Krya 0.14.0

What's new in 0.14.0

• Krya in Ukrainian or Russian: pick the interface language in Settings › Language (and on the first step of the setup). English stays the default. Every window follows: the tray menu, the cards, the talk window, the settings, the setup. Settings search also finds a line by its English words. What Krya teaches stays English: the duck's answers, the corrected text and the English half of a card.
• The uninstaller asks in Krya's language. Chrome's meeting recorder (0.5.0) follows Chrome's own language.
• A sound when the layout switches: on the Keyboard page, off until you turn it on. Pick Glass, Pluck, String or Duck. Tap one to hear it. English sounds a note higher than your other layouts, so you hear where you switched. It plays for Krya's keys and for Windows' own switch keys. It does not play when Krya fixes a word or another window comes in front.
• Fix: the quiet click when a word is fixed was silent in the installed app.
• Fix: a word fixed by hand could teach Krya to turn a real word into another layout's letters (for example "привет" → "ghbdtn"). Krya no longer learns such a fix and forgets one learned before.
• Krya's log now says why a word fixed by hand was not learned. A problem report carries it, never the word.

Install: download Krya-Setup-<version>.exe and run it. The installer is not signed, so Windows warns: More info → Run anyway. Krya starts with Windows and lives in the tray.

Update: Krya does not update itself. Download the new installer from here and run it: it installs over the old version, and your settings, words and downloads stay.

Updating from 0.11.0 or earlier, with Chrome's meeting recorder: the extension now has a fixed id, and Krya takes recordings only from it. Once: on chrome://extensions press Remove on Krya's meeting recorder, then Load unpacked from Krya's folder again (the Google Meet page in Krya shows the steps).

Krya 0.13.0

What's new in 0.13.0

• Talk to the duck: a chat window to practise speaking English. Speak or type a line; the duck answers aloud. Mistakes in your own lines are marked, with a short note in your language; the duck itself never corrects you. Runs on this computer with the Accurate model and needs a graphics card with 4 GB of its own memory or more. Speaking needs the speech engine; typing works without it.
• Six topics (Free talk, My day, A trip, At a café, Job interview, My work); the interview asks one question at a time and then says how it went.
• On the Talk page: your English level (A2, B1, B2) and a few lines about yourself, which the duck keeps in mind.
• Your talks are kept in the chat window: go on with one or delete it. The window maximizes, and its bar shows the model the duck runs on.
• Fix: Accurate and Most accurate could stop translating once Krya had measured their speed on this computer.

• Ctrl+Alt+S snips a piece of the screen and reads its text.
• Click a word: its meanings, how it is said, a star that saves it to Words. Export the list for Anki.
• A dotted line under less common words.
