Learn words. Actually remember them. ProWord is a vocabulary app built on spaced repetition. You add the words you want to know, and it brings each one back just before you would forget it — on day 3, then day 7, then day 14, until the word is yours for good. HOW THE 3-7-14 LADDER WORKS Every word you practise climbs one rung. Day 3 — locks it into short-term memory. Day 7 — reinforces the connection. Day 14 — moves it to your Memorized stack, for good. You never have to decide what to study. The app knows what is due today. FLASHCARDS WORTH COMING BACK TO A word sticks when there is something to hang it on. - AI-written example sentences that show the word in real context - Pictures you can attach in a tap, for visual memory - Phonetic transcription, so you know how it sounds - Alternative translations, because most words have more than one - Point your camera at something and let ProWord name it and build the card EIGHT WAYS TO PRACTISE Connect, Type, Listen, Pronounce, Translate, Sentence Quiz, Puzzle and Snake. The same word from different angles is what turns recognition into recall. A WORD ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widget and the word you owe a review sits right there — picture, translation and example included. Glance at it, remember it, carry on. LISTEN INSTEAD OF READING Turn your saved words into an audio track with music and play it in the background: on a walk, on the way to work, at the gym. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Points every time a word graduates, a daily streak worth protecting, and a Game Center leaderboard if you like competing. Switch it all off in a tap if you do not. FIVE LANGUAGES, ANY DIRECTION English, Spanish, Croatian, Ukrainian and Russian — learn any of them from any of the others. YOUR WORDS FOLLOW YOU Everything syncs through iCloud, so a word added on your iPhone is waiting on your iPad. No sign-up, no account to create. START FREE The free plan covers a limited number of words, with no card and no sign-in to get going. Premium removes the limit when you are ready. Built by one developer who uses it every day.

Most language apps grade the part that is cheap to grade: tapping the right tile. You can spend a year that way without writing one sentence anybody reads. HyperGlot grades the sentences you write and the ones you say out loud. ONE SET, FOUR EXERCISES, ABOUT SIX MINUTES Ask for a set and you get four exercises, weighted toward whichever skill your results say is weakest, at the level those results put you on. Read a passage and answer questions on it. Hear the same passage instead of seeing it. Fill the gap. Write the email. Record the reply. Nothing is unlocked on a map. The set is built when you ask for it, out of what your last results showed. A skill you struggled with comes back sooner, and words you missed reappear inside later exercises. WRITING COMES BACK CORRECTED Your own text with the changes in place: what was removed, what belongs there instead, and why. Plus a CEFR read of the level your writing demonstrated, which is not always the level you thought you were on. SPEAKING COMES BACK TRANSCRIBED You see the transcript before you see any score, so you can tell "I said it wrong" from "it heard me wrong". Then a review of the reply itself: what worked, what did not land, what to say instead. A recording that fails never blocks you from finishing. TALK, A CONVERSATION PARTNER Pick a topic, then speak or type every turn. Talk answers in text and in voice. At the end of a conversation you get a CEFR-graded read of how it went. READ REAL BOOKS Photograph a page of a paper book and every word on it becomes tappable: translation, grammar, and audio you can read along with. A library of public-domain stories is there to read the same way. START AT THE ALPHABET Below A1 there is a track that begins with the letters, each one with its sound, then greetings, numbers, family, food, time, directions and 14 more topics. The whole beginner track is unlimited on the free plan. FOR TEACHERS AND TUTORS A classroom on HyperGlot is a roster, generated assignments, and every answer your students gave. Pick the skills, the topic, the level and the length, and the engine writes the set: one for the whole class, or one personalized to a single student from their own weak points. You read the corrected writing and the speech transcripts. Item analysis names the question that tripped most of the group and attaches a short drill for exactly the students who missed it. Students join with an eight-character code or an email invite. A classroom never ranks its students. There is no leaderboard to publish and no place for a struggling student to appear last. NOTHING HERE IS TRYING TO KEEP YOU No streak to protect. No lives to lose. No league to fall out of. No badge for showing up. Take two weeks off and nothing is taken away from you. LANGUAGES Learn Estonian, Russian, Ukrainian or English, in any pair. Estonian is by far the deepest of the four, with the alphabet-up beginner track, audio on every letter, and grammar lookups that return a whole paradigm rather than one gloss. German is next. Separately, the interface itself runs in English, Estonian, Russian, Ukrainian and German. The two settings are independent: read the app in Ukrainian while you learn Estonian. PLANS Free: the whole beginner track unlimited, 3 practice sets a day at A1 and above, 10 Talk turns a day, 5 book pages a month, your word bank, no ads. HyperGlot Pro unlocks everything at every level, book reading included. Classroom seats come through a school or teacher and cost the student nothing, with no daily limit.
