AnyWord: Read & Learn Words

*Read what you actually want to read — and learn every word in it.**

Most vocabulary apps hand you someone else's word list. AnyWord starts from

the thing in front of you: the PDF you were sent, the chapter you photographed,

the article you saved. Open it, tap a word, and its meaning is there. One more

tap and it is a flashcard, with the sentence you met it in already on the back.

**Documents exactly as they were written**

A PDF opens as its printed pages — the columns, the figures, the tables, the

typography. A Word document keeps its headings, its lists, its tables and its

pictures. A spreadsheet stays a grid, with its own column letters. Nothing is

flattened into a wall of grey text. When a page is too dense for a phone, one

tap reflows it to plain text you can size to your eyes.

**Tap a word. Any word.**

Every word on the page is live. Tap one for its meaning; hold and drag across

several for a phrase. What the reader answers with comes in this order:

- your own cards first — instant, and it works with the network off

- then the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: definitions, examples,

phonetic spelling, recordings, and for many words a picture

- and if you would rather read it in Turkish, the translation, with the

English definition kept underneath it

Inflected words are handled: tap "running" and you get "run".

**Scanned pages work too**

Half the PDFs worth reading are photographs of paper — a scanned textbook, a

receipt, a chapter someone copied. AnyWord reads the words off the page itself

and makes them tappable, without moving a thing on it. That reading happens on

your phone, not on a server, and works with no connection at all.

**Every word you save arrives complete**

A card made from a document carries the sentence you actually read it in — far

more use later than any invented example. The dictionary's own example, its

recording, its picture and its phonetic spelling come along too.

**Or bring the words you already have**

Import an Excel sheet, a CSV, a Word file or a text file. AnyWord works out

which column is which, shows you exactly what it found, and lets you fix

anything before a single card is added. Any language pair: English to Turkish,

German to Spanish, Russian to English, whatever you need.

**Five ways to study**

- Flashcards — flip a card and rate how well you knew it

- Learn — guided practice that adapts as a word becomes familiar

- Quiz — pick the right translation out of four

- Writing — type the word from memory

- Matching — pair words against the clock

**Reviews timed for how memory actually works**

Every card is scheduled on its own. Words you find hard come back soon; words

you know well drift further apart, so your time goes where it counts. Every

figure on the progress screen comes from reviews you really did — nothing is

estimated.

**Hear it read by a person, not a robot**

Word lists can link real recordings, and a card plays them at a tap. Anything

without one falls back to your device's own voice, which needs no connection.

**Yours, on your device**

No account. No sign-up. No advertising, and no analytics of any kind. Your

sets, your cards, your progress and the documents you read stay on your phone.

Studying, importing, exporting, reading a document and reading a scanned page

all work with the network switched off.

The network is used for three things, each only when you ask: looking a word up

in the dictionary, translating a selection when you have chosen Turkish, and

downloading a recording or picture a word list links to.
