Turn any foreign language text into a complete study session
Photograph your textbook, vocabulary list, or class notes in any language. Lexie generates reading passages, matching pairs, typed recall, listening exercises, and flashcards — all from a single photo. 34+ languages supported.
How language learning works
Photograph your language material
Take a photo of your vocabulary list, textbook page, grammar notes, or worksheet. Lexie detects both the content language and your app language automatically, and generates study material designed specifically for language acquisition.
From vocabulary to reading to recall
Lexie doesn't just turn your word list into flashcards. It generates reading passages that use your vocabulary in natural context — so you encounter each word inside real sentences before you're tested on it. Then the same vocabulary feeds into matching pairs, typed recall, and listening exercises. Context first, then retrieval. That's the sequence that makes vocabulary stick.
Question types built for languages
Lexie adapts the question mix for language learning. You get heavy matching pairs for vocabulary association, typed recall where you produce the word in the target language from memory, listening exercises where audio plays and you type what you hear, and flashcards with audio pronunciation. This isn't a generic quiz applied to language content — the practice format is designed for how language learning actually works.
Tap any word. Get an instant translation.
Every word in your study text is tappable. Tap a word and a tooltip appears with the translation in your chosen language, powered by AI with full sentence context for accuracy. Not a dictionary lookup — a contextual translation that accounts for how the word is used in that specific sentence.
From vocabulary to reading
Comprehensible input from your own word list
Photograph a vocabulary list and Lexie generates reading passages that use your words in natural context. You encounter each word inside connected sentences and paragraphs — not isolated translations on a flashcard. You start building an intuition for how the word behaves in the language before you're ever asked to recall it.
The principle behind it
This is comprehensible input — the principle, established by Krashen, that language acquisition happens most effectively when you encounter new words in context just slightly above your current level. Your vocabulary list provides the words. Lexie provides the context. The result is that you're not memorising word pairs in a vacuum. You're reading the language.
Then the recall begins
After reading, the same vocabulary feeds into matching pairs, typed recall, and listening exercises. You've seen the word in context. Now produce it from memory. The passage gives you the understanding. The practice modes test whether it stuck.
Practice modes for language
Matching pairs
Six-pair sets matching words to definitions, translations, or conjugations. Fast, focused, and effective for building the associative links that vocabulary acquisition depends on. See a word, find its pair. The pairing is the learning.
Typed recall
You see a word or phrase. You type the translation from memory. No options, no hints. If you can produce the word, you know it. If you can't, you've identified exactly what needs more work. This is the most demanding form of vocabulary practice and the most effective.
Listening mode
Audio plays a word or phrase in the target language. You type what you hear. This trains the connection between sound and meaning that reading alone never builds. Essential for spoken comprehension and for languages where pronunciation doesn't follow obvious rules from spelling.
Flashcards with audio
Standard flashcard review with audio pronunciation on every card. Hear the word as you review it. Build the sound-meaning connection alongside the visual one. Swipe as Know or Still Learning, and the FSRS algorithm schedules your next review.
Tap-to-translate in detail
34+ target languages
Choose your translation language from 34+ options. Common languages are pinned for quick access — English, Finnish, Swedish, Russian, Arabic, Somali, Estonian, Ukrainian. Your preference persists across sessions.
Context-aware translation
Lexie doesn't just look up the word in a dictionary. It sends the full sentence context to the translation model, so you get the meaning of the word as it's used in that specific sentence. "Bank" translates differently in "river bank" and "bank account." Lexie knows the difference.
Works across your entire study text
Every word in every study set is tappable. Whether you're reviewing flashcards, reading a passage, or working through quiz questions, you can tap any unfamiliar word and get an instant translation without leaving the screen.
Why Lexie works for languages
Your material, your course, your pace
Language learning apps like Duolingo follow a predetermined curriculum and teach through isolated sentences. Lexie works with whatever you're actually studying and generates connected reading passages from your vocabulary. If your French class is covering the subjunctive this week, photograph those notes and get comprehensible reading plus active recall practice on the subjunctive. Not lesson one. Not greetings. The thing you actually need to know for Thursday.
Multiple retrieval pathways
Vocabulary sticks when you encounter it in different ways. Reading it in a generated passage, matching it in pairs, producing it from memory in typed recall, hearing it in listening mode, and reviewing it on a flashcard with audio — that's five different encounters with the same word, each strengthening a different neural pathway. One photo generates all five.
Mixed-language content handled automatically
Students often study with material that mixes languages — a textbook in English explaining French grammar, notes with vocabulary in both languages, bilingual worksheets. Lexie detects and handles multiple languages within the same content. You don't need to sort or separate anything.
Spaced repetition for vocabulary
The FSRS algorithm tracks every word and phrase across all practice modes. Words you struggle with come back sooner. Words you know well are spaced further apart. Your review sessions are always focused on the vocabulary that needs the most work, not the words you already mastered three weeks ago.
Any language, any level
