## What is Photo Lingo?

Turn the world around you into a language classroom. Photo Lingo uses AI to transform your photos into personalized vocabulary lessons in 21 languages.

HOW IT WORKS
• Snap a photo of anything - your coffee, a street sign, your pet
• AI identifies objects and teaches you the words in your target language
• Practice pronunciation with real-time speech feedback
• Trace characters to learn writing systems like Japanese, Chinese, and Korean
• Review with smart flashcards that adapt to your memory

STRONGEST ON JAPANESE
Hiragana and katakana drills, kanji character practice, and romaji readings on every word you capture.

YOUR MEMORY MAP
Every photo you take is pinned to a location, creating a personal map of your language journey. Revisit places you've learned and watch your vocabulary grow across the world.

Each photo becomes a mini-lesson with:
- Native audio pronunciation
- Example sentences in context
- Writing practice with stroke guides
