Turn the world into your vocabulary book.
CapWords is the first app that lets you capture words from real life and instantly turn them into smart flashcards. See an interesting word on a sign, book, or screen? Just snap a photo, and CapWords will recognize the text, provide AI-powered definitions, and add it to your personal vocabulary library.
HOW IT WORKS
• Point your camera at any text
• AI instantly recognizes and extracts words
• Get smart definitions with context
• Words automatically saved to your vocabulary
• Review with intelligent spaced repetition
WHY CAPWORDS?
Traditional vocabulary apps make you type words manually or browse pre-made lists. CapWords changes that completely.
CAPTURE FROM REAL LIFE
See a word while reading, traveling, or studying? Snap it. The photo becomes your memory anchor, helping you remember where and when you learned each word.
AI-POWERED UNDERSTANDING
Our AI doesn't just give you dictionary definitions. It analyzes context from your photo to provide relevant meanings, example sentences, and usage notes.
SMART REVIEW SYSTEM
Forget about forgetting. CapWords uses spaced repetition algorithms to remind you to review words just before you'd forget them.
VISUAL MEMORY BOOST
Studies show visual context dramatically improves retention. Each word stays connected to the image where you found it.
