I was sceptical, but this does look neat. I am German and trying to learn Spanish.
- Can one disable the voice when looking up words in the dictionary?
- Does it only work with Netflix or do you have plans for Amazon/Disney+?
- Do you have large costs (hosting?) and plan paid pro features?
- davidzweig 7y ago-- No, currently TTS always plays on opening dict. It would be simple to put an option, just maybe don't want to overload the user with options. If the issue is that the voice isn't very pleasent, maybe it's better to address that. -- Just Netflix for now. We'll release a beta version for Youtube in about two weeks. Most of our users are in East Asia (75k in Korea), so, we'd look which services are popular there. -- Hosting costs, well, not too bad. We use firebase.. outgoing data is 10c per Gb, but, we might add a few nginx catches on a digital ocean VM (in different regions) for some endpoints to get this down, and reduce latency for dictionary. Machine translations are the main cost (it's actually a paid feature already).
- davidzweig 7y agoOh, wait. There is a way to open dict without TTS. In the settings, look at 'On Left Click'.
