This is a great idea! I was hoping for a way to upload screenshots (for personal use) of webtoons for a visual related to the Korean text without having to have another tab open for the visual.
Would it be potentially possible to put multiple pictures in one lesson? (I’m thinking specifically for the case of “episodes” of webtoons and having multiple panels.) Or would it be one image per lesson?
This reply has directions for adding images. But again, I can’t seem to recreate what is being described here. I don’t see an “add image paragraph” button anywhere, either.
I mainly see a lot of people requesting to use photos as hints (which is kind of a cool idea, too), other image related topics, and a mention that people don’t technically have a learning style (i.e., Visual vs Kinesthetic, etc.).
Note: I’ll update this reply if I can find more information.
P.S. Maybe I should just be satisfied with including URLs in the lesson and notes sections of sentences, and having another window open for images,
Edit: P.P.S. I [put] in a request to have them add manual image import to the import options, but unless it has support for multiple images, it would be pretty tedious to import a single image as a lesson for a comic/webtoon/etc, but it doesn’t hurt to try
When has LingQ doesn’t have that functionality ever stopped me?
Looks like they removed this feature because it was underused and confusing. The other post was using some sort of code tag in the text to show images but that appears to be legacy. If I find any API endpoints that support images in the lessons then why not…**
I don’t expect much to come of it—since they’ve already gone so long without the feature, but it’s there for them to consider one day.
Edit: Here's how I pictured using images — if it helps with your future implementation:
It would be kind of cool to see the image as an additional popup window on Rooster Reader Premium as it scrolls through the given sentence, too. (Similar to how the video popup works in LingQ/Rooster Reader.)
→ GUI Updates (Drag Handle, Vertical Scroll on Display Box)
→ Progress Display of your uploads
Patch 1.11
→ Upload and split a text file into multiple lessons based on words. (100-4000)
→ If the last lesson is 50% or less in length it appends to the previous lesson.
→ Each section marked with (section number) at the end.
→ You can pair this with Rooster Lesson Editor Premium to create Text to Speech audio lessons with different voices for certain lines.
→ Upload and transcribe .mp3
→ GUI update
Maybe I could add… If you have an image URL in the notes for that sentence it displays it as an additional box for the duration of the timestamp on Rooster Reader Premium.
Is it possible to get a feature where I can upload a folder of audio files to do automatic audio transcribe? Manually loading all the audio transcriptions I want is a super big problem for me right now, there are lots of them!
Patch 1.13
Changed upload and Transcribe to ‘Bulk upload and Transcribe’
This transcribes the mp3s one at a time and posts them to LingQ
Available on Firefox and Manual install
