At last after some really exciting work with Macmillan, the Sounds App! Based around the familiar Sound Foundations chart….
All power to individual learners, their colleagues and their teachers!
For Apple iPhone, iPad and Andoid devices.
This is a totally portable pronunciation development tool
Developing it has been a very interesting challenge for me, to be part of a team working on what apps can do and how to get the best from them, and on what pronunciation is about and what leaners need, AND then putting all this together in a highly compact and succinct form.
So, what do you get?
You get a nice looking pron chart. It really does look good, though I say so myself, and it’s asking to be tapped!

Hi Willingtohave,
We’re looking to have the Premium version ready for around the beginning of June, for both Apple and Android devices. At the moment we have the Free version available for both.
You can sign-up to get an email when we release new versions if you’d like at http://www.soundspronapp.com.
Cheers,
Matt
Awesome app! BTW, when are we getting an article or chapter exploring the American English chart and its differences? I’m looking forward to it!
Yes, good question Bruno! Thanks for the prompt. I’ll try and speed that up a bit!
