[Feature Request]: Automatically playing the pronunciation, larger play sound button, and some other UI improvements

Hi Dimah,

Here are some suggestions for improving the user experience:

• The play button is very small; I suggest placing a larger button (even with text) for it in the footer or header.
• I recommend automatically playing the pronunciation in the initial load; this helps the person hear the word and remember its meaning. This feature can be placed in the settings, allowing users to enable or disable it.
• I would suggest changing the homepage setup; it mainly consists of a list of words that users may not necessarily want to see the meanings of immediately, as they might prefer to practice them by clicking the practice button or after a few seconds. My suggestion is to transform the homepage into the practice page and integrate it as a tab in the tab bar. This change would allow for the removal of the back button and the adding a larger play sound button. The second tab could be reserved for looking up and adding new words, the third tab for managing cards (similar to the current edit deck feature), and a fourth tab for settings to manage the current and future settings, such as log out, feedback, etc., it allows you to remove the navigation drawer (hamburger menu).
• I suggest adding a setting where the user can set a specific time in the day to receive notifications from the app to remind them to practice the vocabulary.
• I'm not sure how SRS is currently implemented, but after practicing today's words, when you return to the practice section, you still see the same words! I recommend adding a setting for this or informing the user that they have practiced the words and need to come back tomorrow each time they go to the practice page because I'm not sure how the repetition system is being handled in this case. Additionally, I suggest explaining the functionality of SRS and the intervals implemented in the app on the website to help users better understand it.
• What is the difference between swiping down and to the right? I have never dared to swipe to the right :D But if it serves a different purpose, it might be better to use left and right for correct and incorrect answers and consider swiping up or down for another action.
• To change the language, you can make the language name written in the header to a dropdown menu. By clicking on it, the user can switch to the next languages they are practicing.

[Feature Request]: Allow users to add an list of words to your deck

It would be very useful to copy an whole list of words to not have to select every one manually

Subtitles freezing

After installing the extensions, my subtitles on YouTube started freezing if I do alt-tab (00:07 on my vid), until I refresh the window or until I press alt twice (00:25). And strangely, I don't have to press alt like those instructions say to make the pop-up appear. If I press alt, the pop-up is highlighted, but in a crooked way - I can't highlight the combination of words I need, it just disappears or highlights everything, or something random....

[Feature Request] Support for Pronunciation Playback, and Images

First of all, thank you for the great service that you have created.

I want to request the addition of 2 new features:

1. Automatic Pronunciation Playback:

   • When a new vocabulary word loads on the screen in the mobile app, automatically play its pronunciation.
   • This feature would help users improve their pronunciation skills by providing immediate audio feedback.
   • It would be beneficial if users could repeat the playback volume or have the option to disable it if desired.

2. Image Display for Vocabulary Words:

   • After answering a vocabulary word, display an image related to the word along with its definition.
   • The image can be sourced from a Google image search or generated using AI tools.
   • This visual representation would enhance the learning experience and aid in memory retention.
