Summary:

It is supposed to be an extended analogue of the desktop program Lingvo Tutor, which is a component of well-known ABBYY Lingvo.

At the moment, the application is only available as a docker image. The userdata with built-in dictionaries is stored in the /userdata directory (inside container), this allows to use docker volumes.

By default, espeak-ng is used as Text-To-Speech service (it is pre-installed inside sszuev/ubuntu-jammy-openjdk-17-espeak-ng image).
To use voicerss TTS service (better quality) obtain API-key and specify it as an environment variable VOICERSS-KEY, e.g. docker run ... -e VOICERSS-KEY=${your-key} ...
