The blue kitchen chair

A short Spanish memory, with an English translation, shows how the two versions can sit together. It is a fictional example, not a recorded interview.

Original · Español

“La silla siempre cojeaba, pero nadie quería cambiarla.”

Translation · English

“The chair always wobbled, but nobody wanted to replace it.”

Audio belongs beside the story.

The native development app keeps an original recording, a photograph and manually entered text together. Selected reviewed stories can be exported as a ZIP. The browser demo currently handles text only.
