Absolutely. Honestly I didn't mention the audio player because I haven't tried it yet. Do you have any favorite type of text you like to read together with the audio?
@@jz4901Hello. You mention "whole book" - but I assume we can also just upload individual chapters (as long as we already have the audio files divided up that way)?
Thanks for making this video. It showed up in my recommended and this is all just great. I've used LingQ in the past and I really like it - but I have trouble justifying its cost due to my current financial circumstances. I found it super easy to install as a newbie Linux user and it took less than 2 minutes. Now I get to engage in one of my favourite ways of language learning again. I consider this my Christmas gift -- thank you!!
Lute is REALLY great. I hope more people learn about this. Lute is not perfect, but it's improving every day and if Lute's community grows, a lot more people will help improve it.
Wow, this is great. I could never install LWT on my linux because it makes me feel wayyyyyy to stupid. But this was actually easy to install with only a few problems that i felt confident in solving. The image function and parent words are the real MVP changes in Lute
@@_arman_ Great question, I try not to translate so having an image instead of a translation for a word really helps. I like to maximize my output by describing images, so if images are part of my input, I like to think images can help my output. I also think it is a remnant from when I used Rosetta Stone on my first PC!
@vaunwarbear9130 This is fascinating- I appreciate the response! Would you mind elaborating/clarifying on what you mean by 'I like to maximise my output by describing images'? I use visualisation and images a lot in my memorisation and general learning, so I'm trying to understand why you avoid translation because I'd like to experiment with your approach
@@_arman_ Of course, when I am not in a session with a tutor, I like to write. Output without talking to another person. I prefer writing about things I see, so I get images from google images or my camera roll even. Then I just write a paragraph or two about the image in my TL. I use different images so I am not using the same vocab over and over. I like avoiding translating in my head because it slows me down. I used to have problems writing because I would want to use a specific word in English then try to translate it to Spanish but if I didn't know the word in SP, I would get tripped up. But if I am just writing and thinking in SP, the thoughts flow. I don't get tripped up on words I don't know because I can just describe what I am thinking with easier words. Instead of trying to remember the word "vínculo" I could just say "amistad fuerte" because I am in the groove!
Absolutely loving the latest update to Lute! The inclusion of an audio player has truly revolutionized the game - it's a game-changer, for sure. The addition not only enhances the overall user experience but also significantly improves accessibility, making the app more versatile and engaging. The beauty of having an integrated audio player cannot be overstated. It adds another layer of interaction and immersion that was sorely needed. This feature propels Lute ahead, setting a new benchmark for what we can expect from such applications in the future. I'm genuinely excited to see how this upgrade continues to evolve and what other innovative features might be added. Hats off to the development team for continually seeking ways to improve and expand the app’s capabilities. Keep up the fantastic work!
@@is4ndroide Probably French-I haven't had classes for two years but happen to have a use case for it in a research project. And also German for older literature/advanced texts.
Thanks for the video, I have never heard of this kind of learning before. It seems like a great tool that shows a lot of promise for future development despite how well fleshed out (although simple) it appears already. I see a newer video from you going over the install process too, so a big thanks in advance for that . I use both Windows (PC) and Linux (Laptop) so the guide is much appreciated.
I love the possibility save imágenes not just the direct translation of a word. Also I would like to know what languages are available? Cuz I'm learning Korean and Thai
The preconfigured languages in Lute are Arabic, Classical Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. You can definitely use it for Korean and Thai, but you'll need to set them up manually. It's not a terribly complicated process, I might be able to help! Or if you encounter any challenges during the setup process, there's a helpful community on Discord that can provide assistance :)
Thanks for this video! I have a question, do you think Lute could be use even from a beginner level or is it more recommended for an intermediate level? I find it challenging to find books easy enough to understand so that I don't feel overwhelmed at my level. :)
That's a great question. (I wrote Lute.) I think it _can_ be used at a beginner level, but it should be tied to whatever beginner material you're using already. I was using it for Vietnamese and was marking every word as status = 1 (new word), but if you keep reading material at your level, those new words become not-so-new. The most important thing is not to try stuff that is far above your level -- it's tempting, but it's not a good use of your time.
Very good video. A couple suggestions. The animations around the image of you are distracting. When you demonstrate the software remove your image so we can see the whole screen.
There is a page in the lute manual about importing terms from LWT or elsewhere. You first export from LWT, fix the data to match the needed format, and then import. Cheers!
This sounds very interesting, thanks a lot for the video! Does Lute work for any target language, as long as you have digital text and dictionary files?
since youre learning german like me id like to ask you about trennbare verben. for example "hör das auf" is there a way to register hör and auf together as its original form "aufhören"
Unfortunately this can't be done yet. Lute's creator has explained that it is a feature that's proven very hard to code in. Maybe in a future update, though!
While I agree that it would be great to see it implemented, I have to say that I still love using Lute for German! I just save them when they're not separated and then ignore them when I realize the verb has a second part later. A good idea is to find another method to capture and study separable verbs specifically, which in my case Anki helps me with.@@memoboy4141
According to the tutorial, you can register "hör damit auf" and tell it that "aufhören" is a parent. But that would then trigger only for that sequence of words, and not for example for "hör mit dem Gejammer auf".
This is well presented! I have been using LingQ now for about a year, and I am ready for ‘something else’. I don’t want to go over the reasons here… I will check Lute in the coming days, and try it out. When I see your presentation, it looks to be exactly what I would like to have. Wish you success!
Some dictionaries can’t be embedded in s. You can make the dictionary popup by prefixing the url with an asterisk … it’s not great but it works. It should work with Russian … happy to answer questions in the discord.
Too bad it doesn't have SOUND. I think it's very important for any language specially the ones I'm in (different writing systems). It already access Google Translate, it could use it as a source. so you could select and hear each word and/or the whole sentence. Also it could use right away google Translate for the definitions too, since it's better for certain languages anyway. Saving manually it's also a drag. Let alone typing it. It could just automatically copy form the dictionary.
If you choose a dictionary or translator that supports audio, you can listen to the pronunciation. Lute is quite customizable, and you can use Google Translate instead of a dictionary for definitions if you prefer. Automatically copying from the dictionary might be challenging to implement, but who knows what the future holds. I think it's still a fantastic tool that really amps up your learning when compared to old-school methods like reading from e-books or physical books!
@@is4ndroide Maybe the developers of Lute could meet with the developers of Yomichan and Animelon. Check it out. If you mix the 3 together it's just perfect.
@@JohnnyLynnLeeyou could use Forvo as the first dictionary, that way you've got native audio for a bunch of words 2 clicks away. Google Translate is pretty jarring, especially in lesser-known languages imho.
Wow, Lute looks amazing. Unfortunately, I’m 56 and not computer or tech savvy at all. I just looked at the link for installing it and I literally have no clue as to what do! I don’t even know what it is saying at all. (And I’m a pretty educated person). I just want to go to App Store and click download or install on my iPad! A great program like this will not be useful to me if I can’t even figure out how to install it. Looks like I may be paying for LinQ.
Lute doesn't have a straightforward installation process like an App Store download, and currently, there's no easy-to-install version for iPad. However, I've just uploaded a tutorial for installing it on Windows. It might be a bit technical, but you can take it step by step. If you decide to give it a try on a Windows computer, the tutorial could help you get started!
Great to hear you found it helpful! Good resources are Wikipedia articles, Project Gutenberg for free books, or trying a quick Google search for '[target language] books online'. If you tell me your target language, I might be able to help you more!

Buenas! Por lo pronto sí puedo decirte que al final de cada página hay un botón para avanzar y otro que es una tilde verde.

Thank you! You had such an impact on my language learning when I found your LWT video, especially considering it was only one video, it helped tremendously. And now this update is the cherry on top. Thanks again and all the best to you. Mahalo!
I'm truly glad it's been helpful to you, it's a joy when new tools, especially free ones, enhance your learning process. And it's especially exciting to share it with others!
It's designed for desktop use and relies on technology not supported by mobile devices. While it's possible to set up a server on platforms like AWS and access it from your mobile device, this is a more advanced process and isn't detailed in the manual.
As of now, there isn't a direct connection between Lute and Anki. However, you have the option to export data from Lute and then import it into Anki. The creator is considering tools to streamline the synchronization between Lute and Anki desktop, but this feature is not available at the moment.
Some people used Termux to install on Android. There's no native iphone app. I've left Lute running on my Mac when on a wifi network, and can access my machine by IP address from my iphone if my iphone is on the same wifi network. But I do prefer reading on my desktop mac.
I've just uploaded a video with installation instructions for Lute on Windows. You can find the details there; it should guide you through the process. Lute is built in Python and includes its own web server and database, eliminating the need for tools like xampp or wampp.
What is the 1-5 familiarity scale for? The programme works in exactly the same way, no matter my familiarity level of a given word, am I correct? What am I supposed to do with all these coloured words?
What I do is, if I come across a word I've literally never seen before and want to learn it, I save its meaning and put it at the lowest familiarity level. If the word appears again at some point and I successfully recognise what it means, I move it up a level. And so on, until it's a well-known word and I'm confident I'll remember what it means. In this way, I kind of test myself with each word before I mark it as something I know. If I come across a word I've seen before but I have to use the dictionary to confirm its meaning initially, I might start that word at a level 3 of familiarity instead of the lowest and work from there. Hope that gives you an idea. There's many ways to use the levels and colours, though, that's just mine!
@@SzczeryPoliglota There's other ways you can use it if you don't want it to just be a motivation/progress tracker. You can use it to recognize when you're looking up the same words over and over again (then you can add them to Anki), or you maybe use the different colors to separate verbs, adjectives, nouns, etc. I'm not sure if Lute uses the 1-5 values when calculating your expected difficulty per next 1000 (which you can see when you hover over the known % in the book list), but it doesn't matter either way if you use them for another purpose. Alternatively, if you don't wanna use the color grades at all just tell Lute you 'know' every word on each page already (with the green checkmark) then you can just read it in black-and-white and bring up the dictionary when needed.
@@SzczeryPoliglota Hey there, it's not really to control motivation -- that's up to you. Some people like the way that classifying data helps them review. I usually mark new things as status 1 just by reflex, but if it's similar to other stuff, I don't bother, I just pick something that feels right. Long term, I don't know if marking things with statuses really **matters** much, it sometimes feels like make-work. But it's fun and interesting sometimes to see something that was a "1" become less and less unfamiliar.
I'm not sure what you mean. The video has correct subtitles. I think TH-cam should be able to translate them into your language automatically with acceptable accuracy!
@@is4ndroide Sorry, my English is not very good. I mean lingq I think can display texts from youtube videos. In addition, you can also listen to it with the voices in the video.
It has a quite a few preconfigured languages, but you can add as many as you want to! Some might be harder to set up than others, but people on the Discord server can help you with tricky cases :)
Hey there, I wrote Lute, and this is a valid question! I don't know if it's "better" in general -- everything is subjective :-) -- but it's better for me. The key features for me are the parent terms, and term images, both of which I feel are dealbreakers. Also, I strongly dislike not having total control over my data -- too many software companies run into trouble and start imposing restrictions etc. If LingQ works for you, absolutely use it. Lute is just an option. (That it's free is necessary for some people, but not for everyone.) Cheers and best wishes!
I personally used LingQ in the past. It's an amazing app/website, no doubt about that. However, as JZ said, not having control over your data is "problematic" in a way. At least for me. I'm personally using both LUTE and LingQ, since LUTE isn't on mobile. And I must say, I find LUTE to be much more better than LingQ, if not superior to it. Not only can you choose what dictionary to use, but it also provides images to better understand and memorize vocabulary. Plus, LUTE is open-source and free. Making available to everyone who want to learn languages, but don't want to pay for a service with "questionable" services. (Yes, I'm referring to LingQ.)

You can use it to recognize when you're looking up the same words over and over again (then you can add them to Anki), or you maybe use the different colors to separate verbs, adjectives, nouns, etc. I'm not sure if Lute uses the 1-5 values when calculating your expected difficulty per next 1000 (which you can see when you hover over the known % in the book list), but it doesn't matter either way if you use them for another purpose. Alternatively, if you don't wanna use the color grades at all just tell Lute you 'know' every word on each page already (with the green checkmark) then you can just read it in black-and-white and bring up the dictionary when needed.
@@SzczeryPoliglota Hey there, it's not really to control motivation -- that's up to you. Some people like the way that classifying data helps them review. I usually mark new things as status 1 just by reflex, but if it's similar to other stuff, I don't bother, I just pick something that feels right. Long term, I don't know if marking things with statuses really **matters** much, it sometimes feels like make-work. But it's fun and interesting sometimes to see something that was a "1" become less and less unfamiliar.
Can you put in lute TH-cam videos transcript?
I'm not sure what you mean. The video has correct subtitles. I think TH-cam should be able to translate them into your language automatically with acceptable accuracy!
@@is4ndroide Sorry, my English is not very good. I mean lingq I think can display texts from youtube videos. In addition, you can also listen to it with the voices in the video.
How many languages does the program have?
It has a quite a few preconfigured languages, but you can add as many as you want to! Some might be harder to set up than others, but people on the Discord server can help you with tricky cases :)
It's looks great, but I prefer mobile phone reading 😢
So, there is one problem 😶 My text in korean is not highlighted. Would you tell what should I do?
Did you configure Korean correctly as a language in the settings?
@@is4ndroide I think I did
@@is4ndroide Idk. Would u tell How can I check this?
@@iramnoor6627 Do you use Discord? Joining the server might be the best idea, people can help you with installation problems there better than I can!
@@is4ndroide I don't use it
how in the world is this better than lingq
Hey there, I wrote Lute, and this is a valid question! I don't know if it's "better" in general -- everything is subjective :-) -- but it's better for me. The key features for me are the parent terms, and term images, both of which I feel are dealbreakers. Also, I strongly dislike not having total control over my data -- too many software companies run into trouble and start imposing restrictions etc. If LingQ works for you, absolutely use it. Lute is just an option. (That it's free is necessary for some people, but not for everyone.) Cheers and best wishes!
@@jz4901 Lovely response
I personally used LingQ in the past. It's an amazing app/website, no doubt about that. However, as JZ said, not having control over your data is "problematic" in a way. At least for me.
I'm personally using both LUTE and LingQ, since LUTE isn't on mobile. And I must say, I find LUTE to be much more better than LingQ, if not superior to it. Not only can you choose what dictionary to use, but it also provides images to better understand and memorize vocabulary. Plus, LUTE is open-source and free. Making available to everyone who want to learn languages, but don't want to pay for a service with "questionable" services. (Yes, I'm referring to LingQ.)
Is it possible to use lute on mobile?
It's designed for desktop use and relies on technology not supported by mobile devices. While it's possible to set up a server on platforms like AWS and access it from your mobile device, this is a more advanced process and isn't detailed in the manual.
No Android;(
Lute is an app?
Not in the traditional sense that you can download from an app store. More like an open-source tool, though not easily accessible on mobile devices.
Does Lute include Hebrew?
It should support it, it supports right to left languages. You might need to play around to get the right character parsing. Happy to help out.
Can get on the Discord :(
Any specific issues or error messages when trying to access the Discord server?
Sos argentino?
Así es
really feeling like a monkey installing Lute..
Trust me, I did too 😅 once I have the time I'll upload a step-by-step tutorial
There is no app
What do you mean
@@is4ndroide their no app to download so I can’t use this program on my phone
Right, it’s desktop only, no mobile app.
Lol
LWT -> LuWT -> Lute
LWT = Learning With Texts → Lute = Learning Using TExts
