How speaking practice feature works

Tech Crunch highlighted that Google launched a similar feature last year in October. However, the feature provided users with feedback and improvement. The newly tested feature is more enhanced due to its AI-powered conversational abilities.

In the shared post, a screenshot of how the speaking practice feature works was shared in which the chatbot asked “I want to get in the shape. What should I do” and the user has to reply with a sentence which will include the words “exercise,” “heart” and “tired.” This will enable users to understand how to use different words in English.
