Features

  • Adds controls to each sound of the listening / speaking / translation challenges.
  • Full controls are available by hovering over the buttons or using the keyboard shortcuts, and feature:
    • a rate (speed) slider,
    • a volume slider,
    • a seek bar,
    • a play/pause button,
    • a stop button,
    • a "pin" button (to define the current position as the new starting position).
  • Strives to blend seamlessly in Duolingo's UI, and to be compatible with custom themes such as Darklingo++.
Keyboard shortcuts

The selected control panel is identifiable by the keyboard icon that is added next to its buttons.

In order to use the keyboard shortcuts, the selected control panel must be focused by pressing [ Ctrl ].

Once focused, the keyboard icon becomes highlighted, and you can use:

  • [ Ctrl ] to focus back the answer input,
  • [ Tab ] to select (and focus) the next control panel,
  • [ < ] / [ > ] to decrease / increase the playback rate (speed) (or [ Ctrl ] + [ ← ] / [ → ]),
  • [ ↓ ] / [ ↑ ] to decrease / increase the playback volume,
  • [ ← ] / [ → ] to move the position backward / forward,
  • [ 0 ] .. [ 9 ] to set the position at 0 .. 90% of the duration,
  • [ Home ] to set the position at the start,
  • [ End ] to set the position at the end (think of it more or less as a stop button),
  • [ Space ] / [ k ]to play / pause the sound (or [ Ctrl ] + [ ↑ ]),
  • [ p ] to "pin" the current position (the sound will now start from there each time it is played) (or [ Ctrl ] + [ ↓ ]).

User reviews

I've been using this add-on for over a month. I use it simply to speed up the turtle playback as the spaces between words are way too long. This is done with the center slider.
