Here is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repeat count. Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt…

I've been working on a little side project that combines Duolingo-like listening comprehension exercises with real content . 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!

Hello Hacker News, When learning foreign languages, I made the most progress by speaking them throughout the day, every day. So I made a site where you can *speak* to an AI language teacher to practice both listening and speaking. # The product *What I have now:* * Multilingual speech recognition: You can ask a question in English and get an answer in your target language. * Feedback on your grammar. * Suggestions: See examples of what to say next to keep the conversation flowing. * Speed: Choose a lower speed for beginners or a faster one for advanced levels. * Translations: Click to see a…

I've been learning Japanese for a few years and kept running into a similar problem. I'd find a video I wanted to learn from, hear a useful sentence, and then realise that turning that sentence into something I could study later was both time consuming and draining at times. I would end up jumping between a video player, subtitles/transcription, a dictionary, screenshots, audio clips and Anki. So I built SubSmith to bring that workflow together. You can drop a video or audio file into it, generate a transcript locally and then use the transcript alongside the media to: * look up words…

Hi! I'm living as an expat in France and I had a hard time following the news. So I've been working on Fluentsubs that turns YouTube content into a language learning experience. YouTube videos up to 20 minutes can be transcribed and listened to. At the same time I made it easy to lookup certain words and automatically add spaced repetition cards using the given context. This means that you can also rehearse with a real voice and not with AI dubs. This works especially well for the somewhat smaller languages that have a small track on Duolingo, and now are desperately looking for content…

Link: https://www.languagereactor.com/phrasepump About a year ago Me and Og started to make a flashcard function for 'Language Learning with Netflix'/Language Reactor, as exporting to Anki was a bit of a painful process for users. During development, some opportunities presented themselves: Why teach a word with a single saved sentence, when you can vary the sentence every session? Isn't sound the primary medium of language? Let's make it a big listening practice. Why do I have to go looking to words to save? Let the software suggest what to learn. It's called PhrasePump…

I built a simple text-to-speech converter at texttospeech.site Free tier: 10 generations/day, standard voices, no account needed. Pro tier: Neural2 voices, 2000 chars, downloadable MP3s. Stack: Next.js, Google Cloud TTS API, Vercel. The $2 domain was an SEO experiment after my speechtotext.xyz satellite drove 22% of traffic to my main product. Curious if exact-match keyword domains still work for TTS searches. Feedback welcome — especially on voice quality and UX.
