Practicing conversations in a foreign language is becoming increasingly realistic. MemoChat – the intelligent conversation trainer in SuperMemo – now includes a new feature that takes language learning to the next level. The hands-free mode lets you hold dialogues just like in real life – no button pressing, no pauses, no artificial breaks. From now on, users can focus entirely on speaking and listening instead of managing the interface.
Why is the hands-free mode a breakthrough?
Until now, conversations in language learning apps often felt like an exchange of short messages. The user would speak, then click a button to hear the reply. This model slowed down the pace of dialogue and made practice feel less authentic. With the hands-free mode, that barrier disappears – the conversation flows smoothly, naturally, and without interruptions, just like when talking to a native speaker.
This is especially convenient for users who want to practice a language in conditions close to real-life situations. In real communication, we don’t get distracted by pressing buttons – we just listen and respond. And now, MemoChat on learn.supermemo.com works in exactly the same way.
How does the new feature work?
Update: as of October 9, 2025, the hands-free mode is enabled by default. This means that as soon as you select a dialogue topic, you can start the conversation without any extra clicking.
The system automatically switches between speaking and listening, making the dialogue feel like a natural interaction. There’s no need to adjust any settings – the technology works in the background to ensure user comfort. While using hands-free mode, you can still access translations and suggestions.
More freedom, more practice
Thanks to the new feature, it’s easier than ever to immerse yourself in the language. Not having to reach for the screen makes conversations feel even more relaxed and natural.
The hands-free mode also opens the door to longer dialogues. Since you don’t have to interrupt the conversation to click a button, it’s easier to maintain rhythm, develop your thoughts, and say more than just one sentence. This is especially important for learners at levels B1–B2 who want to move beyond short replies and start speaking in full sentences.
Learning through experience
One of the biggest challenges in language learning is overcoming the speaking barrier. Many people understand texts and can form sentences, but lack confidence in real conversation. The hands-free mode helps to solve this problem. It turns practice into something that feels like a chat with a native speaker, not just an exercise in an app.
This approach fits perfectly with the philosophy of effective learning: learning through experience, not just theory. Conversations in MemoChat, powered by new technology, develop not only vocabulary and grammar but also spontaneity and the ability to respond in real time.
Where can you use the new option?
The hands-free mode is already available on the learn.supermemo.com platform. It will soon be added to the mobile apps for Android and iOS, further expanding learning opportunities. This means every user will be able to take advantage of the new feature anywhere — at home, while traveling, or during breaks between activities.
Why it’s worth trying
- Conversations flow naturally — just like in real life.
- More speaking practice, less app handling.
- Perfect for anyone who wants to overcome the communication barrier.
- Practice on the go, without looking at the screen.
The new feature in MemoChat is not just a technical update — it’s a real improvement in the quality of learning. With the hands-free mode, you learn to speak the way you’ll do it in real life: confidently, spontaneously, and without distractions or pauses.
Summary
The hands-free mode in MemoChat is another step toward language learning that truly resembles real communication. The feature allows you to focus on the content of the conversation rather than the interface. It’s especially valuable for learners who want to improve their fluency and speaking confidence.
With this new addition, SuperMemo supports users even more effectively in achieving their language goals — quickly, efficiently, and in conditions that genuinely prepare them for everyday interactions.
