## What is Word List?

For school tests, what matters most is learning exactly what your school and your class will cover.
Word List lets you build your own word lists for the words a store-bought vocabulary book doesn't have.
Reading words aloud and writing them by hand helps them stick.

YOUR OWN WORD LISTS
• Create folders to organize words by lesson or unit
• Study English, French, Korean, Chinese, and more — 32 languages in all
• Choose the word and translation languages for each folder or each word

BUILD A LIST FROM A PHOTO OF YOUR TEXTBOOK
• Take a photo of a textbook or handout to read the words and add them all at once
• Reads English and 20 other languages, including French, German, and Chinese
• Set your level to leave basic words out of the suggestions (English only)
• Reading happens on your device. Images are never sent anywhere.
• Translations are filled in automatically (iOS 18 or later; not available for some languages)

LEARN BY SPEAKING
• Reading aloud is a good way to start learning new words
• Speech recognition checks the words you say

WRITE IT DOWN
• Handwriting recognition reads what you write
• Actually moving your hand makes words stick much better

FILL-IN-THE-BLANK QUESTIONS
• On-device AI writes example sentences with your words (iOS 26 or later, on devices that support Apple Intelligence; not available for some languages)
• Fill-in-the-blank questions from those sentences help you learn each word along with how it's used

LEARN KANJI TOO
• Set the word language to Japanese and the translation to Japanese (Hiragana) to make cards that pair kanji with their readings
• Readings are filled in for you
• Practice writing the kanji for a reading shown in an example sentence (uses example sentences made by AI example sentences)

KEEP GOING, KEEP IMPROVING
• Your accuracy is recorded
• A ranking shows your weakest words at a glance
• Spaced repetition quizzes you on each word right when it's due for review (Unlock All Features)

SHARE AND SYNC
• Swap word lists with friends via AirDrop or Messages
• iCloud sync keeps the same lists on all your devices

UNLOCK ALL FEATURES (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)

### 4/5 — リクエスト

*2026-09-23*

今、お試しでで使っています。
理想とするアプリにかなり近いです。
英文練習がしたかったので、英単語だけでなく英文も登録できて便利です。
とても良いアプリだと思います。

リクエストがあります。
正誤確認ボタンを押すまで、書き文字が正しくアプリに認識されているかわかりません。
確認ボタンを押す前に入力文字を確認したいです。大文字で書かなくてはいけないところを小文字で書いても正解になるのはバグでしょうか。


忘却曲線の出題方法でも学習したいです。
不正解なら、 1日後再出題 
正解なら、 3日後再出題。正解したら → 7日後再出題、正解したら → 16日後 → 36日後 → 80日後 → 180日後、、、

一番困るのは、間違えた時にどこが間違いなのか自分で探さなくてはならないことと、解答の読み上げがないこと。
ここが課金しようか一番悩むところです。

ご一考いただけるとうれしいです。

**Developer response:** 貴重なご意見をお寄せいただき、ありがとうございます。
頂いたご要望について、現状と今後の予定をお知らせします。

・解答の読み上げ
演習開始前の「解答」セクションの「正解の読み上げ」をオンにしておくと、解答後に正解を読み上げますが、これとはまた異なる機能でしょうか？

・間違えた箇所の表示
回答と正解で異なる部分を分かりやすく表示する機能を検討します。

・確認ボタンを押す前の認識結果の表示
書いた文字がどう認識されているかを、確認ボタンを押す前に表示することを検討します。

・大文字と小文字
c・o・s・w など大文字と小文字の形がほとんど同じものがあるため、手書きで正しく書いたつもりでも不正解とされてしまわないよう、現在は大文字と小文字を区別せずに採点しています。
区別が必要な場面をどう取り扱うか、今後検討してまいります。

・忘却曲線での出題
具体的な間隔までお書きいただき、ありがとうございます。
設計の参考にさせていただきます。

今後も学習のお役に立てるよう、より使いやすいアプリにしていきます。
引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-05

Review words at just the right time with spaced repetition.

NEW FEATURES

[Spaced Repetition]
A new question order, Spaced Repetition, picks the right time to review each word
based on your answers, and quizzes you only on words that are due for review or
that you haven't studied yet.
Each correct answer stretches the interval: 1 → 3 → 7 → 16 → 36 → 80 → 180 days.
A wrong answer starts the word over.
You can check each word's next review date and review stage on its edit screen.
* The Spaced Repetition question order is part of "Unlock All Features".

[See exactly what was wrong]
When a voice or handwritten answer is wrong, the parts that differ from the
correct answer are marked.

[See handwriting recognition as you write]
When you finish writing, what was recognized appears before you press the check
button, so you can make sure it's right before you answer.

[Read the answer aloud]
The answer card now has a button that reads the answer aloud, even when
"Read Answer Aloud" is turned off in Settings.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Voice and handwriting answer areas now show which language to answer in.
• When a handwritten answer differs only in uppercase and lowercase letters,
  it's still marked correct, with a note pointing out the difference.
• In word lists, Add Folder is now in the + menu, and Select and Sort are now
  in the … menu.
• When words added on a device without Apple Intelligence arrive through iCloud,
  a device that supports it now creates their example sentences automatically
  (when Generate Examples Automatically is on).
• Fixed an issue where moving words could fail the first time.
• Fixed an issue where answers weren't recorded if you ended a quiz partway through.
• Fixed an issue where automatically filled-in readings garbled katakana long vowel
  marks and Latin letters (such as コーヒー and Tシャツ).

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-04

Study words in languages beyond English.

NEW FEATURES

[Support for 32 languages]
Make word lists in French, Korean, Chinese, and more — 32 languages in all.
Choose the word and translation languages for each folder or each word.
Reading aloud, voice answers, and handwritten answers all use the language you choose.
* Automatic translations and AI example sentences aren't available for some languages.

[Read words from photos in more languages]
Taking a photo of a textbook or handout to add its words now works in 20 languages,
including French, German, and Chinese.
* Outside English, words appear as they're written in the text (not in their base forms).
  Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese are coming later.

[Kanji and reading cards]
Set the word language to Japanese and the translation to Japanese (Hiragana)
to make cards that pair kanji with their readings. Readings are filled in for you.
When these cards quiz you on the translation, you write the kanji for a reading
shown in an example sentence.
* Kanji writing uses example sentences made by AI example sentences.

[Default languages]
Choose the languages for new words under Default Languages in Settings.
The setting syncs to your other devices via iCloud.

[Language suggestions]
When you add words, the app guesses their language from what you type and
offers to switch to it.

[Better CSV import]
Choose which columns become the word, translation, and folder when you import.
You can also pick whether the first row is a header, the text encoding
(such as Shift_JIS), the delimiter (tab or semicolon), and the languages.
Exported files now record their languages, which are picked up on import.

[Help getting started]
When you haven't added any words yet, the home screen shows how to get started.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Japanese voice answers are now graded correctly even when kanji, hiragana,
  and katakana differ.
• Japanese handwritten answers are now graded correctly even when hiragana
  and katakana differ.
• You're now asked before handwriting recognition data is downloaded over cellular.
• Fixed an issue where CSV files with CRLF line endings couldn't be imported.
