Turn any foreign language text into a complete study session
Photograph your textbook, vocabulary list, or class notes in any language. Lexie generates reading passages, matching pairs, typed recall, listening exercises, and flashcards from a single photo. 34+ languages supported.
How it works
Photograph your language material
Take a photo of your vocabulary list, textbook page, grammar notes, or worksheet. Lexie detects both the content language and your app language automatically.
Study with flashcards
Lexie generates flashcards from your vocabulary with audio pronunciation on every card. Swipe as Know or Still Learning. Cards you don't know come back until you do.
Test yourself
Matching pairs, typed recall where you produce the word from memory, and listening exercises where audio plays and you type what you hear. Different ways to test the same vocabulary.
From memorizing words to understanding sentences
Learn the words first
Photograph a vocabulary list and Lexie generates flashcards, matching pairs, typed recall, and listening exercises. You practice producing each word from memory before you ever see it in context. The words become familiar through retrieval, not just reading.
Then see them in context
Once the vocabulary feels solid, generate a reading passage from the same words. Lexie creates connected sentences and paragraphs that use your vocabulary naturally. You're not memorizing word pairs in a vacuum anymore. You're reading the language.
The principle behind it
Retrieval first, then comprehensible input. You build the vocabulary through active practice, then encounter those words in context just above your current level. The practice gives you the knowledge. The reading gives you the intuition for how the language works.
Practice modes for language
Matching pairs
Six-pair sets matching words to definitions, translations, or conjugations. Fast, focused, and effective for building the associative links that vocabulary acquisition depends on. See a word, find its pair. The pairing is the learning.
Typed recall
You see a word or phrase. You type the translation from memory. No options, no hints. If you can produce the word, you know it. If you can't, you've identified exactly what needs more work. This is the most demanding form of vocabulary practice and the most effective.
Listening mode
Audio plays a word or phrase in the target language. You type what you hear. This trains the connection between sound and meaning that reading alone never builds. Essential for spoken comprehension and for languages where pronunciation doesn't follow obvious rules from spelling.
Flashcards with audio
Standard flashcard review with audio pronunciation on every card. Hear the word as you review it. Build the sound-meaning connection alongside the visual one. Swipe as Know or Still Learning, and the FSRS algorithm schedules your next review.
Why Lexie works for languages
Your material, your course, your pace
Language learning apps like Duolingo follow a predetermined curriculum and teach through isolated sentences. Lexie works with whatever you're actually studying and generates connected reading passages from your vocabulary. If your French class is covering the subjunctive this week, photograph those notes and get comprehensible reading plus active recall practice on the subjunctive. Not lesson one. Not greetings. The thing you actually need to know for Thursday.
Multiple retrieval pathways
Vocabulary sticks when you encounter it in different ways. Reading it in a generated passage, matching it in pairs, producing it from memory in typed recall, hearing it in listening mode, and reviewing it on a flashcard with audio — that's five different encounters with the same word, each strengthening a different neural pathway. One photo generates all five.
Mixed-language content handled automatically
Students often study with material that mixes languages — a textbook in English explaining French grammar, notes with vocabulary in both languages, bilingual worksheets. Lexie detects and handles multiple languages within the same content. You don't need to sort or separate anything.
Spaced repetition for vocabulary
The FSRS algorithm tracks every word and phrase across all practice modes. Words you struggle with come back sooner. Words you know well are spaced further apart. Your review sessions are always focused on the vocabulary that needs the most work, not the words you already mastered three weeks ago.
Any language, any level
