DuoBook: Generate bilingual stories to learn any language
6 celltalk 3 5/4/2025, 12:40:32 PM duobook.co ↗
That’s when I remembered those books with one language on one page and the translation on the opposite page. Inspired by that concept, I thought, why not use AI to create something similar, but even more interactive?
So, we built DuoBook.
Here's how it works:
1) Start writing your story in your language.
2) Select the language you want to learn.
3) AI helps complete the story, side-by-side with your native language.
It’s still early days, and it might not be perfect, but it's genuinely helping us—and we hope it helps you too!
