Babblemore

Babblemore is a fun language learning app. It can show you short phrases in many different languages and you'll have to pronounce them quickly (in 4 seconds) and correctly. The app will give you feedback on your pronunciation skills.

Components of a typical practice session:
- [tbd] choose a phrase collection
- choose a language (for some phrase collections more than 10 languages are supported)
- tap on the big yellow button and read out loud the displayed text
- tap on the feedback text to try again
- tap on the loudspeaker button to hear the correct pronunciation
- tap on the share-button to open it in Google Translate
- select menu "History" to see the history of phrases, sortable by various parameters
- (in History) tap on a phrase to listen to its correct pronunciation
- [tbd] tap on "Plot" to see the graph of your error levels in different languages

Babblemore uses the services of speech-to-text and text-to-speech that are available via standard Android APIs. The apps that provide these services (e.g. Google Voice Search for speech-to-text, various TTS engines for text-to-speech) have to be installed separately in case they are not already pre-installed.

The currently built-in phrases have been automatically generated using the MOLTO Phrasebook grammar. Since the phrases have been automatically generated they might contain occasional mistakes.
