Letora help

Help with listening, language support and saved Clips in the Letora beta.

Something not working?

Open TestFlight, select Letora, then choose Send Beta Feedback. A screenshot and a sentence about what you expected are helpful.

Or email kris@krisbursuc.com. Include your iPhone model, Letora version and listening language. Please leave out passwords and private content.

Your first listen

Choose your listening and translation languages during setup. The optional Try it guide lets you practise with a short sample. You can reopen it in Settings → Help → Reading gestures.

For something of your own, find a podcast or import a DRM-free audiobook. Audiobookshelf is optional; you do not need a NAS or a Letora account.

Device and language support

Letora requires iOS 26. This beta supports English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Connect to Wi-Fi during setup so your iPhone can download any required language models.

On-device word explanations need a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled and its models ready. You can choose optional online explanations if on-device help is unavailable; Letora asks before sending selected text and nearby context. Transcription and translation have separate availability. Check Apple's requirements.

If language help is unavailable

Check the language preparation message and your connection. If you chose on-device help, allow required models to finish downloading. A missing explanation does not necessarily mean translation is unavailable; you can keep listening while language support is prepared.

The guide includes labeled teaching examples. Translations of your own content use the real language services and may be imperfect. If an answer changes the meaning, tell us the source and target languages and, if you are comfortable sharing it, the short passage.

Find a saved Clip

Open Saved, then choose Clips and the source you listened to. Saving keeps the editor open so you can adjust the passage; Done closes it. Saved Clips remain available after you close and reopen Letora.

Playback or downloads

If playback will not start, open the player and check that the audio has finished downloading. If the issue continues, include whether you were using the lock screen, headphones or the phone speaker in your feedback.

Downloaded audio can play offline. Podcasts need a connection to search and download, and a publisher's feed must support HTTPS. Audible's protected downloads cannot be imported.

Your library and privacy

Audio and transcripts stay on your device. Language help runs locally by default. If you choose online explanations, selected text and nearby context go to Letora and Google Gemini; audio and complete books do not. Podcast and Audiobookshelf requests connect to their respective services. TestFlight shares beta diagnostics with us, and feedback includes what you choose to send. Read the privacy policy.
