[sword-devel] Open source DuoLingo

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Andrew,

Great suggestion.  I found this pure client side javascript solution for 
IPA to speech, which we could try but we don't have any IPA in the 
flashcard lessons.  Want to volunteer to add some?

https://itinerarium.github.io/phoneme-synthesis/

Here's our lesson repository which many people have contributed to.  
I've been testing with hebrewWegner and greekBlack lesson sets.

https://crosswire.org/svn/flashcards/trunk/lessons/

You'll notice the lesson format is a basic Java properties file and uses 
the key conventions:

word1=

answers1=

word2=

answers2=

...

We could look for:

ipa1=

ipa2=

...

You can use this page to quickly decode the unicode escape sequences in 
there.
