I am the first to admit that the UI does not make sense to people who have not seen it in use. I have done some user onboarding sessions where you just “let them ask questions and click” and it goes terribly if it’s any consolation, I have never gotten that feedback after showing people how to use it (quite the opposite actually!)

Wrt to the expression, all expressions created today succeeded, so if you’re still seeing a progress bar let me know as that’s a bug. It’s possible something failed with the live updates, or it does take several minutes to create an expression (depending on servers, it can take up to 10 minutes at times, although the typical timing is 2-4 minutes depending on the expression)

If you click on any of the review methodologies, it will start reviewing any of your successful expression. From there, the experience should be a lot more explorer-friendly :)

What it’s doing is: analyzing the sentence, splitting it into phrases, aligning it across all languages, tagging all of the gender/case/tense/etc, researching pronunciation, generating audio, aligning the audio, prioritizing the words (across several axes), and generation explanations/dictionary for each individual word
