Creator here. As I’m currently learning Spanish, I started reading the Harry Potter books out loud to my partner (a native speaker) a while ago to get exposed to new vocabulary and practice my pronunciation. From this, I then wanted to review those new words as flashcards, and I also discovered I enjoy writing brief summaries afterwards to practice actively producing content without the time pressure I might have whe…

Hello, any idea on the pricing once out of beta? I'd rather not start to use a service now and having to leave once it gets too pricey for me (times are tough).

I have no details to share at the moment, but the idea I have now is to at least always keep a free plan available. One option I'm considering is for a potential paid plan to then have more advanced features, such as fully customizable translations. That said, when that time comes, I believe it only fair to try and keep early users with at least the current functionality available to them.

Thanks. Any idea on an ETA?

Definitely! The main reason I haven't yet added support for any of those languages is just that I'm unfamiliar with them, to be honest, as I'd want to make sure they're _fully_ supported, both in terms of translations and corrections. Is there any language in particular you'd like to see added?

Chinese for me, but I'm sure there's others needing all 3. What is there to support? You've got to connect it to a translation service? Is there not just a Google API?
