A text generation machine performs a method of generating custom text. The text generation machine accesses a skill profile that specifies one or more skills of a user. The text generation machine determines a set of one or more words based on the one or more skills specified by the skill profile. The text generation machine then generates custom text for the user, and the generated custom text includes the determined set of words. The text generation machine then causes presentation of the generated custom text. A trainer machine performs a method of training a learning machine, based on one or more reference stories, to perform all or part of the method of generating custom text. The trained learning machine is configured to generate custom text based on one or more inputted words, which may be selected or otherwise determined based on a user's skill profile.

A machine presents a graphical user interface that depicts a word that includes a first letter and a second letter. The machine detects a drag speed of a touch input on a touch-sensitive display screen and determines that the drag speed falls into a first range of drag speeds among multiple ranges of drag speeds. Based on the drag speed falling into the first range, the machine selects whether the word is to be pronounced by sequentially playing at least a first audio file and a second audio file, where the first audio file records a first phoneme for the first letter, and the second audio file records a second phoneme for the second letter. Accordingly, the machine provides a speech synthesizer that pronounces the word at a pronunciation speed based on the drag speed, with enhanced clarity at slower speeds, and with enhanced smoothness at higher speeds.
A set of machines functions as a language teaching lab. Configured by suitable hardware, software, accessories, or any suitable combination thereof, such a language teaching lab accesses multiple sources and types of data, such as video streams, audio streams, thermal imaging data, eye tracker data, breath anemometer data, biosensor data, accelerometer data, depth sensor data, or any suitable combination thereof. From the accessed data, the language teaching lab detects that the user is pronouncing, for example, a word, a phrase, or a sentence, and then causes presentation of a reference pronunciation of that word, phrase, or sentence. Other apparatus, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
A machine causes a touch-sensitive screen to present a graphical user interface that depicts a slider control aligned with a word that includes a first alphabetic letter and a second alphabetic letter. A first zone of the slider control corresponds to the first alphabetic letter, and a second zone of the slider control corresponds to the second alphabetic letter. The machine detects a touch-and-drag input that begins within the first zone and enters the second zone. In response to the touch-and-drag input beginning within the first zone, the machine presents a first phoneme that corresponds to the first alphabetic letter, and the presenting of the first phoneme may include audio playback of the first phoneme. In response to the touch-and-drag input entering the second zone, the machine presents a second phoneme that corresponds to the second alphabetic letter, which may include audio playback of the second phoneme.
