Nama: Learn Persian

Point your phone at a pomegranate. Nama teaches you anar. Nama turns the world around you into a personal Persian vocabulary deck. Photograph anything — a piece of fruit on the counter, a shop sign down the street, a page of a children's book, a street-food cart — and in a moment you get a beautifully typeset card with the Persian word, its pronunciation, voice playback, and a short example sentence that uses it naturally. Every card keeps your photo as its anchor. The image is the memory. You build a library made literally of your own days, and Nama reviews you on the words that matter to you — not a generic top-2000 list built for somebody else. Designed for both learners starting from zero and heritage speakers who want to reconnect with the language they grew up hearing. Farsi script is rendered with real attention — Gulzar Nastaliq for headwords, Vazirmatn for body text — on a warm editorial layout that doesn't force Persian into English conventions. What you get in Nama: · A camera-first capture loop that goes from shutter to study card in seconds · A personal library of every word you've ever captured, searchable and sortable · Spaced repetition built on FSRS, so the words about to slip from memory come back first · Record-and-compare pronunciation practice so you can hear your voice beside the native reading · Persian audio playback with installed iOS voices and backend speech when available · A beginner-friendly bracketed phonetic guide [ah-NAHR] alongside the Persian script · Thoughtful support for formal and colloquial Tehrani Persian A note on AI: Nama uses a multimodal AI model to turn your photos into teaching cards. Photos move through a secure processing pipeline, are used once to generate the card, and are never stored by us. Your practice recordings stay on your phone and are used only for local Compare playback. Made by a learner, for learners. Feedback always welcome.
