   Thank you! Right now it is not costing me a lot of money. So hopefully if I provide enough value and a decent price it can be a sustainable project!

   These are some really awesome ideas for UX, thank you! And I agree. The value from "Pro" should be very clear. What do you think about the one-time payments? Do you think that works or should it be a subscription?

   I'm using AssemblyAI and Deepgram. AssemblyAI for the large languages and Deepgram for the smaller ones.

   Thanks! I decided on it because I think people are fed up with subscription systems and it was easy to implement. However, I made two sales (yay! first time ever) but I paid $20 today to DeepL. I might change it in the future.

   Thank you! It seems that the video is pretty well transcribed but it unluckily selected segments with a few words missing :/

   Thank you! I'm trying to push new updates to a sub-reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fluentsubs/ . Simply adding support for manually transcribing videos should be quick to add. However, it also greatly d

   Thank you! It should store the word and the sentence so that rehearsal is always with both. I focussed a lot on European languages at first so the support for the Asian languages is a bit lacking. The only thing I did so far was changing th

   Thank you for trying and the feedback! I'm working on improving the feedback. It is a bit confusing since some words are very similar so you have no idea what went wrong. I checked the Italian video. But I don't fully understand:

   Thanks! > Split Spanish between Spain and Latin America Will do! > Add difficulty levels (consider speaking speed and vocabulary used) I'm working on splitting it up in easy/normal videos. That should be do-able to assess. &

    Will do. I also like the click to place more than dragging & dropping.

    Thanks! Competing with the giant like Duolingo is hard. But I believe that there is an edge, especially if these transcription models keep improving. I find them quite good already but simple mistakes are very off-putting.

    Thanks! It is available on Desktop immediately after you finish a segment. I'm thinking of bringing it back to mobile. I made it a toggle to save some space on small devices

    Thanks for reporting! I'll fix the Nginx version exposure. Yes, the server got knocked out. I was not expecting this much traffic hah. I already upgraded it but I have an NLP server with 10 language models loaded and it seems to be gri

    Oh I thought I disabled that. Sorry about it. I'll remove it.

    Thanks for trying, and sorry about that. I thought that the videos for Finnish where on a decent enough level (only checked one). I'm afraid the transcription quality is not on par yet for Finnish. I'll add a warning for the small

    Agreed. That's why the exercises are only there for a couple of selected languages. But even there it can be tricky. The model is less confident in Dutch than in English, so I have to experiment a bit with what is best for having a var

    I agree that channels should be checked more carefully. I initially added two news channels per language. But some of those are pretty horrible (like Skynews). I'll put some more time in adjusting the channels. For example, TF1 is real

    Oh wow, I think this is a cross platform bug where I dumbly assumed that strings were equal without normalizing it. I'll fix it! Thanks!

    Thanks for trying! You can hide the video by clicking the video button.

    Aj, sorry about that. I think it is YouTube blocking you. I didn't think of that edge case yet so I think my app will keep trying to play the video. Thanks for the report.

    Yes, will do that. Thanks for the suggestion!

    No I let the LLM filter on "non-war and non-politics" but I don't have a ton of content available (yet) so it might picked something that was not great. Which language did you try?

    by ph4evers 2y ago

    There are no manual steps. But it is hard to gatekeep quality. The transcription models work well for the large languages but not so much for the smaller ones.

    Hah thanks for the suggestion. I'll make it more strict!

    Probably YouTube is blocked by the corporate firewall. Or my whole domain?

    by ph4evers 2y ago

    That's a bit unfortunate, sorry about that! I only checked English, French, Dutch and German and assumed that Spanish would be OK. Was this for drag & drop. And do you maybe have the video? Maybe I need to tune the quality threshol

    Thanks! And yes I'll add it soon. I'm Dutch so I could validate the videos. > Was this related to the amount of content available? Yes, Portuguese is available in the app, but I only transcribe the Easy Portuguese videos for no

    Thanks for trying. Yes this is on the roadmap. I think it is more intuitive for phones to click, and then hit submit instead of dragging (especially with large fingers hah)

    Thank you! And great suggestions! I focussed first on European languages as I'm learning French. But I'll put some more effort in improving the Japanese experience since it seems to be very popular. > but if there's an int

    Thanks for trying! Sorry about that. I've changed the daily exercise to an easier one for Japanese. Right now it takes random videos from all levels for the exercises, but I'm working on creating one simple one and a more challeng
