ARLingo: Language Immersion

I think the developers need to add a more gradual learning experience. Certainly more lessons. Very small. But there’s so much potential. I don’t know why they haven’t added a lot more. This seems like maybe a quick put together app

This is a great concept application, but it has many flaws. The microphone is very cumbersome and often triggers when you don’t want it to. After every utterance, the application plays a sound of success or fail. It seems there’s no way to turn this off and often plays over the voice you’re meant to hear. Unlike other applications of this type, the recognition of the sounds you make is very poor as well and now often judges that you haven’t said the correct thing even though it is correct. For example, Rosetta Stone often gets this right. Having said that the immersive environments are fun and I could see how with some development and the addition of a more intelligent back end this could be a great application.

I’ve never seen an app like this before, I ran through pronouncing words in several languages just for fun.
