Fun lessons from your world

See a word on a menu, sign, or manga page — WordDex builds a full 12-round lesson around it. Your vocabulary, from your life.

How it works

From a word in the wild to a lesson in your Dex

Four steps. No typing required. Every word you catch becomes something you can practice.

01

See a word

Spot something on a menu, street sign, product label, or manga panel you want to learn.

02

Scan it

Point your camera at the text. WordDex reads it and picks out the word you want to learn.

03

Do a 12-round lesson

Matching, fill-in-the-blank, sentence building, and speaking — a full lesson built around that word.

04

It joins your Dex

The word is collected into your personal vocabulary. Spaced repetition brings it back until it sticks.

What makes WordDex different

Your words, not ours

Most language apps teach from a fixed curriculum. WordDex builds lessons from the words you actually encounter — so what you learn is relevant to your life, your trip, your reading.

Lessons from your environment

Every lesson starts with a word you chose — not a generic phrase from a textbook unit you may never need.

Full lessons, not just definitions

Each word gets a complete 12-round practice session: meaning, context, sentences, and speaking.

A Dex that grows with you

Your collection is built from real encounters. Review what you caught until it becomes yours.
