Description

Scribe tries to always make sure that the functionality that it provides allows users to learn their second language as best they can. One way to do this would be to provide a "guess mode" for commands where a user would need to first make a guess of what the correct response would be before they see the results of the command. This would green and red highlights could then be used for table fields the the case of conjugations to show which of the responses match the guess of the user, or the command bar could show a response to the user when the result is inserted in the case of translations and getting noun plurals.

We would need a menu option for each keyboard to turn this functionality on and off, with the default being on at time of writing as it would allow us to present ourselves as even more learning focused.

[!NOTE]
The designs for this can be found here on Figma.

Contribution

Would be great to discuss this feature with people and decide if this is something we want to bring to Scribe-Android and Scribe-iOS 😊
