Speaks

Speaks offers GPTs that function to assist with foreign language tasks. These GPTs are designed to help users get along in a foreign language, primarily serving as translators while also correcting grammar, explaining translations, and suggesting more appropriate idioms. They reveal their workings so users can verify that the output matches what they mean.

Users interact with the GPTs by adding them to ChatGPT and then chatting with them. When text is placed in quotes, it is translated directly, and the GPTs can be used for general language help beyond strict translation. The approach emphasizes seeing how translations are produced to aid learning and comprehension.

They are portrayed as tools for deeper engagement with languages, contrasting with ordinary translation apps that may provide literal translations without showing the process or supporting language learning.

This framing emphasizes learning, understanding, and practical language application through interactive GPTs.

Use cases

• Translate and learn while practicing a language
• Explain translations and idioms for deeper understanding
