🗣️ AI口說練習工具試用心得分享：Talkpal、Langua、Toko等7款實測真實體驗與比較

為什麼開始這個計畫？

上個月開始想加強英文口說，大概是李洋變成中等程度代言人開始吧😂。雖然他代言的是 Speak，但我始終沒有安裝它(沒有為什麼)，反而試用了以下幾款 App：

• BeeSpeaker
• Loora
• FLOW
• ELSA Speak
• Toko
• Talkpal
• LanguaTalk

我的需求很單純：只想練口說。不需要課程引導、單字、朗讀、文法、跟讀等功能，也不在意介面可不可愛、是否遊戲化學習。所以這篇是我個人偏好、不公正的分享 😆

My WordPress Admin Was Super Slow... And I Finally Fixed It!

I’ve been struggling with my WordPress Admin dashboard for a while — every time I clicked on something, it took more than 10 seconds to load! 😩 I’m not even sure when the issue started, but it got so frustrating that I finally left feedback with Bluehost, my domain provider.

To my surprise, they got back to me really quickly — even left me a voice message in the middle of the night (my time)! 😂 The next day, I reached out to their online support. The customer service agent was helpful and tried to fix the problem by clearing the backend cache and walking me through some settings. But unfortunately, it was still very slow.

So the next day, I continued hunting for a solution on my own. That’s when I came across a suggestion to use a plugin called Code Profiler to measure the performance of plugins and themes at the PHP level.

Since I had already deactivated several plugins (hoping one of them was the cause), I figured, why not try Code Profiler?

And… wow. After running the profiler, I saw the light! 💡

Turns out the plugin “Ansar Import” was seriously slowing down my entire backend. I wasn’t sure what it was for — I use a custom theme and worried that deactivating it might mess things up. But at this point, I had to try.

So I deactivated Ansar Import… and OMG! My WordPress admin dashboard became faasssst! 🎉
Mission complete!

If you’re experiencing the same issue, I highly recommend checking your plugins with Code Profiler and deactivating “Ansar Import” if it shows up as a performance hog.

Lesson learned:
👉 Don’t trust a plugin just because it has one 5-star rating. Always check reviews and monitor your site's performance.

How to Fix Domain Issues After Removing It from Fourthwall

Yesterday, I attempted to connect my domain name to Fourthwall, hoping to effortlessly showcase my print-on-demand products on the domain I had just purchased from Bluehost. Initially, the connection did not work as expected, but I wasn’t too concerned—I figured I could still promote my products through blog posts and use hyperlinks to direct visitors to my store.

Feeling optimistic, I continued creating blog posts on WordPress, happily working on my website. However, later that night, I was shocked to find that my domain now displayed my Fourthwall shop instead of my original site! Where was my custom-designed website? I had already written several blog posts, and now everything seemed lost.

Trying not to panic, I decided to remove the domain from Fourthwall, hoping my original site would automatically return. But it didn’t. I spent some time investigating the issue, wondering what had happened and what would come next. I assumed my site might take time to reappear, so I decided to wait and check in the morning.

Couldn't find installable ISAM error when run my VBA code to record an item into SharePoint list

I recently encountered an issue again while using Excel 2016 and VBA to add new items to a SharePoint list for job tracking. After installing Excel and seemingly setting everything up correctly, I ran into an error message when I tried to execute my code.

找不到可安裝的 ISAM。

Upon pressing Debug, I discovered that the error occurred at the .Open line of my connection string. This is a common issue I’ve faced before, and I often forget how to resolve it. So, I decided to document my experience to help myself—and others—next time we encounter this error.

Here’s my VBA code for reference:

' Sub AddItem(i As Integer)
    Dim cnt As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim mySQL As String

    Set cnt = New ADODB.Connection
    Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
    mySQL = "SELECT * FROM [Your SharePoint List Name];"

Voicenotes: 用錄音把所有想法記下吧

為了看完整文章，之前我有付費訂閱Medium這個平台(雖然有方式可以不用付費也能看到付費文章全文)，現在我沒有付費了，但我仍會從每天寄來的Daily Digest郵件裡，看一些全開放的文章。

昨天看到這篇文章"🏆 10 Hottest New Productivity Apps - May 2024"介紹的App後，安裝了Voicenotes這個用錄音方式來記下你所有片段想法的應用程式；簡單試用後，也看了製作者的YT影片，發現原來他也是Buy Me A Coffee的創始人，我覺得這個App應該對我日常使用有幫助，應該不會買後沒人維護，於是當天就加入了Believer買斷方案，因為之後月租方案是每個月USD$10，相較之外，只付一次USD$50用終身，應該只要用五個月就回本吧(是這樣算嗎😋)，還可以花掉一些參加問卷之類賺到的Google Play餘額，可以少付一些，買！

Voicenotes可免費使用，但每次錄音只能1分鐘，付費後則沒有錄音長度限制。可安裝手機應用程式使用，也可以用網頁版。

我的斜槓人生-六個月的Data Analyst結束後

 

好啦, 這真的(應該)是這系列的最後一篇了。

這篇不說Peroptyx了, 來談談TELUS。

其實決定專心申請Peroptyx時, 我就立馬寫Email請TELUS把我的帳號remove掉, 以免未來我想申請時又說我申請過, 他們也說好, 會remove掉, 但後來又一直陸續有Email進來, 甚至說要給我多一點時間完成Maps Exam ?!

過幾個月又來信說有新的project, 可以看要不要申請, 然後我覺得沒有衝突, 就申請了, 之後根本沒消沒息! 是在騙資料?

又過了大半年, 就在過年前, 說有新的職位Personalized Internet Assessor可以申請,

After reviewing we can see that you would be suitable to go to the next stage of the process .

我想說我現在也沒Peroptyx了, 那就申請吧, 結果到現在為止也是沒下文啊~又在騙資料?

總之, 這類工作選擇不少, 像是Appen, TELUS, Welocalize等, 只要他們最終讓你用來工作的平台不同, 就可以同時身兼數職, 應徵方式應該都一樣要讀大把的guidelines, 然後通過測驗; 有過類似經驗之後, 我想的話, 就會再試其他間的看看, 但不要放任何希望在上面, 才不會失望, 畢竟丟申請的人一定為數不少, 等到他們review到你的申請或覺得你可以進行下一步時, 不知何年何月了。
