LingoChunk is a tool that converts native language audio into Anki flashcards and shadowing practice, supporting 15 input languages and over 30 output languages.
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.<p>Another feature I use a lot is selecting an audio fragment, sending a predefined prompt to an AI to "explain grammar" or "explain nuances of meaning" and I still experimenting with prompts.<p>And because shadowing is so easy I also use it as a player to improve my English pronunciation. (I am not a native English speaker.)<p>I made a quick video showing the workflow for creating Anki cards and shadowing: <a href="https://youtu.be/TaR58uuDBvU?si=o5aGLAi2S-BZ7Zy9" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/TaR58uuDBvU?si=o5aGLAi2S-BZ7Zy9</a><p>The app supports 15 input languages (Japanese and Chinese are the latest experimental additions), and more than 30 output languages.<p>I would really appreciate it if you could try it <a href="https://lingochunk.com/try" rel="nofollow">https://lingochunk.com/try</a>. I know there are other tools with similar functionality but I created something that fits my workflow and it is fun to build.<p>Also I struggled to find public domain audio for the try page. I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to public domain sources (I used LibriVox, Wikimedia and FSI courses), or if you're a creator, let me feature some of your own recordings with credits and links.
This article explains how to automatically convert stumbling points encountered during GPT-Live speaking practice into Anki cards, reinforcing expressions through spaced repetition, forming a closed loop of "practice → extraction → review", and improving the efficiency and traceability of oral learning.
Vocal Slice is a desktop application for audio editing that uses on-device Whisper transcription to allow users to select and export clips by highlighting text in the transcript, designed for podcasters and voice professionals.
