← Feedback & Support for Readlang

Does anything bug you about using Readlang? Add or vote on suggestions to improve it!

NOTE: Readlang is run by just one person, me, Steve. Even entire software development teams can't implement all the great ideas that they come up with, and this is doubly true in my case since I'm just a single person. So although I read all the ideas posted here, I can't possibly implement most of them. The feedback definitely helps inform my product decisions though, so please keep posting!

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Support for PDFs on Goethe Institute and Other Access Controlled PDF Readers

    Goethe Institute, Hoopla, and other free access libraries have a ton of content for language learners. But the browser extension doesn't work in these PDF readers.

    I would love to see the browser extension offer support for these kinds of PDFs.

  2. Require typing the correct phrase when incorrect

    For the option of typing in a phrase or word, when we get it wrong it just moves on to the next card. I feel like requiring/allowing the user to type in the correct answer even if the answer is visible allows for some internalization and output. As it is now, the input field becomes inactive.

    For me personally it helps to type the correct answer in the address bar a few times to output it a few times myself, so think it'd be nice to have as part of the user flow.

  4. Third-party apps to view the clipboard history on Android

    However, you can see the clipboard history on Android by default. But if you can not see that due to any reason then you can use some third-party apps to view the history. Gboard is one of them. It is a very famous app where you can see your clipboard history. Firstly, you need to install the Gboard app and set it as your default keyboard. Now, type anywhere with that keyboard. Then click on the clipboard icon that is shown above the letters. Then click on “Turn on Clipboard” Now, copy the text that you want to save to…

  5. Give full support to Welsh?

    It would be wonderful if Welsh could have full functionality (so that words are prioritised on frequency). So many people are learning Welsh now, via Duolingo and Dysgu Cymraeg ...

  6. What is a hack to fixing PayPal 403 error?

    When trying to access your PayPal account, if you receive the 403 prohibited error, your internet service provider is probably to blame. Connecting to a different router will help you identify the issue. It's time to get in touch with your ISP for more help if the problem doesn't go away.
    Your public IP address, which was given to you by your internet service provider, has occasionally been banned by PayPal. If so, speak with your ISP to see if they can assist in resolving the problem.

  7. Make it better than ChatGPT

    I've started using ChatGPT and love it. Not everything is there that I would want. Learning languages has come a long way since I started years ago.

    The first major issue is being able to use with pdfs. Right now I can make better use of DeepL and Reverso with phrases. I tried Readlang and I can get only one word and the English translation is on top of the spanish so not readable.

    I see you are bringing AI into the program. I haven’t experienced that yet. We need audio in natural voice so text to speech. I can…

  10. When you select a word in Russia or any other language you should be able to see the original form of the word.

    And also you should be able to listen to the pronunciation and there should be a button to copy the word which is selected.

  11. Experience the best treasure trove of audiobooks

    I am looking for a reliable site to add to my audiobook collection without spending a lot of money. After I found out about https://horbuchkostenlos.de/besten-horbucher/, I was delighted.

    The site offers a wide variety of high-quality audiobooks of various genres. The best part is that many of these are completely free! Very fast download speed and user friendly user interface. I can easily find my favorite authors and genres.

  12. Study flashcards by order of usefulness/frequency

    On the flashcards tab, I would love a mode to study flashcards from all texts but ordered by frequency/importance. I have too many words saved to realistically study them all via flashcards, so I'd like to prioritize them by frequency/importance.

    There's sort of a way to do this by going to the Word List tab, sorting by frequency/importance, and then selecting all, and then selecting Study Flashcards from there. But it only will do the top 25. It would be great to be able to use the spaced repetition algorithm from the main Flashcards tab to be able to work…

    This is exactly how the flashcards work by default. It's meant to surface the words with the highest frequency first. That said, the spaced repetition algorithm will also ensure that words you've practiced will not reappear in the flashcards for a certain time after you've last practiced them, which is designed to be effective for learning many words over the long term (but may not be ideal if you are trying to cram-study the top X most frequent words in a short amount of time)

  13. Set flashcard mode as Passive for chosen texts

    At present flashcard mode (Active or Passive or Active & Passive) is set globally. I’d like to set vocab for some texts - books for ‘extensive’ reading - as passive only. Is this something that would be possible?

  14. Changing the voice of the main reader and the Word translaters. Also the flash cards should be audible too.

    Basically to have more realistic accents. I am learning Mexican spanish and I am finding differences in both sentence constructions and phonemic sounds between Readlang and native speakers.

    I should say also, Readlang is the best thing since sliced bread for language learning. It's like the best of Anki without the aggravation.

    AdminReadlang (Language learning app, Readlang) responded

    Thanks for the suggestion!


    It makes a lot of sense. That said, for now, for simplicity, I want to keep the daily streak standard and something small but meaningful. But longer term I absolutely would like a way to incentivise people who want to study more intensely. Whether that is via an increased daily streak target or something else.


    So I do plan to revisit this at some point! (I don't like to make concrete promises though given that I have a long todo list already)

  18. Make your own flash cards

    I would really love the ability to turn off auto generated flashcards and tell readlang when I want a flashcard made. Because it auto generates them, I find that it creates way too many flashcards and it's impossible for me to review them all. This means I have to go through and delete many of the auto generated flashcards, which is tedious and ineffective.

  19. Payment method: iDEAL

    Can you add iDEAL as a payment method to your options? You only have the option to pay by credit card and link. The link does not give the option to pay with iDEAL. iDEAL is a very common and reliable payment portal in the Netherlands, we always use it.

  20. 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!

    Thanks 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!
