Five: mid, low, falling, high, and rising. The classic example is the kha set: kha stuck (mid), kha galangal (low), kha value (falling), kha to trade (high), kha leg (rising). One syllable, five different words. ### Do I need to know Thai to use Thai Tone Trainer? No. The app starts from zero: it teaches the five tones on 15 syllables with Thai script, romanisation, and English glosses. You need no Thai at all, just a microphone and a willingness to say kha five different ways. ### Why do I have to calibrate my voice range first? Thai tones differ by pitch LEVEL as well as shape. Mid sits in the middle, high climbs to the top, low falls to the bottom. Calibration slides from your lowest to your highest comfortable note so the app knows where your middle, top and bottom are. Without it, a flat tone at any height could be any tone. ### Does the app judge my accent or how high my voice is? Neither. It judges your pitch against the target tone's level and shape, measured inside your own calibrated range. A low voice and a high voice are graded the same way, because every utterance is measured against the range you calibrated. ### What is the difference between high and rising? Both end high. The difference is the start: high rises straight from the middle, rising dips down low first and then climbs. If you dip before you climb, it reads as rising; if you rise straight, it reads as high. ### What is the difference between mid and low? Mid stays flat in the middle of your range. Low starts low-mid and falls all the way to the bottom, and stays down. If your tone drifts downward at the end, it reads as low. ### Does the tone mark alone tell me the tone? No. A Thai syllable's tone comes from its consonant class, its syllable type (live or dead), and its tone mark combined. Mai ek gives a falling tone on a low-class consonant but a low tone on a mid-class consonant. The app grades your pitch contour only; it does not check spelling or tone rules. ### Does the app record my voice? No. Voice frames are analysed on your device and discarded immediately. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or shared, and the page security policy blocks connections to every outside server. The Offline proof panel shows the live request log to prove it. ### Does it work offline? Yes, after your first visit. The app and all the lessons are saved on your device, so it works with no network at all. There is no model to download: pitch detection is pure signal processing that ships with the app. ### How do points, levels and badges work? Each matched tone is +10 points, and a perfect quiz round adds +20. Levels are New Voice, Tone Learner, Tone Star, and Master of Thai Tones. Tone pairs unlock at 50 points. Badges cover the first match, all 15 syllables, all 12 tone pairs, a perfect round, and a 7-day streak. ### Can I delete my progress? Yes.
