The TTS voice is too robotic and without emotion

Current Behavior: When a long lesson is automatically split into multiple parts, LingQ assigns the audio file only to the first part. As a result, parts 2 and onward lose the synchronized audio-text functionality, making it impossible to follow along with audio while reading—one of LingQ’s core strengths. Desired Behavior: To maintain the integrity of the reading-while-listening experience, LingQ should either: Avoid splitting long lessons altogether, or If splitting is necessary, ensure that the corresponding audio is correctly segmented and assigned to each part. This would significantly improve the usability of imported content like podcasts or audiobooks, where lesson length often exceeds platform limits. Thanks for considering this enhancement!

When in sentence mode, apart from the sentence, and on request its translation, there is also a note, indicated by a number, which one has to click on to see the note. I spent a previous request on always showing the translation or at least an option to do so. Now I have the same request for the sentence note. The note only shows on request (by clicking the number) and disappears as soon as one leaves the sentence. The note in my case usually explains something important in the sentence or its translation. Hiding it by default, serves no purpose at (for me). As others may think differently, safest bet is to make an option to hide it, and show it by default. The request is to always show the sentence note, if it is there, or at least create an option to always show the sentence note or always hide it. P.S.Apart from this request the number tends to disappear while navigating across words with the arrow, causing the note to be inaccessible.

When adding a lesson yourself, it's a bit difficult knowing which level it belongs to. It would be nice if this could be suggested automatically, perhaps after the transcription has been completed.

To aid in sentence mining it would be nice to be able to select a word and be offered a short list of that words usage in a variety of sentences. This would mimic a feature found in Language Reactor that I find useful.

This feature request proposes a new way to review LingQs using spaced repetition within the context of their original lessons. The system would recommend a daily set of lessons for review, chosen because they contain LingQs due for revision. Ideally, users could configure: The number of lessons to review every day The maximum lesson length (to avoid overly long content like full book chapters) Courses to avoid This will improve vocabulary retention by allowing users to review words and phrases in context. It would also make studying more efficient by automating lesson selection based on spaced repetition principles. The ability to limit lesson length ensures the reviews remain manageable and focused.

Im not sure what how to refer to this screen but its when listening and reading to a playlist item. When viewing a text with audio on mobile, the highlighted current spoken/shown text automatically stays in the middle of the screen to make it easier to follow along without having to scroll the page up. Or better yet, include a way to control where the text will be fixed on the screen so one could choose it higher or lower when its being used. Currently the text is fixed to the bottom of the screen and moves up when the next sentence is spoken, this makes it harder for follow and see whats coming next, especially when there is a bit of delay when automatically moving to the next paragraph

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!

there are some phrases not really always staying together, like pick something up, and I only want to creat a LingQ of “pick up”. And this problem is more deadly for the German separabale verbs(which are very commonly seprated and German learners cannot creat LingQ for them)

Propose adding a confirmation modal that appears by default when users move to a new page in the reader. The confirmation would ask the user if they wish to move their unlingqed tokens to known and provide an option to not show the modal in the future. In addition, propose adding a toggle to the settings for users to be able to re-enable this confirmation. Example: "You've completed a page! Move all unlingqed words to known? YES / NO __ Don't ask me again." This proposal attempts to solve a few issues at once and provides a few benefits besides: New users often don't know that paging (by default) marks all their blue lingqs as known, which frustrates them, especially as there's no easy way to reverse the action The move-to-known behavior is fairly destructive—it's extremely tedious or requires third-party scripts to reverse it. UX best practice recommends having confirmations for destructive actions like this, especially if they are unintuitive and would catch the user by surprise. The proposed behavior doesn't change the default intended use of the app, while also informing a new user how the app wants to behave Expert users may get annoyed by having a confirmation every time they change pages, so providing the option to opt out of future confirmations keeps this change for new users from affecting expert users' experiences.
