A few days ago Lingt Classroom stored enough audio to play continuously for over a year.  We’ve had to continually upgrade our audio servers to compensate for this increase in usage.

Since our last update we’ve continued to grow and are seeing Lingt Classroom used for languages from Russian to Burmese, and even applications from History to Speech Therapy.  A number of schools in the U.S. as well as international schools abroad have begun to use Lingt Classroom extensively among their staff.  In some cases Lingt Classroom is being used as language lab alternative that supports out of classroom and asynchronous voice feedback between teachers and students.

Thanks to all those advisors, teachers, and students that have supported us along the way. Direct referrals from other educators continue to be our biggest source of new users.

We look forward to providing the education community with a high quality product for the years and years to come.

We had a great time at American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in Boston this year!  Thanks to all the educators that stopped by our booth to say hi.

We spent 3 furious days spreading the word and talking with current users of Lingt Classroom to get lots of great feedback on how to make things better.  Look for your improvements coming out in the future!

Today we’ve release a new support forum! We have such a vibrant and growing community of educators using Lingt Classroom, that it makes sense to offer everyone a better way to connect and help each other out.  Enjoy!  http://lingtlanguage.com/forum/help-forum/

We’ve spent the last year listening to educators, hearing feedback, and improving our product.  And it’s paid off, thanks to your hard work – Lingt Classroom has been used in over 3000 classrooms worldwide, recording more than 2000 hours of audio data!  So in order to celebrate our progress over the last year, in the coming months we’ll be adding a fantastic set of new features, as well as transitioning to a new three-tier service model. For details on this new model go here.

Thank you for your continued support – it’s been an incredible year!

A great review by the excellent technology and education blog, Bag of Tricks. See it here.

From the article: “Lingt is a very promising new tool designed for language teaching. . . I found the assignment editor extremely intuitive and easy to use.”

One of the most requested features from teachers has been to allow uploading of mp3 sound files to create Lingt assignments. Well, you’re the boss.

You can now double click a record bubble to reveal a new box that allows you to browse and upload mp3s. Enjoy!
