hey HN! this is my attempt at language learning with audiobooks. it synchronizes text to speech, and shows translations. the audiobooks themselves are all public domain.

got all of the audio alignment, translation, and asset generation working on my gaming computer. pretty happy with the pipeline, except for the sometimes subpar translations.

if anyone is interested in the details I am happy to write them up!

if you are into language learning, I would love to hear if this could be useful to you!

Hi. Interesting idea.

Just a heads up: the text is not displayed on my Firefox (140.8.0esr 64bit, Win11) however. On Edge it is displayed correctly.

thanks for pointing that out. should have checked availability of view animation timelines.

will make sure it falls back to fully visible text.

got that fixed, now. thanks again for pointing it out!
