Co-Founder and CEO, Toucan - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12243224, 2 years agoI was very excited to use toucan but since I started using this app 19 days ago it's been using so much memory that sites can't load. I turned it off for a while in hopes it would get fixed but despite being an excellent idea for an app, it doesn't really matter if the sites it translates don't load.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17041511, 2 years agoFantastic product that doesn't require you to allocate specific time to learn a language - but rather it's seamlessly embedded in your day to day. Thrilled it is integrated into Firefox too!

Co-Founder and CEO, Toucan - Rated 4 out of 5by Blaf, 2 years agoI use Toucan to learn Japanese and so far, my experience has been great! Of course, like any other language learning app, there are limits to how much of the language you can learn through it, but as far as learning vocabulary (and in the case of Japanese, the alphabets) goes, I think this is a fantastic concept!
Of course, since Toucan is an ever-developing add-on, there are things I would like to see that would make it an even better experience, such as including some kanji along with the hiragana and katakana in the case of Japanese, or translating some phrases to immerse the user even more in aspects of the language such as syntax (but I realize that is probably much harder to implement).
The dev team is really communicative and it seems to me that they really care about providing the best possible user experience, which is another huge plus. I'll definitely let them know about what I feel is missing in the current version.
Full disclosure, the Toucan team generously supplied me with a month of premium membership to fully try the add-on out, but I believe that everything I said also applies to the free version.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks so much for your kind words! Sincerely appreciate it. The option to add Kanji to your experience is in the next release for Firefox. Stay tuned for updates! I’m definitely all ears if you have any other feedback at all. :)

posted 2 years agoHey there! We have a lot of new upgrades coming to our natural language processing and machine learning technology over the next few weeks that we're beyond eager for our users to experience. As you've noticed, languages are extremely complex and we're excited to have the opportunity to tackle this head on and deliver an elegant solution to you. In the meantime, you can use our error reporting feature by clicking on the flag icon in the hover state whenever you find an incorrect translation, this will help us improve the overall accuracy of our learning system.
Toucan works on ~500 of the most popular sites by default, however, there are certain sites, like YouTube, that we’ve determined to be incompatible at the moment. We’re definitely working on this as a team. Stay tuned for updates.
Thanks so much for helping us to make Toucan even better. If you have any other feedback, feel free to email me directly at taylor.nieman@jointoucan.com.

- Rated 1 out of 5by shino1, 2 years agoWorks really well, really helps me with Japanese. Sadly, using it on DuckDuckGo (my primary search engine) drastically slows down the site and I might have to uninstall it if that's not fixed because that makes it unusable.
If this will be fixed, I will take it to five stars because it deserves it.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHey there! Thanks so much for your feedback. Sincerely appreciate it. We’re sorry to hear that you ran into some compatibility issues using DuckDuckGo + Toucan. The team is looking into it and will address it asap. If you have any other feedback or details that might help our team fix the bug, feel free to email me directly at taylor.nieman@jointoucan.com. Thanks for helping us make Toucan even better. :)

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16621721, 2 years agoi saw this extension via Enhancer for Youtube sponsor but i dislike that the partner link goes to your site rather than the extention itself in addon.mozilla so i didn't use that link
it would also be better if you are recommended by Mozilla. its much easier to trust them. for now lets just see how good is this
Edit: some words dont have romanji words on them sadlyDeveloper response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Asanosuke, 2 years agoGreat idea, poorly executed. Keyboard shortcuts where are they? Login was a nightmare on Firefox browser. I have other extensions that use text highlighting to function, unless Toucan can figure out a way to allow users to customize this, it'll break all the extensions that use it. Sorry guys, back to the kanban board for ya'll
