Hi,
Thanks a lot for your app. It's really great. I have a couple suggestions. They are a bit particular because I am using the app for the "Wiktionary Explore" features. Currently, there is no good Android app for Wiktionary. Or actually, there was one "WikiSurfer for Wiktionary", but it will stop working in a couple of weeks (it's already difficult to reach Wiktionary with it because of a "PROTOCOL_ERROR"). That means that, like me, a lot of people will probably use your app from now on. It could probably become much more popular. But there are a couple of things that could make the app easier to use for the "Wiktionary Explore" and increase the chance you will get 5 stars on Google Play.

It would be great if:

1. only the available languages for a specific word were listed when clicking the "language" icon (cf. 1 on the printscreen 1)
2. the word at the top of the page were actually an "input text" so that we can directly search for a new word from the page and not have to come back on the previous "search" page. (cf. 2 on the printscreen 1)
3. there were a "navigation pane" on a word page so that we could easily jump to a specific language (cf. 3 on the printscreen 1) and also between sections inside a language. You can see how it was done by "WikiSurfer for Wiktionary" on printscreen 2
4. the last selected languages were at the top of the languages list (instead of alphabetical order)
5. when searching for a word, the result would be automatically displayed when typing instead of having to press "Enter/Search". That would also fix two current "bugs": a) the search is pretty slow compare to "WikiSurfer for Wiktionary" and "EveryWiki: Wikipedia++" and b) when searching for a word, sometimes the suggestions are weird. For example, if I want to search for "ontstaan", and I press "Enter" when I have only written "onstaa", then not result are found (the search is done on Wiktionary English)
6. there were a global context menu (that would work in any other app), to search for the selected word in Spell4wiki.

Printscreen 1

Printscreen 2

I know that it's a lot of requests. I can open separate issue/feature requests if needed, but I didn't want to post many requests right away. Let me know if this is needed.

Anyway, thanks a lot again for your app and for the time you invest int it.

Few contributors contributed to different language by mistake due to not aware of selected language.
As of now in app showing language code only in app bar. so, provide language name in app bar and record dialog window.

Add

• Language info in app bar
• Language info in record dialog

For filtering the words doesn't have audio.
In settings page we have option to control the size.
Now we have maximum of 50 words check that need to increase 100

Describe the bug
When 2-factor authentication is enabled for a Wikimedia user account, the app throws an error. It only logs in after disabling the 2FA.

Basic information

• Spell4Wiki Version: 1.1.2
• Android Version: 11
• Device Name:
• Wikimedia Commons Username (optional):

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Spell4Wiki'
2. Input Wikimedia Username and Password and submit
3. See error

Expected behavior
The app should accept when the credentials are correct, go to the next page and ask the user to submit the OTP from their TOTP app (Free OTP or Duo or similar apps).

Screenshots

Need to increase the words length
Huge data may face the data upload or record issue

• Increase word length or no of char to 100
• Allow recording option do UI level changes
• Local configuration in settings page to modify the values. by default make it 30 only
• Do unit test with base config

Ensure ripple effect is enabled in all over the app for the best user experience.

I think it's a trademark issue to use the Wikimedia foundation, Wiktionary logo without their consent. It's not an issue if it is used after asking them for the permission.

Regardless, using the WMF logo as the app icon doesn't seem so suitable to it.

Getting below error
Mapping new ns http://schemas.android.com/repository/android/common/02 to old ns

Solution
Update the 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4'

Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66722945/android-build-warning-mapping-new-ns-to-old-ns

along with getting words from the wiktionary category for any language, add a feature to get words from a local text file.

• open the file
• read a word
• check if it is available in commons
• if not there, show for recording
  repeat.

Release the apk files every week, so that we can test and share more inputs. Use releases in github project to publish binary files.

Record & upload popup dialog

UI rounded background some times take more radius. Also affected some rounded buttons.
Scenario -> Logout and login. Then record audio.

Some devices, popup showing with black color in background.

Would it be possible to cooperate with @lingua-libre to record sounds there with "Spell4Wiki" ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_Libre

Lingua Libre is an online collaborative project and tool by the Wikimedia France association, which aims to build a collaborative, multilingual, audiovisual corpus under free license.

Lingua Libre enables to record words, phrases or sentences of any language, oral (audio recording) or signed (video recording).

Words are presented to the speaker in the form of a list, created on the spot or in advance, or reusing an existing Wikimedia category.

Implement the new Spell4wiki base json

Here,

• language_wise_data values refer to existing language response.
• category_common array values store into shared preference set.
• language_wise_data.category add into db.
• language_wise_data.category if exist then only add all category otherwise add only common category. (change need here)
• update title_of_words_list key instead of title_words_without_audio

More info :

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Files_uploaded_by_spell4wiki

Note : Files_uploaded_by_spell4wiki is main category.
Currently we created sub category page only for Tamil. So, other language need to create their sub category page. So, by default use main category(category_common).

Record the audio as ogg

The app seems to use a mixup of 2 methods:

1. Hitting back twice to exit
2. Ask for confirmation on exit

I guess using either of those approaches is enough. I personally prefer the former as it does not require me to move my finger to complete the action of exiting ;-) Personally, I also don't like pop-ups a lot.

Make sure the app login is saved and not asked everytime

Describe the bug
When opening the app very first time user able to see language selection screen. Actually, that is confusing user it is app language or content language.

Expected behavior
In a language app need to mention that this is just the interface language, not the content!

Run filter have to check 50 words

I and my network of scholars find the app useful but not entycing and fun. It is not that they hate the app. They like it. Happy about it. But there is lacking of repeated contribution.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the age of attention seeking, a well informed rational balance has to be reached in design and development of mobile android apps. In that way, i find the street complete app has introduced gamification (feedbacks in visual/audio, email cues.... ) that creates a visual mark, such that the screen time occupied by useless social platforms shall be diverted to OSM contribution. In a similar way, spell4wiki shall take the gamification seriously, while not making a addiction - critically.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Please refer street completes feedback mechanism. But the feedback mechanism can be designed suitable for spell4wiki. For instance, similar to barns in wikipedia. Care should be taken that it must not infuse competetive mindset - which in long run will compromise quality contribution.

Additional context
Nope.

Though we get the list of words from a category, there may be some issues on the list.

so, before showing a word to the user, check in commons if the word is available or not.

only show the non available word to the user.

Selecting License for contribution seems not to make sense for users who are not aware about the seriousness of license. For example my partner, or family....

Describe the solution you'd like
Make the license defaulted to CC0 or a dialog box showing different licenses to select from can be provided to the user after reviewing the recording.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is mild understanding of what the word "wiki" means in general. We can utilitze that abstract understanding to make the default as CC0. Furthermore, while recording the licensing check box is creating a block in the UX flow. The other method might help users to know and learn what are all the creative commons (counter copyright) licenses are available (provide a link to cc website too).

Additional context
the default can be changed in settings menu. Even there the license space shall be limited to creative commons spectrum without any option for making the contribution private or proprietary.

• When landing the app user need to select the WIkimedia language too. Like app language
• Remove multiple settings option in settings page.

I have a big word list. I want to know which words I should record from this list.
However, in the list of the many words, I have to click all of them to know if they are already recorded.

Describe the solution you'd like

I like the same way when I have the list of missing words, I would like to know which words of the list of most common words is not spoken already, checked automatically or by pressing this filter button.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered creating a script myself to check if the words are already recorded.

Additional context
I was looking which words of the most used words I would need to say in my language.

This is not essentially a problem. But i love spell4wiki to be a first in the line example for a free software app that can able to recommend other free software apps that are available in fdroid. May be in other app stores too (only optional). Please dont misunderstand this as advertisement. However care has to be take not to make it like it.

Describe the solution you'd like
In gamification, feedback is important, more than that making the user aware about the commons and free software culture is way more important. In order to accomplish that, additional points or whatever visual/audio, email.... feedback is provided a list of apps like commons, wikipedia that are related to the spell4wiki's context can be recommended.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Upon installing the app shall grant a "feather in hat"...etc .. animation, for example. Also if spell4wiki can able to recognize other apps like wikipedia, corresponding page shall be displayed in wikipedia itself instead of opening in spell4wiki or in a seperate webview.

Additional context
Just an idea to fill the cultural federation gap. May be a announcement of accomplishments in social media can be triggered from spell4wiki, after accomplishing some thresholds like say 100 words.... etc....

Ensure Dark Mode support for the App.

I don't see the upload button even after I record the audio. I see the upload button in the screen shot posted in the blog.
