## What is WordCorder?

WordCorder - where the Hanja you meet while reading stays with you.

Read the news, scroll a blog, skim a doc - just like always. The Korean body stays untouched, and Hanja quietly appears as small badges right beside the words. Tap a badge and its reading, meaning, and grade unfold inline. Each time the same character reappears across articles, it settles into memory on its own - without you ever opening a flashcard.

=== Common struggles, solved ===
· The Hanja book you never open - No book to crack open. The Hanja comes to you in the pages you already read.
· Memorizing without context - You meet Hanja inside real sentences, so the meaning and sound stay together.
· No time to study - No study time needed. Your reading time is when you meet Hanja.

=== How it works ===
1. Open any Korean page in Safari. Hanja badges automatically appear next to selected words.
2. Tap a badge to expand:
   · reading · meaning · grade · other words that share the same character
3. Use "I know this" / "Show more often" to control exposure frequency. A character you mark as known is never injected again.
4. The more you read, the more familiar each Hanja becomes.

=== Key features ===
· Hanja grade slider - 8 tiers (H8~H1). Use the "Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced / All" presets for one-tap setup.
· Four intensity levels - Light / Balanced / Focused / Immersive. From subtle hints that barely touch the text to active, frequent exposure.
· Two display modes
  · Inline (default) - original text stays, badges appear next to it.
  · Replace - the word itself is swapped; hover to peek at the original.
· Adaptive emphasis - background tint and weight auto-adjust to match each page.
· "I know this" auto-exclude - Hanja you've grown familiar with leave only a small check mark and stop appearing.
· Japanese injection (experimental, Pro) - grow familiar with Japanese beyond Hanja.
· English injection (experimental, Pro) - for those who also want vocabulary exposure on English pages.

=== Best for ===
· People who read a lot of Korean - news, blogs, docs.
· Anyone whose Hanja-test workbook never made it past day three.
· Anyone who wants Hanja steadily by their side without setting time aside.

* If you prefer hand-curating your own Hanja list, WordCorder works a little differently than what you may be used to.
