Very nice! Would improve with tiny fixes – JabberChess Review

The interface is amazing. Synthesizing it with stockfish packs a punch into it, and enables it to run independently of other chess apps. All things considered, you can't really ask for better in this department. One area that needs to be upgraded is the voice recognition and delivery. I'm not sure how it is with other users, but the pronunciation of "d" and "e" is very hard to distinguish, if not that, they're exactly the same. In addition, it's very difficult for the app to recognize Knight moves - it picks up what I say less than 30% of the time. At times, the audio will overlap as well when you swipe on the screen to initiate another listening period, which can make making quick moves troublesome. A neat feature that I believe could be added is voice activation, so one does not need to swipe, and therefore keep their hands out of their pockets / hand and can focus on other things. Overall though, really a novelty app. I love it. I'm astounded more don't know about it. Because I love it so much, I wanted to chirp in my own feedback. Thanks so much for making this, and thanks for reading! Cheers.
