I highlight some text when browsing the web on my computer
I import it on LingQ by creating my own lesson using the web-app
Read it on LingQ instead of reading outside LingQ.
Then I have another piece of text, and another, and another, while I’m reading some stuff in different apps, like ChatGPT, pages, etc.
The problem?
I want to do some on-going reading using LingQ without copying all text and import it at the end of the day.
I want to read on LingQ, then search for some related stuff, add it to the lesson and read it, search for other stuff, add a piece of text, and so on.
Right now, I put some text together and create one lesson that I will delete at the end of the day.
Is there a quick way to add text to that lesson?
Without having to edit the lesson, regenerate the lesson, go at the end of it, add some text, etc. etc.
How about adding a paragraph spacing at the end of the lesson and then pasting the entire text there? I think if you don’t regenerate you’ll only get the TTS audio in sentence mode, but this seems to be the quickest way overall.
I need to try that next time. You are saying, I click the lesson, I click edit the lesson, I attach a long text, for example, at the end of the last paragraph, and so on.
I just find the process to handle short text with LingQ a bit complicated. Because basically we need to generate a new lesson for each short text, or doing all these workarounds for adding some extra text.
For example, with the browser extension, we can highlight some text and import it. This is faster than doing it manually. The highlighting is even faster than importing an entire article.
It would be nice if we could have a faster option to handle chunks of selected text anywhere in our computer.
You click edit lesson and then on the last sentence, and there’s an option for additional paragraphs. The system will automatically divide the new text into sentences, and when you open the lesson again, if you already finished everything before, it starts from the new text.
Thanks, I didn’t know that option, I’ve never used it. It’s not quicker than regenerating the lesson, there are always many clicks to do. But it might be more useful if the lesson will start from the new text. I’ll use it next time I’ll have more pieces of text to add and I’ll see how it goes.
@zoran It would be useful if we could add new blocks of text directly from the lesson view without having to open anything, using the 3 dots above. Below “edit lesson”, something like “add new paragraph”, then refresh and voilà.
