[Cantonese Translator & Learn] Add text-to-speech reading feature for books

Hi everyone. I noticed some comments about my replies sounding like AI. I want to apologize and be 100% honest: my English writing is poor, so I used AI to translate and polish my posts/replies because I wanted to be polite and professional. It was a stupid mistake. However, please trust me on this: **The Cantonese content inside the app is NOT generated by AI.** I spent a massive amount of time manually collecting, checking, and typing every single word, Jyutping, and slang. Since I am a solo developer doing this all by myself, there might still be some human errors in the database. If you spot any mistakes, please let me know and I will fix them ASAP! Thank you all for the support and the honest feedback. Hey r/Cantonese! 👋 About a month ago, I shared an AI Cantonese practice app I built solo. The post got over 5K views and you guys gave me some incredibly honest and valuable feedback. The #1 piece of feedback I got was basically: ***"I would try this, but I don't read Chinese. How am I supposed to navigate it?"*** You hit the nail on the head. It was a huge blind spot for me as a developer. If someone relies on Jyutping to learn, they absolutely need an English interface. So, I went back to the code. I spent the last few weeks completely overhauling the UI, and today I'm super excited to announce that **Full English Localization is officially live!** 🎉 **Here is what the app focuses on:** * **100% Spoken Cantonese:** The core engine is built to reject written-style (书面语) machine translations. It only gives you authentic, street-level spoken Cantonese. * **Jyutping Everywhere:** Every translation and dialogue card comes with precise Jyutping to help you nail the tones. * **AI Pronunciation Check:** You can speak into it, and the AI will score your pronunciation to help you fix bad habits. *(Side note: To the users who asked for a text-to-speech reading feature for books—I hear you! I am currently building a separate, dedicated app for importing EPUB/TXT files using ultra-realistic Azure Neural voices. Stay tuned!)* Thank you all for the push. Indie development can be lonely, but communities like this make it totally worth it. If you have a moment, I'd be honored if you gave the new English version a try. Let me know if the translation flow feels natural or if there's anything else I can improve!
