They will have microphones, but I need to find effective software. I am open to different options here. It would be fine if the software translated the word into English (since a user trying to say the word for "cat" will know the pronunciation was wrong if another word is given as translation). It would also be fine if the software just indicated whether the pronunciation was acceptable. This kind of software seems readily available for other languages, but I can't find anything for Mandarin. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help.
