Hej, I made FisherLoop[1] to learn Swedish. FisherLoop are interactive audiobooks where I use TTS with word level timestamps to highlight the words as they are spoken. This helps me pick up on pronounciation and grammar in a, for me, natural way. Additionally, I added flashcards from the books + word lookup. I am adding new books right now. If you have any requests: public domain books, which are around one hour reading time let me know :)

I am using cerebras for book translations and verb extraction and all LLM related tasks. For TTS I am using cartesia. I have played around with Elevenlabs and they have slightly natural sounding TTS but their pricing is too steep for this project. Books would cost a couple of hundred euros to process.

Is there such a thing for Spanish?

Maybe I should have clarified, in addition to Swedish, I have added Spanish, Italian, German, and French.

I'm interested but I'm not getting the confirmation email.

Did you use the hi@... email? I am seeing a hard bounce for that email. Not sure how to debug that right now. All my emails I have tested have worked. Could you try a different email while I debug?
