A presentation builder for Thai lessons. The main difference from ordinary slides is that the words on them are linked to the dictionary, and listeners can view the presentation on their phones, synchronized with you.
Anyone can view completed presentations. Only editors can create them. → Editor's Guide
Viewing
The catalog is located on the Slides page. You can simply scroll through a presentation as a page, or open it in presentation mode.
In presentation mode:
- arrows — move forward and backward through slides;
- Z — enlarge a phrase to full screen (also works with the Russian layout on the Я key);
- click on any Thai word — a dictionary entry opens on the side without leaving the slide;
- Esc — close the panel or the enlargement;
- ✕ exit — leave presentation mode.
The dictionary panel is a real dictionary entry in a shortened form: meaning, reading, and examples. → How to read a dictionary entry
Collaborative Viewing
This is the most interesting part for lessons.
The presenter clicks Broadcast and receives an invitation link; the Show QR button displays this link as a QR code directly over the slides. Listeners point their camera at it, and the presentation opens on their phones.
From then on, their screens follow yours: when you flip a slide, it flips for everyone; when you enlarge a phrase, it enlarges for everyone; when you open a word in the dictionary, it opens for everyone. At the bottom, the listener sees a label: ▶ synchronized with presenter.
The connection restores itself: if a listener loses internet access, they will see reconnecting..., and afterwards, they will catch up with you again.
Why this is useful in class: Thai text on a projector is often small, and half the group cannot make it out. With this system, the same content is right in front of everyone, with the ability to click on any word they don't understand.
Presentation Components
There are four types of slides:
- heading — title slide;
- section — topic divider;
- word — word card: Thai spelling, reading, and meaning;
- sentence — an example with translation, broken down into words.
A single presentation can have up to 60 slides.
How it is Created (for Editors)
The presentation is described by a JSON structure, but it is usually not written by hand: there is an AI assistant.
Generate builds the entire presentation from pasted material — a list of words, meanings, and examples. Apply Edit changes an existing presentation based on a text description: "add one more example to slide 3."
Upon saving, the presentation is automatically enriched: readings are inserted, words are linked to dictionary entries, and sentences are broken down into words. None of this needs to be done manually.
Words Not in the Dictionary
After saving, a list of words that were not found in the dictionary is displayed — these will have neither a reading nor a link to an entry.
The Request AI analysis for N words button puts them in a queue. When the analyses are ready, a label analyzed — click "Save" will appear nearby; after saving, the words will be linked to the entries. → AI Word Analysis
It is always worth checking this list: a missing word on a slide looks sparse, and the listener will not be able to click on it.
History and Publication
Every presentation has a History — all previous versions, with the ability to revert. AI generation also saves the previous version, so it is impossible to irreversibly ruin a finished presentation.
Publication has three states: draft, published, and archived. Drafts are visible only to editors.
