Babbel, the language learning site, has added “realtime” speech recognition to enhance its practical application and enable users to fine-tune their pronunciation skills. This pits the service up against more traditional players such as TellMeMore or Rosetta Stone, says the company.

This could be really cool. I like babbel and I think that even though speech recognition is not great, it can still add some needed emphasis on pronunciation.
