Very helpful! I found the "hold while you talk" feature in the chat app to be particularly useful. As long as you keep holding the button, the app remains in listening mode, so there's no rush to start talking right away.
Sorry, where is the link to request the spreadsheet?
Excellent job! Thank you so much for your efforts.
Unfortunately the way this podcast have been edited is like a robot which is somehow bothering the listener. All the sentences heve stiked together.Please pay attention to this crusial point.I really like to listen but due to this problem I can not listen more than 2 minutes, cause it makes me exhausted.
