# AITalk
AITalk is Trancy's AI speaking partner: a ChatGPT-based spoken-language trainer that lets you practice real-life conversations through custom dialogue scenarios. It runs in the Trancy Learning Center, and you talk to it by voice (or type) while it replies in a natural AI voice and scores how you speak. Per Trancy's pricing comparison, AITalk (AI Conversation Training), along with AI Pronunciation Assessment and the AI Learning Assistant, are [Premium features](/en/billing-and-plans/premium.md). If the in-product experience differs (e.g. a limited free trial), the in-product behavior is authoritative.
### How AITalk works
AITalk is built around custom dialogue scenarios. Instead of fixed scripts, you pick or create a real-life scene — a job interview, ordering at a restaurant, seeing a doctor, and so on — and hold a back-and-forth conversation with the AI in that context. It supports two practice modes: a follow-up mode, where you repeat and respond along guided prompts, and a free dialogue mode, where you steer the conversation yourself.
You can answer by voice or by keyboard, and the AI speaks its replies aloud using Microsoft text-to-speech for a natural-sounding voice. As you talk, AITalk runs Microsoft speech assessment to give multi-dimensional pronunciation scoring, and it can suggest more authentic ways to phrase what you were trying to say. When you get stuck, a one-click smart tip helps you keep the conversation going.
AITalk is built on ChatGPT. Trancy describes the feature as ChatGPT-based and does not name a specific model version on its public pages, so this guide does not state one; the conversation model may change over time.
### How to start an AITalk session
1. Open the Trancy Learning Center and sign in, then select AITalk from the left-hand menu.
2. Choose a ready-made scenario from the Recommend tab, or open My Scenes to use one you created.
3. Pick a practice mode — follow-up or free dialogue — and start the conversation.
4. Reply by speaking into your microphone or by typing; the AI responds aloud and you continue the exchange.
5. Review your pronunciation scores and the AI's suggested phrasing after each turn to see where to improve.
### Creating good scenarios
The quality of your practice depends a lot on the scenario you set up. A well-written scene gives the AI a clear role, setting, and goal, so the conversation stays realistic and useful.

### Frequently asked questions
**Is AITalk free?**
Per Trancy's pricing comparison, AITalk is a Premium feature, so it is not part of the free tier. Trancy does offer a free trial of Premium, and if the in-product experience differs (e.g. a limited free taste of AITalk), the in-product behavior is authoritative.
**What languages can I practice?**
AITalk lets you practice the languages Trancy supports for learning. The exact list changes as languages are added, so check the current set on the Account settings page rather than relying on a fixed number here.
**Does it score my pronunciation?**
Yes. AITalk uses Microsoft speech assessment to give multi-dimensional pronunciation scoring as you speak. This pronunciation scoring, like AITalk itself, is a Premium feature per Trancy's pricing comparison.
