I've been working on a little side project that combines Duolingo-like listening comprehension exercises with real content .

Every video is transcribed to get much better transcripts than the closed captions. I filter on high quality transcripts, and afterwards a LLM selects only plausible segments for the exercises. This seems to work well for quality control and seems to be reliable enough for these short exercises.

Would love your thoughts!

Nice, tried it. Looks cool. On the phone the drag and drop is a bit tricky. Dropped a wrong word and it got score emediatly as wrong, even though I was going to fix it. I expected scoring to happen after I click "submit". But maybe that's the same in Duolingo, no idea.

Thanks for trying. Yes this is on the roadmap. I think it is more intuitive for phones to click, and then hit submit instead of dragging (especially with large fingers hah)
