The Problem: Why Standard TTS Doesn't Work

Most translation apps use one-size-fits-all text-to-speech. This creates awkward situations:

The Issue:

Standard TTS can't tell if you're learning a single word or an entire sentence. This leads to:

  • ❌ Weird pauses when learning vocabulary
  • ❌ Robotic, unnatural rhythm for sentences
  • ❌ Inconsistent pronunciation quality
  • ❌ Poor intonation patterns

Single-Word Optimization

When you translate a single word or short phrase, TSnap detects this and optimizes accordingly:

✨ What You Get:

  • ✅ Natural pronunciation - Hears what natives actually say
  • ✅ Dictionary-style clarity - Emphasizes individual pronunciation
  • ✅ Speed optimized - Just-right pace for learning
  • ✅ Perfect for vocabulary - Learn exactly how natives pronounce it

Example: You select "saudade" (Portuguese)

TSnap speaks: Natural Portuguese pronunciation, optimized for a single word

You practice: Repeat until you nail it ✓

Sentence-Optimized Speech

When you translate longer text, TSnap switches to sentence mode:

🗣️ Natural Conversation Flow:

  • ✅ Natural intonation - Proper rhythm and emphasis
  • ✅ Conversation-like flow - Sounds like real dialogue
  • ✅ Adjustable speed - Slow down to catch nuances
  • ✅ Perfect for comprehension - Learn how natives really talk

Example: You capture "Voulez-vous un café?" (French)

TSnap speaks: Native French intonation with natural rhythm

You learn: Natural flow, not word-by-word ✓
