times — one busy week and it breaks

Jyutone

  • Straight to sound and tone — speaking is communication
  • Tracks all nine tones; you train muscle memory
  • Syllable-level correction; you know which tone missed
  • 10–30 minutes a day, whenever you can

Start speaking. Get the tones right first.
