Some of LingQ’s competitors allow users to import transcripts from streaming services like Disney Plus and Rakuten Viki. I think it would be cool if LingQ added support for those streaming sites as well, giving users more options outside of Netflix and YouTube.

Hi, I like to add notes while learning. For example i ask chatgpt for a word breakdown. And add the root of the word or some extra info (differences between 2 words with almost same meaning for example) as a note. However, i cant see quickly which word has a note and which doesnt, which makes it you have to make a lot of extra clicks just to see if a word has a note. Solution: add a small * or 1 on top/to the right of a word so we know it includes a note. Then if we see the word in a text we instantly know it has some extra info. Would improve the user experience quite a bit :) Hope its possible! Also I'm a new user, so i'd like to take this moment to say thank you for the app, enjoying it a lot so far!

OpenAI just released new, more accurate audio models to replace Whisper: https://openai.com/index/introducing-our-next-generation-audio-models/ Whisper often struggles with transcriptions in LingQ, especially for imports with accents, background noise, or certain languages. These new models are faster, more multilingual, and more accurate. Could LingQ consider switching to them? It would improve import quality and give users a smoother experience when working with audio. This seems like a great upgrade to keep LingQ ahead of the curve. Would love to hear your thoughts—thanks!

It would save a lot of time to be able to upload a whole Course/Book at once. Select to upload all of the text files, select to upload all of the audio files: same-named text and audio are linked together and the filenames auto-populate to the name of the lesson.

When importing eBooks, allow users to manually define chapter start and end points. Alternatively, implement an AI-powered chapter detection feature to automatically identify chapter breaks within the eBook file. This will allow LingQ to create lessons based on chapters instead of arbitrary word counts, making it easier for users to track their progress and complete reading goals on a per-chapter basis.

"Consider adding a feature that allows learners to listen to their own voices when they practice speaking and want to hear how they sound."

If I already know "pen", it would be nice if it didn't show "pens" as a new word Especially frustrating in korean since the same word shows up so many times because of different conjugations

This feature would add a small, optional “Grammar” button next to LingQs or highlighted phrases. Tap it, and boom: a quick, plain-language explanation of the grammar behind that sentence, powered by a lightweight AI model (like OpenAI’s o3-mini). Still confused? Ask a follow-up question. “Why is this subjunctive?” “Could I use a different tense here?” The AI responds in real time, keeping you immersed and informed. Why This Matters • Keeps learners in the flow. No more bouncing between LingQ and grammar sites. Get the answers where you are, when you need them. • Deepens understanding. Grammar explanations turn passive reading into active learning. You’re not just guessing—you get it. • Feels like magic. Tap a sentence, ask why it works the way it does, and get an answer. It’s like having a personal tutor sitting in your pocket. Why Now? The tech is already here. Small AI models can handle this beautifully without slowing things down or breaking the bank. All LingQ needs is to build the bridge. This feature would instantly level up LingQ’s value—not just as a reading tool, but as a full-on language learning companion

Hi team, the Korean TTS on Android is so bad it interferes with language learning. I have had to disable it. It would be great if you could implement some kind of TTS upgrade. The Naver Papago Korean voices api offers 3 or 4 free Korean voices (or at least they were free to me when I used one of them to generate the audio for my Korean anki deck.) Of course the poor quality TTS may be a problem for other languages as well. If you can't afford a better TTS engine for LingQ, maybe you could allow people to use the TTS engine in their devices. It was quite easy to install a good Korean TTS voice on my Samsung android phone, but I don't know how to get LIngQ to use the device TTS instead of whatever it has built in.

Suggested by StewartLikesLingQ on this post: https://www.lingq.com/en/community/forum/open-forum/language-reactor-new-valuable?post_id=329313 "It would be even better if LingQ had it's own plugin like language reactor allowing us to LingQ/Mark Known Words on Youtube/Netflix subtitles without needing to import them into LingQ which would save a lot of time. For now I have to use LingQ side by side and it's a hassle or else I just have to read through the subs on LingQ first and then watch the video with Language Reactor after or vice versa."
