alt Hacker NewsVoicze doesn't really read as 'voice easy'. I thought it was supposed to be some slavic sound before hearing the fake podcast thing. (Btw massive red flag the podcast, the fake claims of buzz etc).
When you select gendered languages as 'native language' the text says son, not child.
The Italian text is borderline nonsense. It technically translates to the correct English but it isn't even close to how an Italian person would say that.
The Portuguese version also gets derailed from one sentence to the other.
In both cases, first sentence makes sense, the second jumps to plural and you're left wondering who it's referring to. Again, technically makes sense, but it's not idiomatic and sorta confusing for native speakers.
After reading languages I dominate botched like that I would lose all trust in this app's ability to teach anyone a new language.
Thank you for your comment. I actually appreciate receiving critical feedback like this.
Regarding the podcast, could you clarify why you see it as a red flag? In the same place where the podcast is available, it clearly states "Listen to our AI-generated podcast," and there's a note underneath specifying that the content is AI-generated. I believe anyone who listens would easily understand this, as there's nothing hidden.
There was absolutely no intent to mislead. Our goal was to enhance the landing page by offering content for those who prefer to listen to a summary of what the product offers.
As for the translations, I really appreciate your feedback. Could you please share which word specifically caused issues? We’ve tested several languages, and while the translations generally work well, they are AI-generated, so mistakes can happen. Knowing which part was off will help us improve it.
Regarding the use of Voiczy for language learning, we don’t promise that it can teach a language on its own. In fact, if you check our FAQ, we clearly state that no single tool or app can fully help someone master a language. Even professional tutors rely on a variety of materials and methods.
So what does Voiczy do? It helps children specifically with vocabulary building, immersing them in the target language so they can hear and gradually understand through consistent repetition.
I understand your concern about potential translation inaccuracies, especially in the Italian version, as you mentioned. I’ll review this issue to see what went wrong with the AI translator.
Thanks again for taking the time, and writing sharing your opinion.
