I love the idea, and just had a successful conversation with it for a few minutes in Portuguese. Nice work!
For me in that language I need to work on understanding native speakers, so currently it speaks too slowly for what I personally need (it's too "easy"). I did ask it twice to speed up but it didn't seem able to - I guess it's hardcoded in your text-to-speech code? Is that something you can add an option for?
- cwbuilds 3y agoAwesome! Yes, it's hard-coded to basically be in 'beginner' mode at the moment, but I was considering allowing the user to select intermediate or advanced, which it sounds like would be more useful for you. Thanks for the feedback!
- da39a3ee 3y agoI would love to try it on advanced if you get time to do that. I honestly think I'd use it a lot. If adding it to the UI takes time I'd be absolutely happy with a URL query parameter prettypolly.app?level=advanced if that's easier.
- cwbuilds 3y agoIt probs wouldn't take much longer to just add a slider or something too. If you don't mind me asking, what are you planning to use it for? Interested to hear some advanced use cases
- da39a3ee 3y agoGreat. Oh, I'm just aiming to get much better fluency and ability to understand native speakers in real-life contexts. I've had basic bad foreigner level for a while now.
