Personally, I'm very much looking forward to using a speech model like OpenAI's advanced voice mode to learn language. It can already do things like speak quickly or slowly which traditional TTS systems can't. Also, in theory a speech model could tell me if my pronunciation is accurate. It could correct me by repeating my incorrect pronunciation and then providing the correct pronunciation. I don't actually know how capable OpenAI's advanced voice mode is in this regard because I haven't seen anyone actually test this but I'm extremely curious to try it myself. If other voice models can achieve this then it will be an incredible tool for language learning.



Traditional TTS can certainly be cranked up in speed. Low/no vision users often listen at 2-3x.
