Thanks for the kind words. Difficulty levels have come up a few times so I'll see what I can do.

Please do. There's a flagged issue below where if you send any blank audio, it magics up some phrase that it's been trained on. Am working on a fix, but for now, it should work if you make sure there's audio in every response

Thanks for the comment. Cool - those languages are on the long list so will hopefully be able to add them soon. There's no max to the fluency score, although, in reality, it would probably be very hard to get anything over about 200. T

Thanks for the feedback! Weird that it said you had a 0 fluency score. Had you spoken in that conversation? Being able to interrupt the AI makes a lot of sense. Will add that to the roadmap. Thanks for the kind words. Hope I can make it mor

Thanks - The larger text box has come up a few times so I'll fix that. Good point on not being able to discern between what you said and what the AI said. Will change that when I get a chance. Sure - I'll look into 'hold spac

Glad to hear it! Do you have any preference on traditional Mandarin vs. simplified? It's simplified at the moment. That's weird. Any chance you could ping me an email with the email you're using to sign up and I'll work

It 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

Glad to hear it! Sort of. It will try to understand you even if you get the grammar wrong (a bit like a human would), but if it really has no clue what you're trying to say, it will ask you to repeat. I think it's best that way as

Agreed. There's a huge chasm between being able to read/write and being able to speak. Speaking is just more fun as well imo. I'll have a think about ways that it could provide some qualitative feedback. Thanks again

Thanks for giving me the device. I did have some trouble getting it working on iOS so maybe I didn't iron out all the bugs. I'll get working on a fix. I think we're already emailing so I can add that email to the mailing list

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah - it does seem to have hallucinated a little tonight. It normally happens when I time the microphone wrong and send some blank audio, then it seems to want to magic up some sort of phrase from nowhere. Am worki

Aha thanks man. Yeah - agreed that there's lots of work to be done on the speech. Makes sense - getting from 0 to 1 can be a bit of a struggle with this method, so could be good to find some ways to make that easier.

Thanks! Speech-to-text is Whisper API, although that seems to have caused a couple of errors tonight so am considering moving away from it. Will have to have a think and do a lot of testing. I feel your pain, I've also been a stutterin

Thanks! Once you hit the conversation limit (15 per month) it will automatically take you to the upgrade page. If you really fancy paying, feel free to mash the start conversation button aha. Otherwise, you can just enjoy the free convos fo

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the beginner, intermediate, advanced point has come up so I'll look at adding something like that. Just to check that I understand, do you mean changing the text manually when it gets it wrong? If so, sure

Thanks for the feedback. The number of unique words you use and the rate at which you speak contribute to the fluency score. I'm a little reluctant to give the full equation, because it prevents us from trying to game it. That's u

Good question. I looked through literature to see whether anyone had come up with any good ways of measuring fluency, and there are a couple out there. The key indicators that kept coming up were the number of unique words used and the spee

Thanks - glad it's useful for your Japanese. Do you like it being in the Japanese writing system or would you prefer phoenetical English? Wasn't sure which to do on that one. Thanks for the feedback. The processing point has come
