Real outcomes
It's not the tree.
It's the grade.
Linguistics students lose points for one missing IPA diacritic, a syntax tree that fails to handle movement, or a phonology derivation that ignored an underlying form. AskSia catches what your TA catches.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For Phonology I dropped my data sets into AskSia and got natural class analyses walked through. The visual map of distinctive features made underlying versus surface forms clear.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The flashcards AskSia built for IPA practice covered every place and manner of articulation. Spaced repetition meant transcription quizzes stopped being a guessing game.
