Tried Doubao's Audio Chat function: Not bad though not real-time

 I tried the Web version on my computer, as well as the desktop app. 

The setting for microphone input was a bit complicated. 

Anyway, from the homepage, I clicked the microphone icon in the lower right corner of the prompt box. 

I then started speaking in English. When i was done, I clicked on the icon again. 

My utterance would be transcribed. 

Then Doubao would reply in text format. 

If I want to hear it, I clicked on the loudspeaker icon below the prompt box.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. It does a good job in recognizing my utterances. 

2. it prompts the conversation quite naturally. 

3. But it's not real time, like Loora AI, as to hear Doubao, I have to press the button every time. 

4. On the other hand, for ESL learners, it may be an asset, as they have the written dialogue to refer to.
