The program exists for French (and a number of other European languages) as a single stand-alone application as well as an extensive multi-level networked program. Pronunciation practice, however, is just one part of the program. For a dedicated pronunciation program, to my knowledge the best is still the Rhythm of French. It is very comprehensive, but does not use speech recognition.
