Every video is transcribed to get much better transcripts than the closed captions. I filter on high quality transcripts, and afterwards a LLM selects only plausible segments for the exercises. This seems to work well for quality control and seems to be reliable enough for these short exercises.
Would love your thoughts!
I tried Spanish and Japanese. A tiny recommendation for Japanese: it would be nice to have both kanjis and hiraganas in the same block for the word choices. That way, you can decouple the learning of kanjis from the pure listening.
Great work, really!
Is there a beginner mode?
> 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 now so I don't have a lot of content available at the moment.
I'm curious now: how do you transcribe the videos? And how do you align the transcript with the video (in terms of timing)? Are there libraries doing that?
So there was no way to play the video.
Also that blinding flash of white when it starts is unnecessary cruelty
This is awesome :)
I had to (was able to) slow the videos to 1/2 speed (no tengo muchas parablas dontcha know) but this is much better training than Duolingo
