Huge Update incoming
Major changes:
⋆ Tutor has entered the chat: Instead of just being able to talk to a conversation partner, you can now also ask your AI tutor any grammar or vocabulary-related question. Just press and hold the recording button and swipe up.
⋆ Vocab progress v1: We now analyze how well you know any given word. After each chat, your tutor will tell you how many new words you have just seen or used and how much you have improved your proficiency score in those words. In the near future, this will influence and tailor almost every aspect of Quazel for you.
⋆ Small UI change to the home screen making the cards more compact on mobile devices
⋆ "This is taking longer than expected...": Tired of this message? So are we! We completely rewrote how we handle conversations to be much more stable and reliable. However, if the AI for some reason still gets tongue-tied and refuses to respond, you can gently nudge it by clicking the "retry" icon.
⋆ Grammar explanation improvements: Many of you told us that it's super annoying when using the microphone the grammar explanations talk about punctuation and capitalization mistakes because those don't get picked up by the speech recognition. Well, now they are gone.
⋆ Conversation progress and the conversation review are far more integrated into the conversation than they were before.
Stability improvements:
- Fixed a bug where the correction of a message was never shown
- Fixed a bug that prevented the transcript pdf from being generated
- Fixed a bug where text-to-speech in the translation tab could become out of sync with the message in the translator
