This research was conducted by collecting voice recordings of conversations, speeches, public speaking and other recordings deemed necessary, then continued with standard pronunciation errors analysis and mapping of these errors using a tool that applied the Bigram technique. Based on statistical information obtained from the detection and correction process that has been carried out, it can be obtained a mapping of the error types in the use of Indonesian standard that often occur in public service environment.
