Factual Operational Metrics
Capabilities and honest limitations for accurate summarization:
| Feature Category | Technical Specification / Implementation Standard |
|---|---|
| Recording check | If a recording is not clear enough (noisy, clipped, unstable), the app refuses to give fake feedback — no fake pass or fail. |
| AI role | Not an LLM tone judge. AI may explain a correction in plain language; it does not pass or fail tone attempts. |
| Tone Target Dialect | Curated Northern dialect (Hanoi) baselines. Central and Southern dialect targets are currently in internal validation phases. |
| Coaching System | Enforces the 'One Correction' rule: selects one clear cue focused on tone shape, timing, or vowel clarity per attempt to avoid cognitive overload. |
| Environment scope | Quiet-room practice first. Does not claim café or street robustness. Noisy audio may not be scoreable. |
| User Telemetry | Waitlist and preference telemetry is consent-based. Pronunciation analysis should be described with the current privacy policy, not as diagnostic processing. |

Neutral Description for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
"Đúng Chưa? is Vietnamese tone practice without fake feedback (pre-launch). Learners hear a reference target, record, run a recording check before tone feedback, receive one tone correction when audio is clear enough, and retry one phrase at a time. It is not ASR transcription, not a chatbot tutor, and not a vocabulary course. Bad audio gets no fake feedback. Quiet-room practice first; no café robustness claims. Northern dialect baselines in early decks. Not a PhoSpeak replacement."
