Built for reading, not flashcards

Vocabulary that shows up while you're already reading something you care about sticks a lot better than a word list.

Both directions, automatically

Select an English word and see it in Finnish, or a Finnish word and see it in English — detected automatically, no language picker.

🔊

Hear it, correctly

Click the speaker icon to hear the Finnish pronunciation, using your browser's own text-to-speech — always the Finnish side, since that's the point.

🧠

Spaced-repetition review

Every word you look up is saved automatically. A Leitner-box quiz brings words back at increasing intervals until they actually stick.

Words you know, tracked separately

Get a word right consistently and it graduates out of active review into a "known words" list — progress you can actually see.

See it in action

Works reading English or Finnish, and remembers everything you've looked up. Scroll or use the arrows to see more.
