Termy turns the games, videos, and websites you love into language practice. Press one shortcut and it finds the difficult words on your screen, explains them in context, and saves them with the exact moment you discovered them—without breaking your flow. Later, those moments become adaptive exercises built around your vocabulary. Works on Windows and macOS in 30 languages. Free to start.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Mikhail, the maker of Termy.
Language immersion often breaks at one small moment: a phrase stops you, but opening a translator pulls you out of the game or video. And translating everything removes the need to think in the language.
Termy is built for that moment. Press one shortcut anywhere text appears on your desktop. Termy gives you a short explanation and translation in context, then saves the word or phrase with the original scene.
Later, it turns your saved vocabulary into varied adaptive exercises—including context questions, fill-in-the-blank prompts, typing, listening, and screenshot recall. Reviews are scheduled with FSRS, so each word returns when you’re most likely to need the reminder.
It works with games, videos, websites, ebooks, and desktop apps on Windows and macOS. OCR runs on-device, screenshots stay on your computer, 30 languages are supported, and it’s free to start.
I’d especially love feedback on three things:
Did the explanation match the scene?
Did the shortcut preserve your immersion?
What game, app, or text did Termy struggle with?
Try it with something you already enjoy, then tell me where it breaks. I’ll be here throughout the launch.
Love it. Feels frictionless in actual use across YouTube and Reddit. Also really like that it keeps the screenshot context
This is much more in-context language learning than the memorization I did in language classes in school growing up. Nice job
I have always wanted to make something like this! I love interactive learning. I feel like it helps me remember languages better.
