Hi guys, Hope everyone is well. This app was borne out of my own frustration. I thought that I was terrible at learning languages at school, since I didn't become conversational in French after 5 years of study. However, I later traveled with some French friends and, in just under 3 weeks, I was able to hold a reasonable conversation. I realized that there's no substitute for speaking to native speakers. I tried to adopt this approach for other languages, but it's much harder to find people to practise with when you aren't travelling. I started using iTalki to meet people from different…

Hello Hacker News, When learning foreign languages, I made the most progress by speaking them throughout the day, every day. So I made a site where you can *speak* to an AI language teacher to practice both listening and speaking. # The product *What I have now:* * Multilingual speech recognition: You can ask a question in English and get an answer in your target language. * Feedback on your grammar. * Suggestions: See examples of what to say next to keep the conversation flowing. * Speed: Choose a lower speed for beginners or a faster one for advanced levels. * Translations: Click to see a…

Hi HN — I built Accent AI, an iOS/Android pronunciation + public speaking coach. What it does: - Listen to short prompts and give feedback on pronunciation, stress/intonation, pacing, and breathing. - A “meeting mode” style practice for clearer speech under pressure (stage anxiety / speaking confidence). Why I built it: I work with many non-native English speakers who can write English well but aren’t understood quickly in calls/interviews. I wanted fast, targeted drills that focus on clarity (not just vocabulary). How it works (happy to go deep in comments): - [Briefly…

I created an open source and free version of Wispr Flow that also includes an AI assistant feature I am working on. Has all the main features of Wispr Flow like audio ducking and hot keys to start dictation. @boshjerns on X if you dig it let me know! If you run it locally theres no login necessary but if you install on Mac or Windows- the dictation is all local but requires login because the secondary ai assistant feature uses my openai keys.

Hey there HN! I believe the future of AI communication will be more voice and less text. Low-latency realistic voice interactions are finally becoming feasible. I've built a few voice-first apps on Retell AI using Elevenlabs voices. This one uses Claude Haiku for responses and Mixtral to switch between posts and comments. The AI knows about the top 30 posts and their comments on Hacker News right now. After a Google sign-in you can try it free for 10 minutes. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
