Roadmap

Here's what we're working on next. Check this page before sending feedback — your idea might already be on the way!

Reading on a phone

In progress

The player should always be within reach — no scrolling to find it, nothing clipped at the corners, and buttons big enough to hit. Alongside it, an option to follow along by scrolling without every word lighting up.

Start reading a video in seconds

In progress

Bring a YouTube video and begin reading it almost at once. Once import is that fast, your first session can start with something you chose and previewed yourself, instead of a lesson we picked for you.

Many more languages

Planned

Word-by-word karaoke used to depend on an alignment vendor that covered only a fraction of the world's languages. We now align audio to text ourselves, which lifts that cap — Italian, Polish, Turkish, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and roughly twenty more can follow.

A shelf worth reading

Planned

A curated collection of real material in each language — chosen, imported and ready — so you can start without having to go find something first.

See your progress

Planned

A record of what you've actually done — words read, minutes listened, lessons finished — so progress you can feel is progress you can also see.

Take a lesson with you

Planned

Download a lesson's audio and listen anywhere — a commute, a plane, or anywhere the signal isn't.

Built for schools

Planned

Everything a school needs to bring LangFontes to a class, including the safeguards required for teaching minors.

Annual plans

Planned

An annual plan alongside the monthly one.

Guided listening that comes to you

Planned

Guided listening invites you to begin a phase again when you reach the end of it — but today that means scrolling back to the top to accept. The invitation should meet you where you are.

Walk-through video

Completed Completed August 2026

A short video tour of LangFontes — onboarding, using the interface, and finding and importing from YouTube.

Tell us what you think

Completed Completed August 2026

A feedback button in the header, in the reader, and at the foot of every lesson. Say what's wrong or what's missing without leaving the page you're on, and it reaches us straight away.

In-context translation

Completed Completed August 2026

Improved the contextualization of our translation algorithm, making significant gains in quality

Tajik language support

Completed Completed August 2026

Tajik joins the languages you can learn — a complete audio Bible and an alphabet lesson imported already for convenience

Gather your lessons into courses

Completed Completed August 2026

Your own lessons can now be collected into courses, so a series you're working through — a book, a channel, a set of articles — groups together in the library instead of scattering across it.

Find me a video

Completed Completed July 2026

Out of ideas for what to study? Say what interests you and we write the searches in the language you're learning, show you that plan so you can change it, then hand you a shortlist of real videos to choose from. Every one you pick becomes a lesson with audio and a transcript.

Onboard with lessons built around your interests

Completed Completed July 2026

New learners describe what they'd like to learn about, and we build a starter course from it on the spot: a short written lesson ready to read within seconds, plus real videos in the language you're learning — all before the first session is over.

A first lesson on how to learn a language

Completed Completed July 2026

We wrote a lesson about the method itself — why listening and reading together works — and translated and voiced it in every language we teach. It sits first in your library, so your very first lesson teaches the method and the language at the same time.

Teacher and classroom support

Completed Completed July 2026

Set up a classroom, invite your students by email or roster, assign anything from the library — our own courses included — and follow each learner's work from one dashboard, with per-seat billing handled for your school or organization.

Import lessons from YouTube

Completed Completed July 2026

Turn any YouTube video into a lesson — paste a link and we pull in the audio and transcript so you can read and listen along.

Clarify lesson creation flow

Completed Completed July 2026

A friendlier lesson creation flow which makes clear which combinations of fields are valid.

Long audio uploads

Completed Completed July 2026

Upload multi-hour recordings without hitting size limits — long files are split and transcribed automatically from start to finish.

Pashto language support

Completed Completed June 2026

Learn Pashto as a target language, with full right-to-left support — import your own content just like with our other languages.

Dozens of new languages

Completed Completed June 2026

You can now learn in 53 languages, each with a complete audio Bible and word-by-word karaoke highlighting, ready to import and study.

Greek New Testament

Completed Completed June 2026

The Greek New Testament as a built-in course, so you can read Koine Greek with contextual translations from day one.

Gentle new user introduction

Completed Completed June 2026

A friendlier first-run experience that walks new learners through their first lesson and the reading interface step by step.
