My Automagic progress has stopped at about 170 hours as it now seems to be on a loop with no new material and same sentence being repeated over and over. What can I do to get back on track please?
@pete-20 are you using the AutoMagic prototype - automagic.saysomethingin.com - or the new app - SaySomethingin - or app.saysomethingin.com in a browser?
If you’re not getting any new material, then it sounds like you’re at the end, however, there has been some extra material added in the last couple of days. Log out, then log in again and see if that makes a difference.
Hi all, and THANK YOU for finally putting level 3 Southern Welsh on Automagic, it’s really great.
Thought I’d report a little glitch. When Aron is saying the English on a few different things (it started 44% into Black belt with the word “trust” being introduced) there’s just white noise, then it gives you the welsh as normal.
Hope that makes sense and is helpful. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Diolch Doug. I’ve passed that info through to the Tech Team.

Thanks Deb. I had one suggestion that I thought would be brilliant, and hopefully easy to implement…Automagic should allow you to switch between “speaking” and “listening” mode. All listening mode would be is playing the two welsh lines first and the English line last. This comes from the fact that from using Automagic for ages my speaking is awesome, I can construct long sentences in my head very easily, but when I hear the welsh, my brain can’t translate back to English anywhere near as well. This would be the final piece in the puzzle and I’m sure people would love it. Hope that’s helpful, Doug

An interesting suggestion. We have the listening exercises with the Challenges, and Aran mentioned at one time that he had some ideas for incorporating listening tasks into the new app, but there’s a lot of other development needed before we get to that. I’ll pass your suggestion to the team. Diolch yn fawr!

Thanks very much for the idea, Doug, much appreciated!
I’ve grown to believe over the years that we need something faster-acting for listening - in a sense, what you’re describing would be a little too easy - but it might work (without the pause, which makes it a little trickier for us) as the beginning of a fuller approach to listening - which as Deborah says is something we’ve got brewing in the thinking tanks at the moment…

Ah thanks for your replies. I quite like the simplicity, and interestingly, the idea for this actually came from the glitch that I reported (where the English was just white noise), which meant that I just heard the welsh and had to the construct the English myself. I thought to myself, this is actually really useful! I also don’t see having a gap after the welsh as problematic, if anything it might be nice to have moment to construct the English in your brain. You could just decrease the gap length. I really think it would work, and would be little work for your IT team as presumably you could just write some code that says flip all welsh to English and reduce gap to a minimum. I never really got on with the listening exercises, I just think Automagic is so much better as a tool. Anyway, thanks again, and good luck with the amazing work you’re all doing.

Just noticed this evening that the sentences are repeating twice. This happens if I press the „revisit“ just once. If I leave the App and then return later the problem goes away

That was a design feature of the original Revisit functionality, but it won’t be included in the update to Revisit and Skip, which is heading your way very soon
