Could you build this?
Partial Fetching YouTube transcripts and playing video segments is simple, but real-time phoneme-level pronunciation and rhythm analysis requires specialized speech assessment models.
What it would actually take: The app needs a speech evaluation pipeline utilizing forced-alignment speech recognition (like Kaldi, Montreal Forced Aligner, or Azure Pronunciation Assessment API) capable of scoring phonemes, intonation, and rhythm against reference audio, coupled with a frontend audio recording and waveform comparison interface.
