How to adjust session settings on Glossika

Glossika gives users quite a bit of control over how they interact with our audio. To customize your audio playback settings:

Session settings can be accessed from within a training session. Simply:

1. From your "Overview" page, click either "Learn new Items" or "Review"

2. From within a training session, click the "settings" icon located in the top-right corner of your screen

3. A settings tab will open up from the right side of your screen, letting you adjust things like:

  • Interval:

    • the size of the pause between the audio clips

    • short = the minimum time interval, longer = the maximum time interval

  • Speed:

  • Repeat:

    • Whether the target audio clip plays once or twice

  • Recording:

    • Whether Glossika prompts you to record your own voice

Note: Glossika separates new items from review items, and your settings are unique to each set of items. We think this separation of settings is important because we, as learners, approach new and old content differently. (Perhaps, for example, you would like the audio for old content to play at one speed and the audio for new content to play at another.) If you wish to have universal settings, you will have to make changes to both sets of settings.

4. While within a session, click the "triple-dot" icon to access your session settings

5. From here, you can adjust various settings, such as:

  • Guide and tips

  • New sentences (while in ''Learn New Items'' mode)

  • Report this sentence

  • Adjust the speed at which audio plays

Note:

Any changes you make to your "learn new items" session settings will not affect your "review" session settings. This distinction makes it possible to, for example, have the audio of new items play more slowly and the audio of review items play more quickly. If you'd like to have the same settings for both "learn new items" and "review" sessions, you'll have to adjust both sets of settings.


How to adjust session settings on the Glossika iOS app/Android app

Users can adjust the speed of audio recordings and the time interval between recordings for both the ''Learn new items'' and ''Review'' modes.

If you'd like to have the same settings for both "learn new items" and "review" sessions, you'll have to adjust both sets of settings. Hope this information helps you to get more out of Glossika’s iOS/Android app!

To switch your session mode:

1. Start a new session or a review session

2. Click the gear icon located in the top right corner to access the settings menu

3. Select the training mode(full practice mode or listening-only mode) that you prefer

*Keep in mind that new sessions and review sessions do not share a settings menu; you will need to adjust each settings menu separately.
