TechTalk - IT English practice

Practicing English pronunciation app, tailored for IT engineers

TechTalk is an English conversation pronunciation training app for non-native English-speaking IT engineers. The conversation sentences are fully specialized in technical content that IT engineers would discuss.

For example, the content includes sentences like this:

* How do you handle error logging in your Django projects?

* How do you manage API rate limiting in your services?

* Can we discuss the best practices for RESTful API design?

# Regarding required permissions

This app uses speech recognition, so you need to grant the RECORD_AUDIO permission. A pop-up will appear when you launch the app, so please allow it.

The notice about data collection is due to the use of the ad display function (GoogleAd). The app itself does not collect any information outside of GoogleAd.

# How to use the app

First, set your native language (or a language you understand even if it's not your native language). You can choose from 11 languages: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Portuguese, German, Korean, and Italian. The settings screen can be accessed by tapping the gear icon at the top right of the screen.

Initially, the conversation sentence will be displayed in your native language, and after a few seconds, it will switch to English. By tapping the speaker icon, you can hear the pronunciation of the entire English sentence. By tapping the word icons below the speaker, you can hear the pronunciation of individual words.

Press the "Speak Now" button to start the speech recognition and pronounce the English sentence. The recognized sentence will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Feel free to practice pronunciation for both the entire sentences and individual words. This app does not include a pronunciation scoring function. This is because it would interfere with repetitive word-by-word pronunciation practice.

Some IT terms may not be correctly recognized by the speech recognizer no matter how hard you try (e.g., Django). So, do not seek perfection in recognition results. Everything in moderation is best.

Currently, the speech recognition is fixed to American English settings. If you want to use British English, please give feedback. If there is demand, I will consider it.
