I notice that the robot voice pauses between 'um' and 'morango' in this sentence rather than running the words together. Would a native speaker pause there, too? In my very limited experience with spoken Portuguese, the robot often seems to be pretty accurate with the slurring.
Okay, I've asked a native speaker from Portugal and a native speaker from Brazil and they both said yes, there should be a pause between 'um' and 'morango'. I guess that answers that.
"The child eats a strawberry" should be accepted as "child" is gender-neutral.
If you want to say the child, you would use a criança. Girl is a female child and this knowledge changes the meaning of the phrase
That sentence is probably a valid description of the same scene, but not a translation of "A menina come um morango." a menina -> the girl, not the child.

Mango=manga. Mas pode ser manga, a fruta(mango), ou manga de camisa (sleeve)

This video tells you how to pronounce "morango" and other "m" words.
If you write starve instead of strawberry it says it's correct even though it doesn't make sense at all.
It probabaly assumes you were a few letters off. No harm done in giving a person an "A" if they see what's wrong and put it to good use, I guess
