What tools are available during a conversation?
Every icon on the conversation screen is there to help you keep talking, understand more, and review what you said.
1.Change the topic
Tap the # icon next to the microphone and pick a new subject. A pill in the chat confirms the change — for example Topic changed to Food.
2.Get a suggested reply
Tap the lightbulb to get a suggested reply. You can translate it, listen to it, or refresh it to get a different suggestion. Then say it out loud yourself, or just use it as inspiration for your own answer.
3.Learn or save words and phrases (Coming soon)
Press and hold a word in Loora’s message to select it. To select a phrase, keep holding and drag across up to 8 words. Then:
- Tap Learn to see the translation and practice the pronunciation.
- Tap Save to keep it. Saved words and phrases appear in Saved vocabulary on the Practice tab, so you can come back to them anytime.
4.Use the lifeline
Tap the lifebuoy to open How to say in English. Type what you mean in your native language and Loora translates it so you can say it in the lesson.
5.Turn captions on or off
Tap CC in the top bar to hide or show the text of Loora's messages. With captions off you only hear Loora, which is great listening practice. Turn them back on whenever you want to read along.
6.Use the buttons under Loora's messages
- Listen again: plays Loora's message again, as many times as you need.
- Translate: shows Loora's message in your native language.
- Slow down (snail): plays the message again at a slower speed.
7.Use the buttons next to your messages
- Corrections (pen): opens all the corrections for that message in one place.
- Play: lets you hear your own message again.
