What's new in TryHabla

A fresh look for all of TryHabla: bold comic-book pages, sharper buttons, and clearer headers everywhere. Everything is still where you left it.

Students now level up. Every assignment turned in earns XP, and levels run from Rookie to Titan.

Turn-in streaks: students build a streak by turning in every assignment, with a week of grace before a new assignment breaks it.

50 achievements to unlock, from easy first steps to legendary challenges, plus one ultra-rare badge for completing them all.

Student profiles with stats, a rarest-achievement showcase, and each badge's unlock date and how many students have earned it.

A new student home page that shows the next assignment to record, so nothing slips through.

Fixed: some students were told they weren't on the class roster and couldn't record, even when they were.

Fixed: the "More actions" menu on class pages could be hidden behind the page header.

Students can upload an audio file they already recorded instead of recording in the browser.

Open Mic: students can send their teacher a practice recording without an assignment.

Transcripts now show how long the recording is.

A redesigned teacher workspace with faster class navigation.

Review AI-suggested grades for a whole assignment in one place, then approve or edit each one before it counts.

Clearer messages and next steps when sign-in doesn't work, including from school devices and in-app browsers.

One-click unsubscribe from TryHabla emails.

Generate a clean transcript without requesting an AI grade, then copy it or download it as a text file.

Open a student's oral portfolio from the class roster to replay and download recordings across assignments.

Students can replay their own past submissions from their private TryHabla history.

Generate every missing transcript for an assignment in one confirmed batch, then download a ZIP with a success and review report.

Optionally turn on automatic transcription for future submissions to an assignment. AI grading remains separate and optional.

Grade a whole assignment with AI in one batch. Every grade stays a suggestion until you review it.

Teacher plan: 30 free AI-assisted recordings to start, and 300 per month for $20.

Assignments remember your language settings.

Recordings with no detectable speech now explain what happened instead of failing silently.

Download student recordings directly from the review page. Files save with the student's name and correct audio format (webm, mp4, etc.).

Expanded playback speeds on all recordings: 0.5×, 1×, 1.5×, 2×, and 3×.

Fixed: playing a recording, scrolling to the next student, and hitting play would hard-refresh the page and send you back to the top — forcing you to scroll all the way down again.

Saved rubric templates — build a rubric once and reuse it across any assignment.

Fixed: pasting an assignment into a new class would sometimes carry over the original title instead of prompting for a new one.

Fixed: dropdown menus were hard to read in dark mode.

Fixed: confirmation dialogs (delete class, delete assignment, etc.) could appear invisible or unclickable on some pages.

Fixed: attaching a file to a new assignment sometimes failed silently — the file would appear to upload but not actually save.

Fixed: assignment descriptions couldn't be edited after the assignment was created.

Fixed: signing in from the Facebook or Instagram app would fail or get stuck.

Assignments now appear above the class roster on the class page for faster access.

Students now have their own dashboard showing all classes and assignments they've submitted to.

Roster feature: import your class list via CSV to pre-populate student names.

Fixed: modal backgrounds appeared transparent in dark mode.

Fixed: the delete confirmation dialog caused the page to scroll unexpectedly.

Fixed: dark mode lost its color accents after a recent style update.

Students can now see their previous submissions and are blocked from submitting twice to the same assignment.

Assignment limits: set a max number of submissions per assignment and a max recording length.

Fixed: Google sign-in would fail when opened inside the Facebook or Instagram in-app browser.
