Language support key

1. Live transcription (ASR). Available for English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. All other languages in the list support transcription after recording.
2. Printed-text OCR. Text extraction from images is available for English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
3. Handwriting OCR. Available for English only.

English options: ASR offers Global English, US English, and British English, giving 40 language options in total. TTS offers US English and British English voices, giving 39 options; Global English is an ASR-only option.

TTS voices: Voices use specific regional varieties, such as Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish from Spain, and Norwegian Bokmål. The Tagalog option uses Filipino voices.

ASR converts speech to text, TTS reads text aloud, and optical character recognition (OCR) extracts text from images. Accuracy can vary with accents, recording quality, handwriting, and image clarity. You can still use lesson content in other languages without these optional AI tools.

LingoLesson supports speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Teachers can combine media, prompts, recording tasks, written responses, and feedback inside modular lessons.

Teachers and students log in with Google or Microsoft accounts. This supports reliable identity and progress tracking.

Yes. Audio and video recording are core features. Teachers can optionally use transcription to make spoken submissions easier to review and assess.

AI is optional. LingoLesson supports Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Speech (TTS), Generative AI (GenAI), and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) as add-on tools. Teachers decide when AI is useful and remain responsible for lesson design and feedback.

Media Galleries let students view, comment on, and react to classmates' submissions. Galleries are private to the relevant class.

The lesson editor is LingoLesson's modular lesson-building tool. Teachers can combine media, formatted text, audio, video, question types, AI-generated drafts, feedback, and student submission tasks in one flexible lesson flow.

No separate app download is required. LingoLesson is a cross-device compatible web app that runs in modern supported browsers.

Teachers can create an account now at app.lingolesson.com.

LingoLesson is currently in public beta. Access to the platform is free during this period. Optional AI add-ons are already available to purchase separately.

Some features may change, be rate-limited, temporarily unavailable, or not work as expected. We appreciate your patience and welcome feedback in our Discord community.

Paid plan pricing after beta is to be announced. See the pricing page for plan details and AI add-ons.

Yes. Teachers can create speaking, pronunciation, listening, and comprehension tasks with audio, video, prompts, recording questions, and feedback in one lesson flow.

Yes. Teachers can add multiple recording prompts to the same lesson, so students can answer a sequence of speaking or video questions before submitting their work.

Yes. Teachers can create image upload questions for student project work, handwritten work, visual tasks, or other image-based responses.

AI tools can help draft lesson materials, generate questions, transcribe spoken submissions, and support feedback workflows. Teachers remain in control of assessment decisions and the feedback students receive.

ZenGengo for individual subscribers will sunset at the end of September 2027. LingoLesson is the successor platform, and the beta period gives teachers time to explore it and plan any content migration.

LingoLesson keeps the spirit of ZenGengo, but uses a new codebase and a more flexible structure. It adds a modular lesson editor, improved recording activities, private Media Galleries, AI-assisted lesson and feedback tools, and clearer organization around courses, classes, lessons, and submissions.

LingoLesson includes tools for importing ZenGengo course content. Teachers who have created lessons, folders, assignments, or other materials in ZenGengo are encouraged to try the importer during beta. See the ZenGengo migration help guide for step-by-step instructions.

LingoLesson handles student access differently from ZenGengo. Students log in with Google or Microsoft accounts, and teachers create classes in LingoLesson and invite students into the new structure.

No. Your ZenGengo subscription will not carry over to LingoLesson. You will need a new LingoLesson subscription once LingoLesson comes out of beta.

The goal is to preserve the most useful ZenGengo workflows while improving the underlying system. Some older ZenGengo features may return in a different form rather than as exact copies.
