I experimented with it and was able to get everything I wanted, but it required many extra steps and prompts. For instance, my app automatically detects the tone of the message while I am typing, whereas in GPT, I need to manually request the tone after making any changes to the text.

As a native Spanish speaker, I often used ChatGPT to improve my emails in English. It was very time-consuming having to type the same prompt multiple times in a day to set my writing style and format. That's why I decided to build an app to simplify my process. You can set the style and format just once, and with a single click, you can improve your text. You have the option to include the email thread or any relevant context for a more personalized improvement. Additionally, I've included features designed specifically for non-native speakers, like tone detection and the ability to request a few different alternatives for any word/phrase. And of course, you can talk directly with the AI to create a draft or modify the text. Check it out: https://talktext-ai.web.app/

Nice. React Native is very popular.

Thanks. Yes, I will work on the play back. Could you send the feedback about the mobile app on the website? That way I can notify you when I build it.

Yes, many libraries these days do pronunciation assessments. For this project, I used Azure Pronunciation Assessment (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-s...)

Thanks for the feedback. I will add the functionality to play back the mispronounced word.

rubengt01 | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What errors are the most common when filling legal forms?

I am currently working with an accountant on my company's 2023 Federal tax, and we had a lot of back-and-forth because of typos and mistakes. After going back and forth a couple of times, I decided to use LLMs to review the forms, and to my surprise, it detected the company address being different between two different forms and a box that needed to be marked but was left unchecked. I was impressed by the results, so I started building a solution for it - docuprecision.com. I am planning to start with taxes, but if you have experience with high-stakes forms (legal, taxes, or anything else), what forms and errors should I focus on initially?

Hello everyone

After a few months working on BoostCollab, Ernesto and I are excited to share it with the community. We are very passionate about remote work and the potential to democratize opportunities all over the world. We started working on this project after reading a lot of articles from successful remote companies and learning how important is asynchronous communication for a distributed team. Asynchronous communication is key to the success of any distributed team and yet we are stuck with emails and real-time chats. Then, we started building something that we wanted for ourselves on our distributed team. We will love to hear from you.
