Additional data points. Now Google also knows your vocal profile and any subtle stress factors -- or lack thereof -- emerging in the context of each topic/theme used in your practicing, as well as your proficiency level and your learning rate. Not bad.

And what's the commercial application of all this stressed syllable data?

    But you're already logged in, and if you're not well that defeats the purpose.

      Targeted ads like the other guy said, and I also want to say specifically that that is useful to Google both for users who are signed out, and users who have separate personal accounts on their different devices, and also useful because they can figure out the same person using a device and account issued from their work and using a personal account on their personal device is the same person. For example at my job we have a work-issued Google account that I use on the work laptop for their Gmail and Google Calendar. And on my phone I am signed in to Google with my personal account because I use YouTube on my phone.

        This seems farfetched, I mean if you're teaching non English speakers to enunciate correctly then their speech patterns are changing over time and you're left chasing a moving target. There are probably better ways to target ads.

  The obvious application would be better tricking John Connor on the phone :) https://youtu.be/MT_u9Rurrqg?si=xCEHZhDyGxucmXtW https://youtu.be/MT_u9Rurrqg?si=xCEHZhDyGxucmXtW

That’s a bit too cynical. I agree the nefarious data guzzler of an ad machine is siphoning up that voice data but hey if that’s all they wanted they had Google Fi/Voice etc. This definitely seems like a Google building products people will love. Let’s just hope they don’t kill it in 2 days/weeks/months/years
