Horrible speech recognition software

Horrible speech recognition software

I will be completely and bluntly honest with you. You're speech recognition software is absolutely atrocious. The Dutch translation for juice is sap, pronounced sahp/zahp. It's really NOT that hard to say. It seems pretty insane that it can't understand it AT ALL. I have tried to say it in MANY different ways as well..... Next came woman, which is vrouw, which is also very easy to pronounce, and it just isn't getting. I am getting aggravated. I don't even want to do this exercise anymore because I don't like being told I'm wrong when I'm correct..... It's really discouraging me from moving forward.

Hmm, what’s missing from this picture? 🤔

Hint for those who don’t play chess: both sides are supposed to have a king.

Is not much, but today my streak ends. (Im shipping out to BCT)

After all this time, it's sad that the only reason I'm quitting is because I won't be able to use my phone anymore. For me, it's a significant achievement and represents my ability to be consistent and persevere. It's not much, but it ends today.

What is wrong with this sentence?

Why did Duolingo say my translation is wrong? How was I supposed to know the sentence is plural? Or am I missing something larger?

Duolingo just stole $63.99 out from my pocket

As you heard, Duolingo just renewed by itself their subcription after a free trial. They did not notify me three days before as I selected and they just renewed it. Is there a solution for this? I’ve already requested a refund with apple support but i dont know if thats enough. Can someone please help me?

New Duolingo pricing/tiers?

I think I'm part of a duo A/B test. It looks like they're getting rid of Max & combining it with Super, and adding a new ad-supported "Lite" tier.

is it just me or the speech recognition legitimately awful

ive been using it for Japanese and sometimes it will recognize the right word in correct order then assign that correct pronunciation to a completely different word later in the sentence (which usually doesnt even sound alike) and then i have to repeat parts for it to recognize it. like it kept recognizing tomodachi AT FIRST and then will decide i DIDNT say it so i have to say it until it does? why would it be "correct" to say the sentence out of order anyways? i feel like thats some basic back end logic that i shouldnt be fighting with regularly

also for the LIFE of me it will not recognize me saying Naomi despite whatever i do. im saying it exactly same, i try saying it slower, i try saying it differently, it will NEVER recognize it. which is cool because every other sentence now uses it so i constantly just gotta take the L

Naomi Naomi Naomi Naomi Naomi Naomi
^ my phones speech to text clearly recognizes it, why wont this stupid app?

does anyone else have problems like this? i havent tried the video call feature but if i cant even do the basic lessons without having issues why would i ever bother paying for super?

Anyone has open spots in their Duolingo Super Family Plan?

Hey! I have been using Duolingo for the longest time. I’d like to join a family plan to have access to the Super features. I’m an active user and it’d make it a way more enjoyable experience for me to keep learning.
I’m currently studying German and Portuguese, and I’m a native Spanish speaker. If you happened to be learning Spanish, I’d be happy to help you on the side too ofc! ☺️🙏🏻
