this is truly the only way that duo is usable on the computer. it is still annoying how often it switches inputs, such as word matching or giving 3 options and you pick one. but when the sentence questions come up it is so great to never have to use a word bank again. the word banks are p a i n f u l. thank you so much to the developer of this extension!!
