As an English learner, I realized it would be amazing to have a tool that offers one-tap translations of real-world objects while helping users retain words through quizzes. I decided to build a vocabulary app, effectively solving my own problem.
pointed it at my keyboard and it just worked. been struggling to retain english words for a while, the flashcard part actually helps with that
quick question — does it work on text on a screen too? tried a pdf and it felt slow. also any chance of anki export?
10 free scans is a bit low to properly test but looks solid
scanned my book spine and it instantly pulled up the translation and pronunciation, pretty handy for quick vocab grabs. the 10 free scans feels fair to actually test it out.
pointed my phone at a book spine and it grabbed the word instantly, pronunciation and all. genuinely useful for quick vocab pickup when i don't want to break flow.
Love the camera-to-flashcard idea, super handy for real-world vocab. One thing that would make it stick for me: let me save scans into themed lists or folders so I can build a mini "kitchen words" or "trip to Paris" deck instead of one endless pile. Would also be great if it remembered what I already marked as "known" and hid those from review.
