I love the idea, and just had a successful conversation with it for a few minutes in Portuguese. Nice work!
For me in that language I need to work on understanding native speakers, so currently it speaks too slowly for what I personally need (it's too "easy"). I did ask it twice to speed up but it didn't seem able to - I guess it's hardcoded in your text-to-speech code? Is that something you can add an option for?
Awesome! Yes, it's hard-coded to basically be in 'beginner' mode at the moment, but I was considering allowing the user to select intermediate or advanced, which it sounds like would be more useful for you. Thanks for the feedback!
I would love to try it on advanced if you get time to do that. I honestly think I'd use it a lot. If adding it to the UI takes time I'd be absolutely happy with a URL query parameter prettypolly.app?level=advanced if that's easier.
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
Great. Oh, I'm just aiming to get much better fluency and ability to understand native speakers in real-life contexts. I've had basic bad foreigner level for a while now.
