KEY FEATURES
• Silk Word of the Day
A new silk term every day on the Library screen — listen to it, shuffle for another, or open the full entry.
• A–Z Library & Instant Search
Browse alphabetically with the A–Z index, or search by term name or inside definitions, with ranked results.
• Spoken Pronunciation
Hear any term and its definition read aloud, each in its own language, with adjustable speed and pitch.
• See Also
Each entry links to related glossary terms mentioned in its definition, so you can keep exploring.
• Quizzes
10-question multiple-choice rounds that mix "what does this term mean?" and "which term matches this definition?", with score, streak, and best-streak tracking.
• Bookmarks, Recent & My Terms
Bookmark terms, revisit recently viewed entries, and add your own custom terms and definitions in any of the 15 languages, one at a time or in bulk with CSV import and export. You can also hide the built-in terms and use only your own.
• 15 Interface Languages
Use the app in English, Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Russian or Arabic (right-to-left). The bundled glossary is in English.
