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?

I'd like to have the possibility to increase the value of the daily target.
The defoult value is insignificant for me, because I read a lot.
1 voteThanks 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)

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.
1 voteThanks for your feedback! Great to hear that you're finding it useful.
Premium subscribers are able to change the voice via the AA tab in the sidebar as shown here: https://blog.readlang.com/2023/09/28/read-aloud.html. Which voices are available will very much depend on your device and browser though.

Remove multiple entries when you de-select words
When I click something like a sentence like: I like goats very much.I'll highlight:
I like goats - then I might de-select it and then highlight
I like goats very - then I might de-select it and then highlight
I like goats very muchAnd then when i check my word list I have 3 entries that are almost identical. So my point is when I de-highlight/deselect you shouldnt save all those variations of entries?

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.

Add a few languages...
Hi Steve, based on the amount of related ideas I'm sure this is nothing novel, but I have been studying a fair amount of minority languages similar to ones I already speak, and no reading aid with vocabulary tracking works with them natively*.
Namely:
Low German/Saxon
West Frisian (*LanguageCrush actually does support Frisian)
Faroese
Northern SámiAttempts to use them in tools that don't really support them, e.g., Readlang or LingQ just don't work very well, and I don't find the reader of configurable tools like LWT/Lute nearly as good as those mentioned above.
You'd have a lifetime sub from…

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.Source: https://www.accountiod.com/paypal-403-forbidden-error/

Integrate the APP with a well frequented "open" forum on language learning
Great app. I can't stop making publicity for it, although I am not a stakeholder ;-) but you, Steve, are really the first and still the only one who designed an apps starting from a user's needs, not just wanting to do any better than those hundreds of copies/remakes of bad and incomplete LL-apps.
Do I see a forum somewhere to discus READLANG ? if not, you may want to have a look at our forum, duome.eu where we have plans to open a discussion forum just for Readlang and maybe for other LL-apps too.
You may also email me…

Scroll to current location when editing text in sidebar
I'd like to fix obvious mistakes in the translated book I'm reading, but opening the side bar to edit the text and then finding the spot I'm at in order to change it is not practical for a novel, particularly on a phone. Would be nice if it could auto-scroll down to match the top of your current page when you opened the text editor.

Furigana for japanese
For the japanese learning mode, it would be very helpful to have furigana(the word's pronuciation writting in hiragana) above the words. It is very slow to check the pronunciation through the definition tab
3 votesI've added furigana as an experimental feature. Read more here: https://forum.readlang.com/t/calling-japanese-and-chinese-learners-please-try-new-furigana-and-pinyin-feature-experimental/284

Track time of how long you've been reading a book/article
It would be nice if you could automatically track time while a book/article is open. And then when you click out of the book/article the tracker would stop. This way you can see how long each book takes you to read.

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…

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 ...

Level of proficiency
Hi,
I only wanted to know how you calculate the level (A1 to C1) for a text? That would be very useful so I can justify wich text to use with my students.
Thanks a lot
2 votesThe difficulty of each text is calculated via quite a crude approach described here: https://readlang.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/722085-how-is-the-difficulty-of-a-text-calculated
To be honest, they should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Allow to separate all vocab from starred vocab specifically in each different book/article
Vocab for each book/article is already separated. However, I like to only add my starred vocab to anki. I add vocab lists for each book I finish. It would be nice to be able to select all starred vocab but specifically the starred vocab only for that book that I completed.

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…
