Testing out the Prototype

Access the protoype web app.)

State of the App

The app currently implements a simple workflow:

  1. User uploads text (e.g., news article) or audio (e.g., .mp3)
  2. The audio is transcribed the audio into text.
  3. The user generates a “remix” of the uploaded content.

The “remix” types currently implemented are:

  • Report: Generates a news article based on the content, formatted for reading or listening comprehension practice at the learner’s level.
  • Conversation: Creates a podcast-style transcript of a natural dialogue between two people discussing the content, tailored to the learner’s level. The idea is that this can be converted to audio to create a “synthetic” podcast episode.
  • Tutorial: Produces a Cliffnotes-style study guide with key vocabulary, themes, key figures, comprehension questions, and oral role-play activities. The idea is that this could be used as a primer for a lesson with a tutor.
  • Speech Training: Generates pronunciation and fluency practice materials including backchaining exercises, rhythm/flow poems, and call-and-response phrases. The idea is that this could be converted to audio for passive speaking practice, like a Pimsleur lesson.
  • Error Analysis: Analyzes learner-produced content to identify errors, provide corrections with explanations, and extract reusable talking points.
