Super cool and I love that people are putting effort in this space, in 1-3 years language teachers might be a thing of the past.

I just tried this out (have tried some others as well) but currently the voice to text is just too finicky. My Spanish pronunciation is quite good, not great, but often the input just got completely messed up beyond recognition.

Thanks. Is it better with multilingual speech recognition turned off? If you give me the convo uuid I can have a look, too.

Hopefully language teachers won't be gone, but it definitely will change the industry. It's a bit like the music industry maybe? People don't buy CDs, but they go to concerts. Language teachers for their part might have better students, eager to talk and for human contact.
