-Hey there! Welcome to KoalaSRS, a fun and friendly Korean-only [spaced repetition system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition) that's all about listening and speaking skills. We teach vocabulary using fully-formed sentences, not just boring word/definition pairs. KoalaSRS captures your voice input using speech-to-text and uses the super-smart GPT-4 for human-like test assessments and corrections. That means that the app is clever enough to mark your answers as "close enough" and can even give you optional feedback about _why_ you were wrong. It can explain sentences that don't make sense or have unknown vocabulary (WIP). 🧠

+The app is now stable enough to be used for serious studying, but there are still stability issues and many features are still pending. If you want to use the app but are hitting stability issues, please reach out.
-I am privately hosting an instance of KoalaSRS. Please contact me via my blog/LinkedIn/Mastodon/etc if you are interested in trying it out or want to help with alpha testing. There is no free public instance at the moment due to hosting/API costs.

I've created a [group on Club House](https://www.clubhouse.com/c/join/B2Tyn13w) to discuss KoalaSRS development in an informal manner. Feel free to drop in and say "hi" or suggest new ideas.
-## UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚠️
-
-The app started as a command line app while I experimented with different quiz strategies. Now that the details are resolved, I am converting the app to run in a browser so that it can be used by non-technical users. I am working directly off of the `main` branch for now since it seems like we don't have a ton of users. If you want to use the app but are hitting stability issues, please reach out.

- **Speaking quiz:** You get an English text and are asked to say it in Korean. The program transcribes your phrase via speech-to-text, and GPT-3 grades your answer. 📣

- By design, the app won't quiz on reading or writing. This is a speaking/listening app.
- The target user is English speakers trying to learn Korean. I can add other language pairs later, but the main focus right now is EN/KO.
