How E-clair works
E-clair turns audio in the language you are learning into something you can study: a word-level transcript that follows the sound, a translation a long-press away, and a notebook that remembers where each word came from. This guide covers the whole loop, then everything around it.
Getting started
Install E-clair, sign in, and take one piece of audio all the way through to your first flashcard.
From audio to review
Each step hands its work to the next. Audio becomes a transcript, the transcript becomes vocabulary, and the vocabulary becomes review.
- 01 Adding audio to your library Upload a file from your device or paste a web link, and let E-clair transcribe it in the background.
- 02 Reading along with the audio Follow a word-level transcript as it plays, move around by phrase, and slow down or loop whatever is hard.
- 03 Translating as you listen Tap a word for its meaning or hold for the whole phrase, with the dictionary entry and grammatical forms underneath.
- 04 Saving words to your Notebook Keep the words and phrases worth remembering, each anchored to the moment you heard it.
- 05 Practising with flashcards Review what you saved as flashcards — recognise it, or type it out and see exactly what you missed.
