This is great, I’ve been wanting something like this for a while!

A few points of early feedback after 15min of listening with only “Show Translation” on:

1. Showing only a fragment of each sentence at a time feels hard to follow as in scanning to the start of the next fragment (which can jump around vertically) and lacking the context of previous words

Would you consider a view that shows more of the surrounding words but, like focus mode in iA Writer, grays out the non-current fragment?

2. There are sometimes gaps in transcription/translation

3. I couldn’t find my favourite Spanish podcast, Radio Ambulante, which I feel would probably be quite a popular one for Spanish learners — Any particular reason?

Thanks for the feedback. I can see that there is "Radio Ambulante" podcast from NPR, is it that one?

I see that the search function is a little bit buggy, if you copy paste "Radio Ambulante" in the search bar you should see it.

Yes, found it, thank you!

(For reference, it didn't show up with search term "radio ambulante" but did with "Radio Ambulante")
