How can we write a story together? Simple, I write a sentence and you write the next. It's fun but do you think 10 Leo will paint a Mona Lisa with 10 times less or 10 times better?
I agree but 11labs can be too expensive something transient like a conversation. Maybe give users a choice, those who pay for it will get it. But personally it's not really a deal breaker because 11lab doesn't have Japanese and Mandarin which I'm learning, haha!
the app is great. Thank you for making this. The app encourages me to talk more about the topic, which I know sometimes human teachers don't do. I like the stop and start button so I can pause and think before I speak. I was speaking Mandarin and Japanese. It responds well when the my transcript is gibberish (my pronunciation is not perfect).I know some people will point out that it lacks phonetic feedback. But the point of apps like this is not giving feedback because to help learners build up confidence. Of course, some feedback in any form would be great. But this app is multilingual, so it's hard to you will have to prioritise some languages first. Overall, simple but effective. I know I'm being greedy, and I know it doesn't make sense when comparing with other traditional apps like Busuu or Pimsleur. But if you allow decent number of conversations with affordable price (netflix or spotify subscription price :)). I would consider buying it.
why are you being so hard on a solo entrepreneur? I'm sure making a sleek service like that takes plenty of all nighters. He is even offering a free service costing him server and costs to make API calls to an AI service. If you're concerned about privacy, be more supportive, help him sort this out or at least give him some time to sort it out. Don't assume he's being dodgy. Everyone has to start somewhere.
A less well-known problem is by no means a trivial one. Only time can tell whether prediction of protein folding or prediction of next words for prompt is more important. But they are like apple and pear.
