Y'all cannot imagine how much feedback I recorded from this thread now. Our backlog just grew A LOT haha.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

Yeah, we should make it clearer that the web app is not supported on mobile devices. You can get the app and then it should work way smoother. We currently have a bug in the homescreen which should be resolved in the next update and you sho

We have a "guided" mode which should make things easier. You can turn it on in the settings (top right)

Noted!

Great stuff and no worries, we'll probably leave the transcription as is.

Yeah, we should probably clean up the logs. However, I was unable to reproduce the issue. Can you send a recording to me and then I'll investigate philipp@univerbal.app

The personal relationship is a tricky bit and definitely plays a huge role in tutoring. There are already AI apps out there that try to mimic a human like relationship (e.g. https://replika.com/ ) but it's unclear how&#

Yeah, that makes sense. Checking my inbox now!

Especially for people who are already fluent in a language, the lag can be a tad too long. For beginners, it's more ok since you get a nice "break".

Ahhh fair enough

I'm not sure how I can reach out, I did not find an email address. Can you ping me at philipp@univerbal.app?

We're using LLMs and good ol'ML. These systems are never going to be 100% accurate. Then again humans are also not 100% correct and we're working hard on ironing out the kinks like the one you just discovered.

Pinyin is already accessible if you click on the gear icon in the top right and enable "pronunciations". When you make a mistake you can also have a look at it, read the suggestion and the "correct it" by clicking on the

But when it was activated it was clear that it was activated. Or was should that also be shown more clearly?

Yeah, as a technical person, I was also surprised by what a big impact branding can make. Re:loading You can click on the message itself and you'll get the translation of the entire message. Preloading the translation of every word wou

Could not have hoped for more :)

What language were you learning? B.c. if you click on the settings you can already enable pronunciations (though only in some languages) The "Select..." makes a lot of sense

can you send me your details at philipp@univerbal.app

Just to clarify: So it showed that it was recording but it actually wasn't? Then you switched to tutor, clicked on the mic again and it worked?

Great point! The 3 person conversation is a super interesting point, since then the user can take more of a passive role and only occasionally intervene.

Re:Pricing, I mentioned something around it in the HN launch. Currently the price is 10-is USD/month.

Thanks! The tricky bit is to make this work in different languages where the "space" is not used to separate the different words, such as Chinese. We should implement a real Chinese lemmatizer there to chunk the words. Not sure if

Nice! Well not nice since you're a bit stuck, but nice since we have heard of this issue but never were able to reproduce it. Can you click on the "check status" button? Does that fix the issue? Before being forwarded into th

Absolutely agree on the slang stuff. Progress tracking is hard to do at scale in completely open-ended conversations since there are so many degrees of freedom within one conversation. If you have any tips and tricks, these would be much ap

Yeah...sorry about that. It seems that Safari has become the new Internet Explorer

by Hadjimina 3y ago
To add something here. We're really focusing on the tutoring aspect and fundamentally tailoring everything to the user's progress. Speak has a couple of ideas that are similar, however many more that are vastly different.

Good point

That's interesting. We have also seen that learners usually fall into one of two camps: 1) They know exactly what they want to learn. 2) They want to be guided and handed the next "lesson" after they completed the first. You
