I'd jump ship if it weren't for the real time voice chat. It's extremely powerful for beginner conversation language learning. Hoping that a company will make use of the real time api for a dedicated language learning app soon.

I keep waiting for Anthropic to release real-time voice chat for Claude, too. I don’t know if they’re even working on that, though.

I agree that there need to be dedicated language-learning apps using OpenAI’s realtime API. But at the current pricing—“$0.06 per minute of audio input and $0.24 per minute of audio output” [1]—I don’t think that could be a viable business.

Oof yeah that's expensive. Only app I know that will use the API is Speak, which seems to be the most high quality of the AI language learning apps. Seems like they even have a deal with OpenAI. They don't have many languages currently but everyone I know who has used it to learn their target language have improved dramatically.
