HelloTalk needed scalable AI services that could make language learning more immersive, accessible, and personalized for a globally distributed user base.
Reported impact
HelloTalk gives learners a more effective and immersive experience, keeps the product accessible to a broad audience, and supports a truly global learning community without reducing the social nature of the platform.
HelloTalk built key learning experiences on Azure AI so its app could support many languages and learning styles without forcing everyone into a rigid curriculum. The platform uses speech, voice, translation, and pronunciation services directly inside social learning experiences such as Voicerooms, live streams, Moments posts, course dialogues, and chat, which lets learners get contextual help while interacting with other people rather than leaving the conversation to look up language support elsewhere. Key components include Azure AI services, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, machine translation, and pronunciation assessment. HelloTalk gives learners a more effective and immersive experience, keeps the product accessible to a broad audience, and supports a truly global learning community without reducing the social nature of the platform.
Voice and text from Voicerooms, live streams, Moments posts, course dialogues, and chat are processed through speech-to-text, text-to-speech, translation, and pronunciation services, then returned to learners as subtitles, audio, meaning support, and speaking feedback inside the app experience.
Microsoft Azure's AI services play a key role in powering the features of HelloTalk.
These tools include real-time speech-to-text and subtitles in Voicerooms and live streams, text-to-speech in Moments posts and Chat, and pronunciation assessment in Moments posts and course dialogues.
With support for over 160 languages and users from over 200 countries, HelloTalk is a truly global platform.
