## What is Tarjetas?

'Tarjetas' is a flashcard app for learning Spanish from your own word list.

You add the words you actually meet — in a lesson, a book, a conversation — and drill them until they stick. It works with no connection at all, and stays that way unless you choose otherwise.

WHAT IT DOES

• Your own dictionary. Add nouns with their article and verbs with their conjugation — one at a time, or a whole list at once by photographing it, picking a picture, opening a file or saying the words aloud. Every line is yours to check before it is added. Search it, edit it, delete from it.

• Articles that teach themselves. El and la are colored by gender everywhere a word appears, so the gender is learned along with the word rather than after it.

• Verbs, six forms at a time. Type a regular verb and the present tense fills itself in: hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, habláis, hablan. An irregular verb is typed once and kept. Drills ask one person at a time, not just the infinitive.

• Topics you choose. File a word under any emoji — a house, a paw, an apple — and drill one topic at a time, all at once, or verbs alone.

• It travels. Export your words to a file you keep, and import them back. Everything else moves to a new phone with a code.

• Both directions. Ask Spanish to your language, or your language to Spanish.

• Type or say the answer. Write the word instead of only turning the card over — spelling and accents count — or speak it in Spanish, where your phone's own speech recognition listens and only the text reaches the app.

• Numbers. A drill of generated numbers, for the part of a language no word list covers.

• Spaced repetition. A word you know comes back in a day, then three, then a week, three weeks, two months. A word you miss comes back in the same sitting.

• It speaks. A button on the card says the Spanish aloud, in the voice your phone already has.

FOR A CLASS

• A teacher makes a class and reads out its code. Students type it and the lessons arrive. A class can also have a key, so the code alone is not enough.

• A lesson is its own small dictionary. Drill just this week's words, or everything you have ever been given at once.

• Nothing is taken over your head. When a lesson brings a word you already have, you are asked which wording to keep.

• Homework. A teacher sets it on a lesson, you hand in an answer, and it comes back marked.

• Quizzes. True-or-false, multiple-choice and typed questions, run live with the class. Gold, silver and bronze for the three best scores.

• The teacher sees who has joined, the day you were last there — not the time — and the homework you hand in. The class sees each other's names and a quiz's results. Nobody sees your dictionary or your drills.

FRIENDS

• Add somebody by their code — eight characters, said across a room or sent in a message. No email address, no search, no suggestions.

• Send a friend your dictionary. They choose what to take, word by word, and their wording wins unless they say otherwise.

PRIVACY

There is no sign-up. No email address, no password, no phone number, no real name — the name you type is whatever you want to be called.

Nothing you type leaves your phone until you use the part that needs somebody else's device, or move to a new phone. What leaves then is the name and emoji you chose, the code people find you by, and what you hand over on purpose — a class, a request, a shared dictionary, homework and quiz answers, a report; a move adds the rest, sealed with a code the server never sees. Your word list never leaves.

A photographed list is read on your phone, unless you set Recognition to the cloud: then OCR.space reads it, with no name or code attached.

No advertising, no tracking, no analytics of the app's own. Nothing is sold.

Everything held about you can be deleted from inside the app, in one place.

Schools that would rather hold their own data can run the server themselves.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.6.1 — 2026-09-28

Adding many words at once, reading them in the cloud, and moving to a new phone.

A new page takes a word list however you already have it. Photograph it, pick a picture of one you took earlier, read it out of a file, or say the words aloud. However they arrive, they land on the page as lines of text for you to read over and correct, and nothing reaches your dictionary until you add it yourself.

A photograph is read on your iPhone. A Recognition setting can send it to OCR.space to be read there instead, where handwritten words come out better. It is off until you turn it on in Settings, which asks first, and turning it back stops it. Only the photo goes — nothing saying whose it is — and OCR.space says it keeps none. While it is on, a small cloud sits in the corner of the camera and picture buttons.

The cloud reads under a free allowance that every copy of the app shares, and it starts again each month. If you would rather not share it, or it runs out, paste a free key of your own into the OCR.space field that appears in Settings once Recognition is set to the cloud. The help page links to where you get one. Emptying the field goes back to the shared key.

Export writes your words to a file you choose and keep — on the device, or anywhere the file picker can reach. Import reads one back in. It is the backup the app never had, and the way to carry a word list from one phone to another.

Your account can now move to a new phone without a backup to restore. On the old phone, open Settings and press the amber phone with the arrow going out: it shows a twelve-character code. On the new phone, press the green phone with the arrow coming in and type the code. Everything comes across but your words: your code, name and emoji, your settings, the classes you teach with their students, lessons, quizzes and key, the class you are in with your homework, your friends, your blocks and your drill progress. The old phone lets go of the account once the new one has it. For the words, export them on the old phone and import them on the new one, where your progress is waiting for them. The code works until the new phone has your account, for an hour at most, and stops if you close it on the old phone before it is typed. What goes with it is sealed with the code, which never leaves the two phones.

The help page also says what Offline mode is: a do-not-disturb for the server. It stops the app talking to the server, and reading in the cloud still works while it is on. The help page has a line for each of the two phone buttons, and its foot now links the privacy policy.

In the drill, tapping a card now turns it over, where before it only switched sides. When you say your answers, the start of each one is no longer cut off, and music playing in another app stays quiet from one card to the next rather than rising in between. Words keep their drill progress when you edit, rename or merge them, and a word falls due from 4 a.m. on its day.

Fixed: a teacher's phone restored from an older backup could put its old copy of a class over the new one, losing the homework handed in since for any lesson the old copy did not have. With a backup made from this version on, the server refuses the older copy and the phone takes the class as it stands. A teacher's changes are no longer lost when publishing fails, a new lesson no longer shows the answer written for a deleted one, and homework changed while a student is answering it now reaches their page. A quiz pick can no longer change while its answer is on its way, and a friend accepted while offline stays accepted. A code typed with a space in it, or with Cyrillic letters that look like Latin ones, is read as the code it is. And copying a number card works, a card no longer clips on its way back into the numbers drill, and the role switch in Settings stands in line with everything else in its column.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-18

Classes can do much more.

Homework: a teacher sets it on a lesson, students hand in their answers, and the teacher marks the mistakes and returns each answer checked.

Quizzes: a teacher writes true-or-false, multiple-choice and typed questions and runs them live with the class, and everyone sees the results at the end, with gold, silver and bronze for the three best scores. A student who missed a quiz can take it later, and anyone who has taken it can take it again on their own.

A key on a class means the code alone is no longer enough to join. Students see their classmates, and a teacher can take a student out of a class and let them back in.

Say your answer instead of typing it. When you answer in Spanish with typing on, tap the microphone beside the answer field. Each right answer moves you to the next card, and the app keeps listening.

You can delete every word in your dictionary at once. The app asks first and tells you how many words will go.

When the app has no server, for example after you delete your account, the Friends and Classroom pages now say so, and one tap brings back the default server. Adding a friend or joining a class now needs a working connection, and the code you typed stays in the box until there is one.

Blocks now stay when you switch servers or a server is reset.

Music and podcasts from other apps no longer stay quiet after a card has spoken.
