Learn the language. Keep the knowledge. Paste a link to an article or video, add a PDF or ebook, or paste any text. Scribo rewrites it in the language you're learning, at your level, in sections you can finish in about five minutes. There's no placement test and no level to pick. Scribo works out your level from what you do and writes the next piece to fit. Learn from what you care about Start from the articles, videos and books you actually want to understand, not a fixed course. Long books come in parts, so nothing is too long to begin. Get unstuck without leaving the page Tap any word to see what it means and save it with one tap. Select a sentence you don't follow and Ask Scribo about it. Make it yours At the end of a section, answer one question in your own words, typed or spoken. Putting it into words is what makes it stay. Practice in a few minutes a day Practice brings back the words you saved right before you'd forget them, and mixes in building sentences, listening to lines from your videos, speaking and writing. When you speak or write, Scribo shows what to fix and how it would sound more natural. Save words from anywhere Write a word with Apple Pencil, type it, point your camera at a page, or share it from another app. Scribo fills in the meaning and examples.

That picture decides how your next piece is written.
