WaveNative is a single-page web application that visualizes English words pronunced by native speakers.
The user is prompted to record their own attempts at pronunciation and may register a username in order to keep a record of words they frequently query.

• React
• WaveSurfer.js (libary for sound visualizations)

• gunicorn
• Flask
• PostgreSQL

• Heroku

• Merriam-Webster for native English audio recordings

• Integrate better work-arounds/fallbacks for browsers that do not support the MediaRecorder API being used for audio recording.
  (Currently only Chrome and Firefox allow user recording)
• Implement service workers to make the app more accessible for users with poor Internet connectivity (that is, more progressive)
• Leverage Python ecosystem to provide richer quantitative feedback for the user to assess their progress in word pronunciation
