I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my ideas about how to help students get more feedback on their speaking with Turboscribe.ai (speech-to-text) and ChatGPT.
Only 40% of the people attending already had (free) accounts
for both Turboscribe.ai and ChatGPT, but that was enough to give it as a
workshop where participants experienced the 9-step prompt that I shared with
them as if they were students.
Here is a link to the prompt I shared with them
or a QR code to access it.
I made two videos in English to demonstrate the method I was suggesting, but in fact it works in 90+ languages, of which I have only tried 4.
This one is about 7 minutes long and uses the same examples that I used in the presentation:
This one is about 17 minutes long and is a screen recording made in real time showing the 9 steps in the prompt I suggested:
From this it seems that the only problem was that it wasn't really easy to connect Turboscribe with ChatGPT. I think that with a little practice teachers and students will find it easier and easier.
These are a few of the comments in the chat:
- “I definitely would like to try this with my students - but I think it is also good to use for improving my own L2 Japanese!”
- “Thanks Chris! I really enjoyed your workshop, it was an introduction to TurboScribe for me, and your super prompt is a great idea.”
- “Thanks Chris - that was great :-)”
- “I’ve used TurboScribe before but never imagined using it in this way. Amazing idea”
- “Thank you very much Chris. Want to play with it now”
- “Ah, this is very useful for self-study and feedback generation.”
- “Ohhhhh I love this! I did it in Italian and it felt so good seeing the smooth version of what I had said. I listened to myself and noticed all the pauses and repetitions but the story itself - that story is mine. It felt good and I think I’ll use this more for my own L2 practice and also introduce it to my students.”
