Field notes
The page says podcast transcripts run ahead of the audio, while live-radio transcripts follow the broadcast with playback delayed by about 13 seconds. A saved word keeps its source sentence and a short sound clip, then returns as a review card on the app's stated spaced schedule. Vocabulary lists can be exported as CSV or Anki decks; the listed languages include Brazilian Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese.
