 Hello everyone, welcome to this video. In this video, I will be introducing you to Ludwig.Guru, which is a very handy tool in helping you to write, especially if you're writing in English. Let's check it out. So this is the main page of Ludwig.Guru. As you can see here, it's very minimalistic, nothing really fancy, and the link is Ludwig.Guru.not.com. Why is called Ludwig? It's inspired by the greatest philosopher of 20th century called Ludwig Wittgenstein, who wrote several books, including Traktators, in one of the lines that he wrote was the limits of my language means the limit of my world. Because he was born with some problems with language learning, and he noted that if we don't really master the language, we will not be able to see the world in clarity. And this tool tried to overcome that by giving you a simple solution of finding the right way to use certain words. So you know, when you write something, you tend to think in your mind, and sometimes you don't know why certain words are used or you want to know what other people are doing with that kind of words or the phrases. So there are several key things that you can see here. It comes with certain like a code or symbols that you can use. For example, if you want to compare between two sets of phrases or two sets of words, you can use this vs versus. So like if you want to compare Sincerely yours versus Basterie God, you can just add the word vs in capital. Then you can find the wildcard word, the asterisk, just in case you don't know what is missing here. And then you have the underscore, which will find the synonym of the word. And then you can compare two sets of words within a phrase, like half take a shower. You're not sure whether it's half a shower or take a shower. You can use this kind of symbol. And then you can also find the right order using this bracket. So if I click here, you can see here it will order the usage in the right order, the right in order. These are all the wrong usage maybe because this is the most commonly used one. If I click on this, I get to use vs. So I can say like for example here, I can say with regards to or in regard to just in case you're wondering whether which one is right. Then you can see that in regard to is widely used with regards to is seldom used according to the database. So you might want to use in regard to you can also use the s3 to find the best word to fill in the gap. Like for example, here find something word. So it will say, you know what is the most commonly used phrase is like find the right word, find the mixing word and all that. So you can use the underscore to actually find synonym. You can see here when I use underscore parade and they're back and implored, these are all based on the, you know, the sources that they have gathered. You can also use, for example, this bracket to compare like, like just now have take a shower, right? So you can see like take a shower is more commonly used than have a shower. So most likely the correct usage is take a shower, but you can always see the results and then consider. Okay, so those are the basic command there. But if you notice here now, my upper bar here is turned into a bit goldenish or, you know, yellowish color here. It means I'm in the premium account because the free account limits your search daily. One reason why I sign up for the premium is because I find it very, very useful as well for my own usage. Now, let's try and discover more. For example, when you see the result here, you also get to hear or listen to how it's pronounced. The best in HD entertainment. So it actually reads out as well. And then you can save it if you would like to keep it in your account. And you can also show it in context. So you can know how, you know, you can know how the phrase of the word is used in context rather than in isolation. And you can also share it if you want to share it with the, you know, with your friends through social media, right? And you can see here, most of the sources are from the New York Times. If you would like to filter this, just click the filter. And let's say you are more focusing on more formal usage, then you might want to untick or uncheck news and media and Wiki and all this. Maybe you can still keep the science and research informal. Now a premium version will allow you to also do this. We'll go through this library later in a bit or you can add a new source in a bit, but basically you can filter the sources as you like. You can also find idioms or expression or proverbs like part and parcel and thingy. And then it will try to explain you if they find the definition, it will give you the definition as well. And you can see this kind of related words or phrases. As you can see here, if it's idiom, it will also tell you that it's an idiom. Okay, so very useful if you're talking about writing and you are not sure how to use certain words or if you need some inspiration on what to do if you're writing, this is very, very useful. It also helps you to paraphrase because you can see what are the ways of fighting or using that phrase or expression, right? Now let's go to the library. This is a premium version. I just added one here. You can add your own collection here. In this case, I'm adding like for example, gamification related articles. So what it means here is you're adding sources which are not readily available by Ludwig. For example, you have certain articles or set of materials that you often refer to and you would love to find it immediately using this tool rather than doing your own search using other software. So you can just add your sources, keep on adding or you can just paste some tags from the sources. Now, because this is private to you, your collection will not be available for other people. So you're just searching within your own collection and you can even filter it. You can even tag it, see the tag that you're using. And of course, this is just for listing or you want to see in the form of the grid. So I think this is very useful because sometimes you have a huge collection of articles that you tend to refer to and you would love to learn how they write or how certain sentence structures are used and all that. So I think this is really, really useful. Let's go to the plans that they have. If you're guess meaning you did not sign in, you will get seven search results and you can only search three daily. So if you want to use more, you register account for free. It's still free. You get to see 15 search results and then you get to do six daily queries and you get some interactive results as shown just now. So what happened here is you will not be able to listen to the pronunciation if you're guessed. You can still listen to it if you're registered, right? But still limited to six daily queries. So if you want to go premium, not only it's at three, you get to have unlimited daily queries. You can search as many as you like and then you get more search results. You get the advanced filter and then also the library as mentioned just now. So you can consider the premium if you are really using this for heavy usage. If you are just doing some random search from time to time, then maybe registered will be the best. But try to register because guess will limit you to only three queries. Sometimes you accidentally type the wrong word that takes up one query already. How much is the premium account? It's 49 USD per year. It's about 200 per year in Malaysian ringgit. So if you convert it to monthly, that would be about 15 to 16 ringgit per month, right? So I think quite nice, not really that expensive I would say if you're really using this for your writing. So that's ludwig.guru. If you have the time, try the free version first and if you're happy with it, then you can sign up for the premium. Okay, that's all.
