Prebuilt installers are available on the release page (MacOS only for now).
Firstly, create a folder to store your vocabulary book. All words will be saved to this folder, which can be found at /vocabulary. This will help you keep your vocabulary organized and easily accessible.
Secondly, it is mandatory to provide your OpenAI API key. This allows Broca to access the powerful language processing capabilities of OpenAI, which greatly enhances the app's performance and accuracy.
Thirdly, choose your target language (the language you want to translate to). At the moment, we support Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Portuguese.
Optionally, you can provide your AWS key and secret for pronunciation purposes. If you choose to do so, please ensure that your AWS key has full access to the AWS service Polly. This will enable Broca to accurately pronounce words for you, which can be a great help when learning a new language.
By following these simple steps, you'll be ready to start using Broca to expand your language skills and communicate with confidence.
