I've used chatgpt itself as a language tutor a bit but this is nicer. I like the inline suggestions that don't break the flow of conversation.
Portuguese speech to text is flaky. This may be partly attributable to my pronunciation, and chatgpt has the same issue.
I'd love to have a hands free mode that's suitable for use while doing chores or driving.
I have found myself legit using this instead of duolingo for the past couple of days, in spite of the speech to text issues. It feels like a better way to learn. The inline suggestions, in particular, seem like they will help me quickly move through bad habits and mistakes in order of severity.
The tutor review at the end of the lesson doesn't feel as useful currently; its content isn't particularly actionable. Maybe if it gave me a couple of exercises or something?
You can actually set the chat settings to automatic recording and even decide after how many seconds of not saying anything, the message should be automatically sent. Just check out the chat settings on the top right ;)
The auto submit slider doesn't work for me (on Android) but I can imagine what it would be like. I don't think the Portuguese speech to text is good enough for the app to be usable hands free even if the slider did work. For example, it just transcribed
"Eu quero ir a assistir ao filme." (which is almost correct)
as
"Eu quero ia AA chistian ao filme."
These errors have to be corrected by typing.
