Does anybody know this website?

I am asking this for a netter. Following is his/her original post:

==================

I STUMBLED ACROSS A WEB SITE THAT AMONG OTHER THINGS GAVE A VISUAL/GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE INITIALS AND THEN ALLOWED ME TO RECORD MY VOICE AND HAVE IT DISPLAYED SUPERIMPOSED ONE THE ORGINAL.

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS SITE AGAIN.

IF ANYONE KNOWS OF THIS OR ANOTHER SIMILAR SITE, I WOULD BE GRATEFUL. I REALLY WANT TO DO MY BEST TO LEARN HOW TO PRONOUNCE CHINESE PROPERLY.

==================

Please help. Thanks.

Welcome back, Haizi.

I can’t think of any website like that, and it seems unlikely – you would have to record the sound on your computer and then upload it. Not impossible, but troublesome. CD-rom courses will let you do that, but I don’t know of any website.

I think in theory such a website is possible. If one can make an applet that does the recording and sending the sound clip back to the server in the background, then we can have features like what the guy have described. And I know this won't be an easy programming task.

Have you seen the puzzle section I newly added to my website? What do you think of it? Is playing the puzzle equally effective but more interesting in comparison with using flashcards?

I've been thinking along those lines, to improve my tones. It happened too frequently that I built up for example a tone 2 rather from my shoes and up, and my indigenous tongxue told me, "No, not 4."

It doesn't have to be automatic in any way, just let me have a pre-recorded sentence or even syllable Fourier analyzed to get the formants, and then do the same thing for my recorded speech, and display both sets of curves. Side by side would be OK, superimposed of course even better.
