Save time and stay focused—no more bouncing between translation apps, Google search and your notes. Study, practice, and reflect with dynamic language notes. 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.

About

LingoPick

Features
Read full description

LingoPick is an app that helps you record videos and creators that are useful for language learning, and organize the expressions you learn from those videos into study notes. When you find a video that teaches useful English expressions, a language-learning creator you want to revisit, or content that fits your learning style, save it in LingoPick. You can record the expression you learned from the video, its meaning, example sentences, source information, category, and study status, then manage everything as your own study notes. LingoPick is not just an app for saving expressions. You can explore notes shared by other users and discover new study videos and creators through them. A note someone else organized can naturally lead you to think, “Maybe I should study with this creator’s video too.” Key Features • Video-based study notes Save expressions you learn from videos that are useful for language learning. • Creator and source records Record the video, creator, and source information where you learned each expression, so you can find it again later. • Expression organization Manage foreign-language expressions, meanings, example sentences, categories, and study status in one place. • Explore shared notes View study notes shared by other users and see which videos and creators they used for learning. • Discover study videos Find new language-learning content and creators through shared notes. • Likes and saved notes Like notes you find useful or save them so you can revisit them later. • Meaning quiz Review your saved expressions by choosing the correct meaning. • Sentence ordering Practice expressions by arranging words in the correct order to complete a sentence. • Study status management Keep track of expressions you have learned and expressions that still need review. • Notifications and profiles Check reactions to your notes, visit other users’ profiles, and explore their shared notes. LingoPick is useful for: • People who study English or other languages through videos • Learners who want to record useful language-learning videos and YouTube creators • Users who want to organize expressions they learn from videos into notes • People who want to discover study videos and expression notes shared by others • Learners who want to review foreign-language expressions, conversation phrases, and example sentences • Anyone who wants to build a personal video-based language learning library Record good videos, organize useful expressions, and discover new learning content through other people’s notes. LingoPick helps you collect, share, and review foreign-language expressions learned from videos.
