Frequently Asked Questions

Taccolo has been just made and there are FAQs already?

Yes, there are Frequently Asked Questions already. People always ask me, hey Takumi, why did you come to Prague? Why did you leave Japan? What's the meaning of life? So frequently.

Oh, so this FAQ section is not just about Taccolo?

Hahaha I'm kidding, of course this FAQ section is about Taccolo. I wrote posts on LinkedIn about why I came to Prague, you can read them if you are interested.

How was Taccolo made?

Taccolo was made with a web application framework called ASP.NET Core. It is hosted on Azure services (Azure App Service, Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server), and Azure Virtual Machine of Ubuntu). The developer Takumi Saito made this on his own but with support from many kind people.

How does Taccolo make Learning Sets?

Taccolo makes Learning Sets by using two translator solutions: Azure Translator and LibreTranslate. Azure Translator is for translating the whole Original Text, and LibreTranslate is for making the List of Words (by separating the Original Text to individual words and looking up meaning of each word).
