Features
Add words from anywhere. Study them five ways.
Below is every feature that ships in Lemnly today. No roadmap-as-marketing — if something is on this page, it’s in the app.
Add from the web
Paste any URL
A news article, an essay, a Wikipedia entry. Lemnly fetches the page, extracts the readable text, and turns the words you don’t know yet into proposed cards. You confirm what you want — nothing lands in your deck without a click.

Add from a book
EPUB, DOCX, plain text
Drop in any document Lemnly can read — EPUB for books, DOCX for exported notes, TXT or Markdown for everything else. Same preview, same drip-fed cards.
Add from paper
Snap a page
For the books that aren’t digital. Take a photo, the AI vision model reads it, you tap the words you want. Works for menus, museum plaques, postcards — anything printed.
La cordialidad era un recurso agotado, y
las postrimerías de la fiesta avanzaban como un sigilo de niebla.
Add from your mouth
Speak words in
Heard a word in a podcast or a conversation? Say it. Voice-to-text adds it to your bulk-add queue with the translation pre-filled — you batch the lot at the end of your day.

New · the in-app reader
Reading Mode
Read the parsed text right in the app. Tap a word for the translation, tap again to add it to your deck — without leaving the page. Words you already know dim into the background so your eye goes straight to the new ones.

Five ways to study
A study mode for the moment
Flashcard for fast review. Typing for active recall. Listening for the ears. Multiple-choice for the bus. Letter-jumble for stubborn spellings. The same cards, the right pressure.
The scheduler
FSRS, forward and reverse
Each card has two independent FSRS schedules — front→back and back→front. Recognition and production are different skills, so they get different curves. The result: fewer reviews for the same retention.
Borrow other people’s work
Public decks, subscribe-able
Publish a deck for the community to subscribe to. Subscribe to someone else’s — their updates flow into yours until you edit a card, at which point it’s yours.
Make it stick
Mnemonic images
Some words don’t fit in your head. Attach an image — your own photo or an AI-generated one — and the card gets a visual hook that makes the next review easier.
The small stuff
Little things that add up.
- Keyboard-first review
- Real-time sync across devices
- Installable PWA
