Searching for French texts and getting Spanish?
I'm currently looking for French fiction, difficulty B2 to C2, and the top result is in En el aeropuerto. Beneath is a french article followed by En la Escuela. Is this only on my end or is there an issue with the search algorithm?
1 voteSorry about this. If you notice this happening again, please share links to the specific texts with me at steve@readlang.com

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.
1 votePlease check out this mode allowing you to delete flashcards very easily while reading which isn't exactly what you're asking for but may help: https://blog.readlang.com/2023/06/09/delete-on-untranslate.html
Let me know if you find it helpful or not!

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.

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!

Place a Next Page link on top of the page
Sometimes we don't need to scroll down to the bottom page if we just want to click to the next page. Its faster and easier to jump from page to page.
1 voteMaybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but how do you know you want to navigate to the next page to find what you're looking for if you haven't scrolled down to see all the results on the first page? How do you know that what you're looking for is at the bottom of the first page?
Is it that you've visited the page recently and therefore are pretty confident about where to locate the text you're looking for?
Could there be a different solution that would make the result you are looking for appear on the first page of results? e.g. a filter to hide completed texts maybe?

Fix highlighting when it includes markdown/italicized text
At the moment, highlighting a phrase for translation fails when it includes both regular text and formatted text. If a sentence says, e.g., "I can't believe it was her idea" (raw text:
I can't believe it was *her idea*), trying to select the whole phrase won't work.1 vote -
The synching of words from videos doesn't work anymore. Something weird happened from interface programmer's end.
I dedicated. lot of time synching the words with the video I managed to find, including the proper text subtitles and now it seems all the synch is off phase. This is a new issue and I 'm using read langue specifically for this synch text-video option. Now I'm in stand by. Can this be solved?
1 voteSorry about this. Nothing has changed on Readlang's end related to this, but maybe something changed on YouTube's end? I just tried in Chrome for macOS and it seems to work for me.
Please can you let me know which device and browser (with version number if possible) you are using. Also any other information which might help to investigate it.

Audio on a card in typing mode
Smply enable the speaker button on the flashcard in typing mode(or even in guess mode)
So you can firsyt listen to the answer, then type it correctly spelled.
(the speaker button is now only enabled after giving the answer)
https://i.postimg.cc/jdhNT5qn/screenshot-684.png1 voteThe idea of the typing mode in the flashcards is to test your recall of the word/phrase. If you get to hear the pronunciation then it's less a test of recall and more of a listening practice. This could be valuable too! I'm going to look at overhauling the flashcards and/or creating new learning experiences this year, so I'll certainly consider this!

distinguish highlights with added contexts
The highlighting should distinguish by color between words added and context added to their respective flashcards.
Better explanation is here:

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.

Back button when reading book
On Android, the back button when reading a book from the library is inconsistent. Initially it goes back to the library but if you read a few pages it will go back to the previous page and eventually to the library, but that makes it save your position on the first page that you read. I think it should just go back to the library always, otherwise it becomes mostly useless.
1 voteIf you are talking about the browser's back button, then it will simply return to the pages you viewed in your current session. For a more predictable back button, please use:
1. The top left "<R" button to leave the text and return to the Readlang home page or library page (whichever page you opened the text from).
2. The left margin or bottom left "<" button to return to the previous page of the book.
I hope that helps!

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!

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!

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.

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.
1 voteYou can currently use the number keys "1" (Not at all), "2" (Almost), and "3" (Yes) to give feedback on whether you remembered a word. That way you can progress through a whole flashcard session without using the mouse at all.
