Settings

This page covers every option under Settings — what it does and how to set it up. Text-to-speech is the one most people miss, so start there if you only read one section.

Text to Speech — set up a better voice

By default, Yadger uses your phone's built-in voice. You can add a higher-quality voice for your learning language.

On iPhone

  1. Open the iPhone Settings app (not Yadger).
  2. Go to Accessibility → Live Speech.
  3. Turn on Live Speech.
  4. Tap Add Preferred Voice.
  5. Select your learning language and download a voice.

Language Settings

Open Settings → Language settings to choose or configure the language you're learning. Supported languages include English, Russian, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Persian (Farsi).

Each language has its own set of engine options:

  • Sound to text — which engine transcribes audio (e.g. OpenAI).
  • Translation engine — which engine translates text (e.g. OpenAI).
  • Spoken voice text / words / chat — which voice source is used (e.g. your phone's voice).
  • Lesson AI — which engine generates lesson content (e.g. OpenAI).
  • Complexity — a 1–10 slider (default 5) controlling how difficult generated content is; adjust with the − and + buttons.

Help — Getting Started

Settings → Help includes a built-in walkthrough:

  1. Choose your language — tap the deck name at the top to select or create a deck for the language you want to learn.
  2. Add cards — take a photo of text, record speech, or import a backup file to get words.
  3. Pick words — tap any detected word to add it as a card. The app translates it automatically.
  4. Solidify — practice your cards with Flip, Choose, or Match.

Backup: Export

Tap Export backup in Settings → Backup & Sync to export all your cards as a JSON backup. iOS shows the Share Sheet — you can save to Dropbox, iCloud Drive, email the file, or send it to another app.

Backup: Import

Tap Import backup in Settings → Backup & Sync to load cards from a backup file. The file picker shows iCloud Drive and your phone by default.

To also show Dropbox or OneDrive in the file picker:

  1. Open the Files app on iPhone.
  2. Tap Browse → ••• (top right) → Edit.
  3. Enable Dropbox and/or OneDrive.

They'll now appear every time you use the Import button.
