Language Settings

Language Settings covers the language-related audio controls inside LearnKit.

Open Settings -> Audio for these options.

If you want to change the interface language instead, use Settings -> General -> Language.

These are the main audio controls most users touch first:

SettingWhat it does
Default voicePicks the main voice, accent, and dialect for Latin-script text
Use flags for language and accentLets inline flags switch language or accent during playback
Speak language name before flag segmentsSays the language name before each flag-switched section
Speech rateSpeeds speech up or slows it down
Speech pitchRaises or lowers the voice pitch
Test voicePlays a sample with your current settings

LearnKit also lets you set fallback languages for non-Latin scripts.

These live behind Show advanced options in the Audio tab.

They help when LearnKit can detect the script but still needs a default voice for that script family, such as:

  • Cyrillic
  • Arabic
  • CJK
  • Devanagari

Your Default voice still handles normal Latin-script text.

If you use Flags inside flashcard text, LearnKit can switch language or accent during playback.

This is useful when:

  • one card mixes multiple languages
  • you want one accent for one language and another accent for another
  • you want the same text spoken differently based on embedded flags

If you do not use flags in your flashcards, you can leave that feature off and just use a single default voice.

See Flags and Flag Codes.

  1. Open System Settings.
  2. Go to Accessibility -> Spoken Content.
  3. Open the system voice controls and download the voices you need.
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to Time & Language -> Speech.
  3. Add the voices you want available to the system.

Voice availability depends on your device and operating system settings.

  • pick one default voice you can listen to for long sessions
  • lower the speech rate when starting a new language
  • only turn on flag routing if your flashcards actually use flags
  • use script fallbacks when you study non-Latin writing systems often
