Absolutely outstanding. Small request: for japaneese, it would be great to include a japaneese phonetic transcription of the text in western alphabet. It would help distinguish words and make it easier to learn new vocabulary..

another small feedback, would be good to be able to tune the speaking rate, the default speed is pretty fast

  there's a snail icon you can use to have it speak slowly

  There's a "snail" icon in the text bubble that pronounces it again, but slower. At least for me, in Firefox.

This! I could really use more info. A phonetic transliteration for all languages (esp Mandarin and Japanese...) as well as a sort of "bouncing ball" indicating what word is being said. This is _so cool_ for an MVP. Perhaps in the beginning, it could even accept English speech and reply in the language of choice -- it's easier to build recognition first. On the whole, fantastic work. I'm curious about the audio processing backend, (and if you could use some help in that area ;-).

  Thank you very much! We also think about implementing a phonetic tranliteration. This could be especially helpful for unrelated (to mother tongue) languages.
