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.
Main Language Controls
Section titled “Main Language Controls”These are the main audio controls most users touch first:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Default voice | Picks the main voice, accent, and dialect for Latin-script text |
| Use flags for language and accent | Lets inline flags switch language or accent during playback |
| Speak language name before flag segments | Says the language name before each flag-switched section |
| Speech rate | Speeds speech up or slows it down |
| Speech pitch | Raises or lowers the voice pitch |
| Test voice | Plays a sample with your current settings |
Advanced Script Defaults
Section titled “Advanced Script Defaults”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.
Flag-Based Routing
Section titled “Flag-Based Routing”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.
