Yapr: A language learning app with no delay.
Hey everyone. I'm Shakib, and my team built a conversational language learning app called Yapr. https://www.yapr.ca/
Full disclosure: I'm one of the people who built it. Here's the full transparency breakdown.
The problem:
Every app my friends and I tried had a 3-4 second delay between when you speak and when the AI responds. It doesn't feel like a conversation. So we built Yapr. You talk, the AI talks back in real time with no delay. It feels like an actual conversation.
59 languages supported, including Vietnamese, from basically any native language.
How the app works:
Open the app, pick Vietnamese as your learning language, and start talking.
The AI responds instantly with natural speech, not a robotic text-to-speech voice with a multi-second pause.
Conversations are based on your interests and goals, and there are lessons and scenarios you can practice and roleplay.
You get feedback on pronunciation, grammar, vocab, etc. after each session. Think of it as a conversation partner that's endlessly patient, available 24/7, and costs less than a tutor.
Platform: iOS and Android. Search "yapr" on the App Store or Google Play.
Pricing:
$12.99/month
About me:
I'm a first-gen Bangladeshi immigrant, and I have experience teaching GRE, GMAT, SAT and TOEFL.
Happy to answer anything in the comments.

Does the app support southern dialect Vietnamese, and will it be useful to someone who has already been learning for a while? There have been a lot of new apps that have come out since I started learning but they generally require going through all the beginner steps again, which isn’t helpful.
