A computer-assisted language training system, focusing on speech input and output, is described. The system is intended to help students of foreign languages (typically Japanese or English) to improve their pronunciation, with an emphasis on the prosodic features of speech.

The system is implemented on a Unix PC, with studio I/O capability, in a window environment.
