Kai's verdictA-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
