   Really interesting, does it totally based on gemini? seems the data is not accurate of my account.

   That makes a lot of sense, it really highlights the diffences in learning stages. My current tool if primarily designed for intermediate language learners who have already learned some basic words, but still in the 'accumulation phase&

   This is quite a great idea, as a native Chinese speaker, i want to say this is the way very similar how we learned Chinese when we were kids. On the other hand, the Chinese writing system is logographic (or ideographic), unlike the English

    Fair point, the UI was partly AI-assisted, and the design is not our strongest area at the moment but something we are actively improving. Appreciate the feedback.

    Thanks for pointing this out. You're absolutely right that 'Zero Privacy Trace' was a bit too absolute. I’ve just updated the website to be more precise: we use enterprise-grade APIs where they said data is not used for train

    I can totally understand your concerns. At the moment, Lingoku browser extension does send text to LLms for processing, we don't sell user data, but i agree that simply saying 'trust us' isn't sufficient. Supporting loca

    Thanks for you feedback, agreed. The current version of word definition is somewhat rudimentary. right now we supported four languages(English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean), but we dont take much time to optimize for each language yet. Our th

    I don't know a tool like this. But this feature seems to be a fairly common requirement; we can consider add a switcher to implementing it.

    You're absolutely right, we typically spend more time our our phones for most people. we're also preparing to port this feature to mobile, possibly based on the mobile version of Firefox browser.

    Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it. I tried the above words in Chrome, and got the same problem. sorry about that, our tool is far from perfect. this is a bug in the extension, we will fix it asap.

    I have a deep understanding of this point, a lack of vocabulary makes reading Japanese materials very difficult. For this scenario, we will translate the Japanese text completely into English first, then inject japanese words in to the engl

    we've considered using local llm, but the problem is that for a better user experience, we will add user's new vocabulary list, then inject words based on the list, it's hard to do this on local. We will seriourly consider th

    Thanks for the feedback, actually we use furigana to show the pronunciation, we use LLM to produce the word explanation, this may be due to LLM instability, could you help tell me the word of this case on your side.

    Thanks for feedback, in some cases, we use a NLP lib to detect to language of the word since we support multiple languages, this may be due to language detection failed on some words.

    Thanks for your feedback! LLM's makes this kind of words substitution more easier and accurate. we have also tried some methods like NLP, but effect is mediocre, but if we want use it in specific scenarios, NLP maybe more efficient. Th
