Aksan
Armenian, one glance at a time
Free
Aksan puts one Armenian letter or phrase in front of you at a time, all day, on the surfaces you already look at.
There are no lessons and no study sessions. A complication on your watch face and a widget on your home screen show one thing at a time and move on by themselves — every hour, or three times a day, whichever suits you. Tap to hear it. Tap again for what it means.
That is the whole idea. Recognition is built by meeting a letter twenty times in passing, not by grinding it once. Aksan is designed to be glanced at and closed, not opened and worked through.
WHAT IS IN IT
- The 40 letters of the Armenian alphabet, each with a recording, its name, and the words it appears in
- 134 everyday phrases — greetings, food, directions, shopping, getting by
- A circular complication and a phrase complication for the watch face
- Widgets for iPhone and iPad, with Listen and Next on the tile itself
- Pin any letter or phrase to keep it in view until midnight
- Put a phrase on your Lock Screen for an hour to four, and it stays there while you are out
- English or Russian, with the pronunciation written for whichever one you read
NO STREAKS
Nothing here punishes a missed day. There is no streak to break, no notification asking where you went, and no mascot. Come back after three weeks and Aksan shows you what is ready, not what you missed.
PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
Everything is on your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, nothing sent anywhere. It works with no connection at all, and the watch app runs on its own if your phone is elsewhere.
Pronunciation audio is synthesized.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Typing goes both ways now.
A Back button sits beside Next, so reaching the next phrase a moment early no longer costs you the one before it. Delete works too — it takes back the letter you just typed, and half a ligature before it takes a whole letter. Both are there for the keystroke that landed and should not have; a wrong key still simply does nothing.
The finished screen has a Back as well, so the phrase you skipped and then meant to return to is reachable.
A phrase is counted when you finish it rather than when you leave it. The summary at the end used to miss a phrase you had genuinely typed.
Search folds letters the way your language does. Searching for the ligature that spells the word and used to return most of the vocabulary; now it returns the words that actually contain it.
And the line offering the phrase back when the keyboard stops responding is a real button, so VoiceOver can reach it.
Still nothing scored, and still no streak to keep.
