iPhone in hand showing Wordie revealing a flashcard from a photo of a coffee mug
15 seconds

From thing to flashcard in under a second.

You frame the object. Wordie recognises it, dissolves the background into particles, and reveals a card with the word, its pronunciation, an honest definition, and a real example sentence. Then it lives in your deck until you remember it.

  • Recognition runs over a single HTTPS call to Google Gemini Flash — a downscaled thumbnail, nothing else.
  • Translation happens on-device with Apple's Translation framework. No network for the words themselves.
  • SM-2 spaced repetition queues every card for review right before you'd forget it.

Everything you need to actually remember a word.

Built for memory, not for engagement metrics.

Privacy

Your photos never leave your phone unless you ask.

Translation runs on your device with Apple's Translation framework. Cards are stored in your iOS sandbox — never on our servers, because we don't have servers. No account. No email. No advertising SDK. No analytics SDK. No IDFA. When you point the camera at something, a downscaled thumbnail goes to Google's Gemini Flash for that one recognition call — and you can switch even that off in Settings. That's it.

Questions worth answering.

  • Is Wordie free?

    Yes. The free tier includes 5 captures per day and a 50-card deck. Wordie+ removes those limits, adds premium voices, and lets you switch target languages.

  • What languages does Wordie support?

    Twelve target languages: English (US and UK), Turkish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The app interface is localised in eleven languages.

  • How does the camera recognize objects?

    A downscaled thumbnail of your photo is sent to Google Gemini Flash for one recognition call. Subject segmentation and the particle dissolve animation run entirely on-device with Apple Vision. You can disable cloud recognition in Settings and use the on-device Apple Vision classifier instead.

  • Do you collect my photos?

    No. Wordie has no servers. Your photos stay on your device. Only a downscaled thumbnail leaves your device for the single recognition API call — and you can turn that off in Settings to keep everything on-device.

  • Does Wordie work offline?

    Translation, review, and deck management all work offline. Object recognition requires internet, or use the offline Apple Vision fallback that ships in Settings.

  • Is there an Android version?

    Not today. Wordie is iPhone-only because it is built on Apple Vision, the Translation framework, and SwiftData. We are not currently planning an Android port.

  • Can I cancel my subscription?

    Yes, any time. Open iOS Settings, tap your Apple ID, then Subscriptions, then Wordie+. If you cancel during the free trial you are never charged.

  • What if the app misidentifies an object?

    Tap the word in your deck and choose Edit translation to correct it. Your correction stays on your device — Wordie never collects card edits.
