Feature Req: Autoplay sentence

A feature request:

When reading through a story in sentence mode - is it possible that we can autoplay the audio for that sentence - as we load the page on the new sentence.

I do this for every sentence but have to manually play it - which is tiring.

Reviewing the article suggestions that are populating as I write this ticket - it seems a fair amount of people have requested this in the past.

When would we reach critical threshold to add this to a sprint for development? I would imagine it is fairly easy coding.

I’d like this as an option with every reading mode. Many times I forget to turn on the audio, and once I’ve forgotten, I don’t like to restart the lesson. If I could set it to start the audio as soon as I load the lesson, it would be a great addition. However, it must only be an option - I can easily see some users being annoyed by it if it were forced.

If this feature is implemented, I expect it to be optional. When going through my own uploads, I usually play the full lesson audio and read through the sentence mode. I think this makes it easier to notice any mistakes or missing text and to correct them.

Agreed - always an option. Toggle on or off as desired.

This feature has been also requested on canny more than a year ago. It would be definitely useful.

You can vote for this feature directly here.

A single short cut to go to the next sentence, show the translation and play the audio (or any variation) would be useful. I am never comfortable recommending lingq without it.

Thanks

Unfortunately having some issues signing up for Canny. Says it is unable to confirm my identity.

Will keep trying.

Was hoping Devs could prioritize - as it does seem to have been requested for some time and has support
