RhinoSpike
Custom Native Audio
RhinoSpike is a community site where you post Vietnamese text and native speakers record it for you. It is best for learners who want real voices for sentences, dialogs, word lists, or tone practice, rather than a structured course.
You create an Audio Request, add any notes you want (like speed or what you are practicing), and wait for volunteers to record it. You can also browse existing Vietnamese recordings and use them as extra listening material.
Listening on the site is free. If you want to download audio files for offline use, you unlock recordings with credits. You earn credits by contributing (recording for others or transcribing), or you can buy credits or a subscription via your account. The biggest downside is that response times and coverage depend on how active the Vietnamese community is, so you may need patience and flexibility.
