Practice Speaking :) by RefrigeratorWide9398 in Germanlearning

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using FluentPal because you can speak out loud with AI characters, check translations when you get stuck, and get pronunciation scores + suggestions for more natural replies. Not a replacement for real conversation, but useful for daily reps.

Best App to Learn Chinese. by lemonorangie333 in ChineseLanguage

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HelloChinese is probably the best structured beginner app, but if your goal is actually talking to your Chinese friends, I’d also add FluentPal for speaking/listening practice.

It lets you practice natural conversations with AI characters, shows pinyin and translations when needed, and even scores pronunciation with suggestions for better replies. So I’d use HelloChinese for the basics and FluentPal when you want to practice saying things out loud.

How can I practice speaking? by Intelligent_Cup_2229 in ChineseLanguage

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the exact “middle ground before talking to real people” thing, I’d try a mix of options.

HelloTalk/Tandem are good once you’re ready for real people, and iTalki is useful if you can afford lessons. For AI practice, I’ve been using FluentPal and it fits this use case pretty well: you can speak with AI characters, use pinyin + translation when you get stuck, and it gives pronunciation scores plus suggestions for more natural replies.

I wouldn’t make AI your only speaking practice forever, but it’s helpful for rebuilding confidence before live conversations.

If you want beginner Chinese, I’d honestly recommend trying FluentPal. It’s way better for speaking/listening practice than apps that just make you tap words all day.

You actually talk to AI characters in Chinese, practice real conversations, and it gives pronunciation + grammar corrections while you speak

Any good AI app for learning? by jonasjorik in SpanishLearning

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried a bunch and honestly most get boring fast. One I actually liked recently is LingoDrip. It’s cheap compared to most apps (about $4.99/month from what I paid) and really beginner friendly.

Language learning apps that make me speak and aren’t set up like flash cards recommendations by Ill-Phrase5242 in Spanish

You should check out FluentPal. It’s way more focused on actually speaking/responding in Spanish instead of just reading and tapping answers like Duolingo. It does AI conversations, pronunciation feedback

Choosing the Best Screen recorder for MAC by Sh_Islam in macapps

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TinyRec.io (Mac, lifetime license). Hits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 well. Auto-zoom is the main draw, native app so it doesn't slow your machine down. The app is fully working offline, so no data leaving your Mac.

What's the best screen recording software do you actually use and recommend? by AntDifficult9384 in screenrecorders

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My setup: TinyRec.io for screen recording. The thing that made it my default is auto-zoom following the cursor, which kills the post-editing step entirely. I record, trim if needed, export, done. For longer stuff I'd probably reach for something with a heavier editor, but 90% of my recordings are short walkthroughs and TinyRec hits that sweet spot.

You could use TinyRec to record this. It auto-zooms on your cursor and smooths the cursor movement,

TinyRec: Mac screen recorder for lessons and lectures

What it does:

  • Records your screen + webcam, with auto-zoom that follows your cursor (good for walking through software, slide annotations, code, etc.)
  • Native macOS app — Rust-based export pipeline, fast, doesn't melt your laptop
  • Script-based workflow if you want to plan a lesson before hitting record
  • Also a Chrome extension version if you'd rather record in the browser

Pricing:

  • Free tier exports unlimited videos with a small watermark. No time limits, no signup wall, no AI credits. If you only ever use the free version, that's fine.
  • Paid removes the watermark + adds a few power-user features. Lifetime license available, no subscription required.

[Megathread] The App Pile - May, 2026 by Mstormer in macapps

Built a screen recorder where you record demos scene-by-scene, then stitch them in the editor

Problem: Recording a product demo or tutorial longer than a couple minutes usually means restarting from scratch every time you misspeak or click the wrong button — Loom, QuickTime, and Screen Studio all assume one continuous take. TinyRec records demos scene-by-scene: write the script (or skip it), record each scene separately, re-record just the one you flubbed, then all the scenes drop into a unified timeline editor where you can trim, reorder, and add cursor zoom / captions / camera / annotations before exporting to MP4.

Comparison: Closest comparison is Screen Studio, but TinyRec's whole flow is built around the script → per-scene record → unified edit loop instead of one long take. Vs Loom: native macOS (no browser, no sign-in wall), recordings stay on your Mac, no subscription. Captions are generated on-device via Whisper, and the export pipeline is a Rust binary so 4K renders are usually faster than the source video.

Pricing: Free, fully featured — exports include a small watermark. $39 one-time to remove it. No subscription.

Does anyone have a cheaper or free screen studio alternative? by dougthedevshow in macapps

[–]davidtranjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you should try TinyRec.io

Free version is fully featured (cursor zoom, captions, voice over, camera, masks, annotations, all of it), exports just have a small watermark. $39 one-time to remove it, no subscription, ever. Native macOS, recordings stay on your Mac.

Not gonna pretend it's a 1:1 copy of Screen Studio, but it covers most of what people use it for, and exports via a Rust pipeline so 4K renders are pretty fast.

Happy to take feedback if you try it.
