Voice recognition is very very bad. Very bad user experience.
Response from Rocket Languages
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the voice recognition feature, Ralf. Your feedback is important, and we’re continuously working to improve accuracy and performance. Please reach out to our support team ([email protected]) so we can troubleshoot any issues and help improve your learning experience.
What I liked: Grammar lessons and examples. The conversational lessons are generally good, but I thought that some were not really applicable to what I wanted to learn. For example, several focus on "workplace" conversations that don't seem particularly relevant.
What I don't like: The speech recognition program is terrible. I get the impression that Rocket Languages (1) didn't adequately test this program prior to incorporating it into the course, and (2) doesn't seem to be interested in trying to fix it.
The speech recognition module actively detracts from the utility of the course. Please bring back the older speech recognition program or fix this one.
The bottom line: Not recommended due to speech recognition issues.

Thanks for your feedback, Anna. We're sorry to hear that the Audio lessons didn’t keep your attention. Our aim is to provide content that’s both informative and engaging, so this is helpful for us to hear. If you’re open to sharing what would make the Audio lessons more compelling for you, we’d love to hear it.
Nothing awesome about it. The speech recognition doesn't work half the time no matter how loud I say the word. Worst Italian online course I have tried.

If you reach out to our support team at [email protected], we’ll do our best to get things working smoothly for you.
I couldn't get past a few units on level 1 before I had to call it quits; Amy's Spanglish accent made it very difficult to stay focused and impeded comprehension. I don't know if using her, with a non-native accent, was a deliberate choice, but it didn't sit well with me, personally.
The program itself appears fairly comprehensive (covering all core skills in genuine contexts), but I was not a fan of the audio lessons and the narration.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for sharing your experience, Andrea. We're sorry to hear that the narration style in the audio lessons wasn't a good fit for you. We aim to create realistic and relatable dialogues, but we understand that preferences can vary, especially when it comes to accents. We do appreciate your recognition of the program’s comprehensive approach. If you're open to giving it another try, we'd be happy to help you find learning paths or features that may better suit your style. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] if you'd like assistance.
So far, I am finding it rather boring and tedious. Certainly don't look forward to undertaking a lesson. Capability to record and replay ones responses useful.

We're sorry to hear that the course doesn’t suit your learning style. Many lessons are designed to be as comprehensive as possible, which can feel overwhelming at first.

Very poor voice recognition despite trying multiple microphone, speaker phone, and headset options.
