TurnCards — Voice-First Flashcards for Real Language Learners Flashcards that listen back: Most flashcard apps make you read, type, or tap. TurnCards makes you speak — the way language actually works. Hear your prompt, say the answer out loud, and on-device speech recognition grades it instantly. It's vocabulary review that feels closer to a real conversation, built to grow speaking confidence, not just recall. WHY TURNCARDS • English, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, German, French or any other. Whatever your primary and learning language TurnCards supports it. • Voice grading — Speak your answer out loud. On-device speech recognition evaluates it in real time, no typing and no tapping. • Native pronunciation — Every card is spoken in the correct accent with high-quality text-to-speech, so you hear it before you say it. • CEFR levels — Filter cards by A1–C1 and study exactly the vocabulary that matches where you are right now. • Smart bookmarks — Save tricky cards and build focused sessions from just your saved words. • AI enhancement — Tap ••• on any deck and choose Enhance with AI to generate example sentences and topic tags for every card, on device. • Import any deck — Drop in a JSON, CSV, TSV, or Anki .apkg file and it converts automatically, carrying over levels and example sentences. SEVEN WAYS TO STUDY • Voice / Type — Speak or type your answer. Spaced repetition tracks accuracy and schedules the next review. • Multiple Choice — Pick from four options. Great for recognition practice while you warm up. • Match — Drag pairs together. Builds pattern recognition fast. • Mixed — Alternates recall and recognition card by card to keep your brain engaged. • Fill in the blank - Say the word that fits the missing spot in the sentence to practice context. • Pronunciation - Nail the accent with the stress on the right syllable. • Listen — Audio-only. Perfect for commutes or eyes-free practice. • Cram — Loop your deck until you quit, with no impact on your spaced-repetition schedule — ideal for last-minute exam prep. SMART SPACED REPETITION TurnCards uses a refined SM-2 algorithm with three difficulty levels — Hard, Good, Easy — so the cards you struggle with come back sooner and the ones you've mastered fade quietly into review. Mark a card Known once you've nailed it and it steps aside. Streaks, accuracy percentage, and total cards known all sit front and center so you can see real progress. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS • Stats — streak, accuracy, and cards known at a glance. • Favorite — long-press to pick one saved study configuration; tap to launch. • Favorites (3) — three configurable slots for one-tap access to your go-to sessions. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY No accounts. No analytics. No cloud sync controlled by us. Speech recognition runs on-device using Apple's Speech framework — your voice is never recorded or transmitted. Your decks, cards, bookmarks, and progress stay on your phone. Uninstall the app and everything goes with it. MANY LANGUAGES, YOUR WAY Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, and more — TurnCards works with any pair of languages Apple supports. Start with the built-in starter deck, build your own card by card, or paste a word list and let on-device Apple Translation generate a deck for you. WHO IT'S FOR Language learners building real fluency. Students prepping for exams. Anyone tired of flashcard apps that forget you're trying to speak the language, not just read it. FREE, AD-SUPPORTED TurnCards is genuinely free. A small banner that never interrupts your study keeps the lights on. No subscription, no nags, no tracking by us. Speak. Listen. Learn.
