Photo Lingo: Language Learning
Learn Languages from Photos
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn the world around you into a language classroom. Photo Lingo uses AI to transform your photos into personalized vocabulary lessons in 21 languages.
HOW IT WORKS
• Snap a photo of anything - your coffee, a street sign, your pet
• AI identifies objects and teaches you the words in your target language
• Practice pronunciation with real-time speech feedback
• Trace characters to learn writing systems like Japanese, Chinese, and Korean
• Review with smart flashcards that adapt to your memory
STRONGEST ON JAPANESE
Hiragana and katakana drills, kanji character practice, and romaji readings on every word you capture.
