Almost, but bad voice recognition
1. Prompts and conversation feel natural
2. Responses are very specific and quite impressive
3. Lots of categories for a variety of situations
Here’s the problem:
The voice recognition software is pretty terrible if you’re not a native speaker. I’m an intermediate Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and when I speak to others, I’m relatively understandable. Unfortunately, the voice recognition software gets what I said wrong almost 80% of the time, and it’s guesses as to what I said make very little sense.
Before one of the developers can ask, yes, I do know how to delete a response and re-record it. After trying 3-5 times, and then each time it gets it progressively more incorrect, I can safety say that doesn’t fix the issue.
Not sure how difficult it is to get the software to better understand non-native level pronunciation better, but that’s what it would take for me to come back and use it. I might just consider trying to find a person to practice with instead.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, Ejefolson! Re-recording every message must be a frustrating experience, it was intended to only fix an occasional error. Are you up to helping us fix it? Please email us at support@kippy.ai, and we can test your accent on different recognition models.
So far so good

Thank you for your review, Natii. Yes, Kippy can get chatty, but keeping up with the conversation can be challenging. Did you know you can also create your own response (swipe right on the first suggestion) to learn a phrase you'd like to respond with. For even easier vocab learning, try the Game topic. More topics are coming soon!
