This project provides a comprehensive language learning application leveraging AI models for interactive conversation, speaking assessment, and vocabulary memorization. It targets language learners seeking to improve their fluency and pronunciation through advanced speech technologies and AI-driven feedback.

How It Works

The application integrates ChatGPT for conversational practice, offering a wide range of AI-generated accents and celebrity voice impersonations. It utilizes Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) technologies, including SpeechSuper and iFlytek for pronunciation assessment, aiming to provide IELTS/TOEFL-like scoring. The architecture relies on a desktop ChatGPT client for AI interaction and a separate LangHelper application for managing speech functionalities and configurations.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Download and extract provided archives for ChatGPT desktop and LangHelper. Install espeak-ng (a required TTS dependency).
• Prerequisites: Windows OS, espeak-ng (default installation), and a modified ChatGPT desktop client.
• Setup: Configure speech settings within the ChatGPT desktop client under Preferences -> Control Center -> Setting -> LangHelper. Refer to provided tutorials for detailed setup.

Highlighted Details

• Supports hundreds of AI-generated accents and celebrity voice impersonations (e.g., Obama, Taylor Swift).
• Integrates speaking assessment APIs (SpeechSuper, iFlytek) for pronunciation scoring, with potential for IELTS/TOEFL test preparation.
• Features include interactive talking, speaking assessment, and word memorization with context.
• Allows users to load custom TTS models.

Maintenance & Community

• The project is actively developed by NsLearning.
• Community support is available via group discussions (details not provided in README).

Licensing & Compatibility

• The README does not explicitly state a license.
• Compatibility is primarily for Windows.

Limitations & Caveats

• The application is Windows-specific and requires a modified ChatGPT desktop client, which may have compatibility issues with future ChatGPT updates.
• Some AI voice features depend on specific configurations and may encounter errors if not set up correctly.
• The project relies on external AI models and APIs, whose availability and performance are subject to change.
