add field for context translation?
Readlang is already great!
The flashcards have fields for the word, the translation of the word, and the context sentence that the word was originally found in, etc. It might be nice if there was yet another field where I could also put in a translation of the whole context sentence. Maybe the Explain-bot in the side panel could provide it? (It already does sometimes, I think)
Thanks for reading and thanks for all the work you've put into the app already!
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! I'll consider this, but at the same time I want to be wary of adding too many fields which make the app feel overly complicated. It's tough to strike the right balance!

Add Ancient Greek
I've been interested in Ancient Greek for a long time now, and I'd love to use your website for continuing to learn it. I'm already impressed by what I can do on your site through playing around with your Spanish and Irish language materials and flashcard system. Any possibility that Ancient Greek could be added to your website?
1 voteI'm afraid Google Translate (used for the translations which appear above words you click on) doesn't have an Ancient Greek option, so I can't add this right now.
You could try uploading an Ancient Greek text with your learning language set to Greek to see how that works. The Explain feature is also available for Greek so if the translation gloss above the word doesn't look convincing you can check to see if the explanation in the sidebar (provided by ChatGPT) is better.
If you try this, I'd love to hear how it goes!

in practice in mobile view, clicking a word in the context box does not show a translation
This is about what happens when I click a word in the context of the tested word, during practice.
On desktop, the word is underlined and it's translation appears above it, just like in reading mode.
On mobile, the word is only underlined. I can send a screenshot of it's not clear.
In both cases, the word is added to the word list, so it's probably just a display issue.

Add Interlinear Text Option to support Bilingual Text
Hi,
Would it be possible to add in a premium option to make an interlinear text of the current page or the whole reading? Right now, I spend a lot of time curating my word list, because it creates a card from every translation that I do. An interlinear text will allow me to see the full sentence translations without creating cards and select the phrase or word that I want to turn into a card. This would also partially address some of the other ideas for bilingual texts.
I've started converting text to be interlinear and entering it into…

Increasing the maximum audio speed.
I have been using Readlang for years and really love it. Lately, I've been listening more and more while reading books; this way, I can comprehend what I am reading faster. However, the Readlang version only has a maximum speed of 1.2x the normal voice, whereas on Speechify, I usually listen and read books at any rate between 1.5-3.0x speed, depending on the context. However, Speechify is missing all the amazing language learning capabilities that Readlang has. If you could increase the maximum speed of the audio reading, I would be very delighted.

Please add an option to automatically translate whole page or text
I find having a translation above each word extremely useful. For languages that I'm a beginner, I have to translate almost every word on each page. I'd find it very useful to be able to select an option that does this automatically, and displays a translation for every word.
I'm speaking about word by word translation, like interlinear texts, and not about whole phrases. In my opinion, phrases should still be translated by being selected, just like now, but the interlinear word by word translation would make this app even more unique, there's no other app out there that does…

Allow correction of a mistyped answer (simple typo's)
there is no way to correct a minor typo after an answer was checked and found wrong. one can only go to the next card.
why not leave the card in unanswered/edit mode again...
https://i.postimg.cc/gj772WPf/screenshot-685.png2 votesIf you got the card wrong, it will resurface later within the same flashcard session, giving you a chance to test yourself again and try to get it correct without the typo. Do you think this is OK?

Use "Enhanced" and "Premium" built-in macOS voices when available
In macOS it's possible to download additional voices through the settings. Those voices offer a much more natural pronunciation compared to the basic versions at the cost of a larger file size. Even when those voices are downloaded, they are not available in the Readlang settings for premium users. If you could make those somehow available, it would mean a massive QoL improvement.
When available (not the case for all voices), the names of those voices are the name of the basic variant with " (Enhanced)" or " (Premium)" added to it, e.g. "Thomas (Enhanced)" or "Amélie (Premium)". Thanks!
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! I've just tried this and I managed to get the enhanced version of the Spanish voice Monica to show up in Google Chrome and Firefox, but for some reason not on Safari.
I also tried the installing the Spanish Siri voice but couldn't get that to show up in any browser.
Sorry I'm not sure exactly why this is the case, but I agree that offering a choice of more high quality voices would be good!

Twitter scroll not working
The chrome extension does not appear to work well on Twitter. It does initially but if you scroll, the new tweets will not have the plugin working. I've tried scrolling first and then enabling the plugin but that does not work very well either.
1 voteSorry about this limitation. Readlang is currently only able to translate the words which were present in the document at the time when you opened the Web Reader extension.

Auto-highlight words for Japanese
The Auto-highlight feature is working for e.g. German, but absent for Japanese. Is this intentional? It seems a relatively language-independent feature to implement, so I was wondering if it was possible to add. Thanks!

slight edits of the context
Sometimes I want to slightly edit the context on the flashcard, but then the link to the original document is lost.
I think changes that:
- shorten the context
- lengthen the context (choose a longer piece of text than originally automatically selected)
- change whitespace and punctuation
- possibly also correct typos (have small Levenstein distance)should not break the link to the text they were taken from.
0 votesI've tested this and for me the link to the text remains even after editing the context. Please can you explain the steps you took to edit the context which led to this link being broken. Thanks!

In freshcards, "enter" key can be a choice of left clicking "yes(I remember the word)"
In freshcards, wish to make the function that pressing "enter" key can be a choice of left clicking "yes(I remember the word)" by a mouse, which might be more efficient to review words.

hands-free flashcard mode
Readlang is great for when I'm able to pay attention to the screen, but I also like using ClozeMaster for hands-free learning.
I set the whole Fluency Fast Track to Radio Mode and have it read a Spanish sentence out loud (in a robot voice, but that's fine), then read the English translation, then read the Spanish sentence again before moving on to the next, all hands-free.
This is great for being able to get some listening practice in while I'm doing chores or whatever.
It might be nice if ReadLang had some sort of feature where it could go…
1 voteCool idea!
I'm prototyping a new practice session at the moment and will bear this in mind. No promises though.

Pop Up translation without shifting the text
Please, add a pop up translation, when the word is highlighted or underlined but does not shift the text. The text shifting is crazy annoying especially on mobile devices. Overall the service is great, thank you! :)
