## What is Ordino?

The best advice you can give a child is a good vocabulary.

Ordino is a Swedish dictionary for anyone who reads a word and doesn't know what it means. The app is in Swedish only. Your child types the word roughly the way it sounds, for example "sjärna" or "sykel", and Ordino still finds it. First comes an explanation in simple words, then the dictionary's own text. Everything can be read aloud.

Every word your child looks up goes into Mitt ordförråd (My vocabulary). There your child practises in a small game: the explanation shows with the word taken out, and your child drags the right word into place. The words come back after 1, 3 and 7 days until they stick.

Ordino is made for families learning to read Swedish: in Sweden, in Swedish-speaking Finland, abroad, and new to the language. The simple explanations and read-aloud help adults who are new to Swedish too.

• Over 22,000 words from Lexin, with inflections from SALDO

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-24

New under More: Text size makes text larger than the iPhone's own size, and headings grow just enough for the words to fit. New typeface: OpenDyslexic. The start word now shows on a card that always fits the screen, and the search field, list, and tabs keep their text centred. The shelves in My vocabulary stand out more.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-21

My vocabulary now follows you to your other iPhones and iPads on the same Apple ID. Read-aloud clips that misread have been re-recorded and no longer take up space in your iCloud backup.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-20

Small improvements to the start screen: it is now clearer what is free and what a purchase unlocks.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-12

No release notes.
