Why Duory? • Duory is the smartest way to take language notes on your phone. • Duory lets you keep and organize notes for all your target languages in one place. • Save time and stay focused — no more bouncing between Google Search and your notes. • Practice hands-free while doing boring chores. • Improve your output by journaling in your target languages. • Capture interesting phrases from anywhere! • Browse vocabulary from your own notes in a focused, immersive way. • Make them stick with Home and Lock Screen widgets. • Duory supports 40 target languages. NOTES • Duory is designed to perform language tasks on-device thanks to Apple’s language APIs and other offline language tools. • To perform translations, iOS needs to download language dictionaries for each language pair. This only happens once for each pair. • Duory requires access to your microphone for you to record pronunciation of phrases and your camera for scanning text.
