Many of the languages now supported by Transparent Language Online do not use the Latin alphabet familiar to English speakers. Due to the difficulty in displaying the characters of non-Latin alphabets, most language-learning companies focus on building listening, speaking, and reading skills, largely leaving out writing. Transparent Language Online, on the other hand, offers full support for non-Latin alphabets, allowing for the teaching of all four language skills. In addition to playing audio spoken by native language speakers, Transparent Language Online displays the actual characters and scripts of the foreign language across all learning modes.
Specially-configured versions of Transparent Language Online some featuring support for over 80 languages are available for educational institutions, corporations, and public libraries. Transparent Language Online for consumers is available from the companys website, with subscription pricing starting at $ 149.
