I'm sorry but we are not providing longer free trials at the moment. You can clear the cache to try again (but you will have to go through the onboarding).

You can do this in the web app: https://app.issen.com/manage-account

Thanks for the feedback. 1. The response latency / patience can be configured in the quick settings (tap the gear during the call). 2. There already is a bias in transcription. It'…

Yes it pushes the problem, but it's a much easier problem, and models like Gemini flash 2.5 do very well.

The mobile app can be used in a car (not the Web app). Looking at the screen is not required.

Minimax's new model is quite good. We use their voices for some of our Japanese tutors. The pitch accent is almost perfect. There are incorrect reading or Chinese readings occasion…

I'm sorry about that. May I ask what language you tried?

Thanks for pointing that out. Did you try the other ones by any chance?

Langua is a nice app with more features than ISSEN. We focus on the voice chats, and I think our tech is better (intelligence, latency, realtime flow, voices, etc), especially for …

Our market is different - ISSEN is more focused on intermediate and advanced students, and especially those that are willing to use a more difficult app in order to learn faster. A…

The persuasion lesson sounds like a great idea, we haven't thought of that. Yeah voice to voice models will be amazing. There is significant progress from openai/gemini, and we pla…

Exactly, it's all server side. There are no plans for this. The main issue I see with doing it in device is the LLM piece. Even with some large models like llama 4 maverick, the tu…

Thank you so much for that! We focused on testing and tweaking the most popular ones, we have not tested some of the niche ones. We have removed languages that users have told us h…

The issue with that is people with less common names will get the wrong transcription, and there's nothing worse that seeing your name spelled wrong over and over

May I ask which tutor you were using? The TTSs have different strengths and weaknesses. Good idea on the export, will add that to our to-do list.

Ouch it looks like all the personality promoting has made it confused about its identity.. thanks for pointing it out

Thanks! No, it cannot do this yet, as it's using a pipeline of voice to text to voice. I think models are heading in that direction, and voice to voice models are getting better. F…

It's less tolerant of mispronunciations. There is custom promting to explicitly leave in mistakes and to not fix them. It's still not perfect and it (the speech to text module) som…

Yes we do have this issue, but it's improved a bit over chatgpt due to using multiple transcribers. The models are improving though, and they are at a very good place for English a…

I think so. Language learning is not just about practicality, it's about knowledge, culture, respect, and connection between people of different countries. If people have more free…

Thanks for the feedback. You might want to try manual mode, where you press enter or say "send" to trigger a response

You should try re-generating a custom curriculum from the settings, and there you can prompt it to create specific lesson types.

We are really sorry for the subpar experience. We did not test Vietnamese, and it seems like the quality is not sufficient. Thanks for pointing out the issues.

Yeah, agreed, we started with a similar observation. These voice models are getting better quickly. You do need an app to create a holistic learning experience just for language le…

There is a structured curriculum that gets generated after the intro lesson (if you responded yes to the curriculum question). This is available for all proficiencies. It's just mu…
