The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly transformed language learning, particularly in the domain of pronunciation training. This study examines the efficacy of AI-driven voice technologies in enhancing learners’ phonetic competence, emphasizing the integration of automated speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS) systems, and real-time feedback mechanisms.
