Trancy Air is a shortcut-driven translator that sits ready on macOS and Windows. In any app: select what you can't read and it's translated; write in your own language and one key swaps it to another; too lazy to type, just talk. It also catches mistakes, polishes wording, reads text aloud and scores your pronunciation.
In Japan, 'consent' (konsento) means a power outlet and a 'claim' is a complaint. WaseiGo teaches 1,000+ wasei-eigo, the English-looking words whose meanings Japan reinvented, through illustrated two-voice dialogues with native audio, a searchable dictionary, and picture quizzes. Guess first, then learn why. A free selection to start; a one-time purchase unlocks everything. No subscription.
WIT is an AI communication check for founders and global teams. Paste an email, Slack message or product copy to see how it may land across American, Indian and Singapore English, understand why and get a clearer alternative without losing your voice. Before you hit send, see if your message travels.
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.
Linguar pairs you with a tandem partner — you're learning their language, they're learning yours. Text, voice, and video are built in, with AI on your side: inline translations and explanations without leaving the chat. Highlight any word or correction and it becomes a spaced-repetition flashcard. Unlike lesson apps, everything you learn comes from real conversations with a real person. Free to use, built by a solo founder learning Vietnamese in Ho Chi Minh City.
KanaSensei is a web app for learning to read Japanese. Practice hiragana and katakana with adaptive drills, challenges, memorable mnemonics, native audio, and progress tracking.
Zero is Vercel's experimental programming language designed for a world where AI agents write the code. Instead of editing source text, agents query and patch a semantic program graph while the compiler checks every change. Humans simply ask for outcomes, then review readable code projections when needed. Built from the ground up for agentic coding, with token efficiency, fast builds, low memory, and zero dependencies.
AI translation that remembers your decisions — every terminology and tone choice carries across documents, languages, and your team. Glossaries, styleguides, review, and translation memory built in.
Nitro is now the first human translation service an AI agent can order and pay for on its own — no account, no API keys, no signup. Your agent sends the text, pays per request, and a professional native speaker translates it — publication-ready in hours. Great for the smaller texts that still need to be right: ads, app updates, email sequences, and more. The ordering is machine-to-machine. The translating stays human. 80+ languages. No plans, no minimums.
Free Japanese learning for real life in Japan. Yokoso adapts around what you know, teaches signs, prices and grammar in context, imports WaniKani and Bunpro progress, works offline, and has no ads, streaks or locked lessons.
Meet someone new with a QR code. Start a conversation in English or Japanese — live translation helps you connect. No install needed.
Speakworld — learn Hindi, Japanese and Spanish through playable journeys.
Learn 20,000+ Japanese words with a spaced-repetition system built for long-term memory. Playful, gamified sessions under 5 minutes a day — no boring textbooks. Mainichi skips the flashcard grind. Short, low-pressure sessions that fit into a real day — show up, relax into a round of vocab, and let your streak do the rest. Clean cards. Fast sessions. A progress bar that actually fills up. The interface gets out of the way so you can focus on the words.
Toku turns native Japanese and Chinese — articles, novels, podcasts, and YouTube videos — into something you can actually read. Tap any word for its reading, meaning, and dictionary, without leaving the page. On audio and video you get a synced, word-tappable transcript: tap to learn, slow it down, replay a line, or pause after each sentence to shadow it back. It runs its own JP/CN engine on-device with offline dictionaries — fast, private, no accounts, no streaks. Just reading.
StickerWords turns the world around you into a language lesson. Snap an object, food, sign, or anything nearby, and instantly learn its word in your target language. Each word is saved to your personal vocabulary list with example sentences and spaced repetition reviews, so you don’t just learn it once. You actually remember it!
Capture the new words you're reading with best-effort OCR, understand the word and its sentence with AI, and review them before they fade with FSRS.
Learn words where they make sense. Read stories and your own content, understand words in context with AI, and remember them through a connected learning loop.
