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.

Snap a photo of an item—a coffee mug, traffic cone, cupcake, anything—and this delightful Apple Design Award–winning language-learning app transforms the photo into a sticker while telling you the name and pronunciation of each item.
i really liked the app but it’s not worth it.
__anonymous_reviewer_
i really liked the app as i loved the idea and simplicity of it. but it’s not worth it in my opinion because the subscription for a year is way too high to justify the apps capabilities. i only used it for like a week or 2 and then didn’t look at it again. if the price was more reasonable then it might be more worth it though. besides this, i also discontinued use as its only flash cards of things you take a picture of. no importing as far as i remember. and only words or very basic sentences. so it can be a cute adon to your learning stack but unless they improve it further i would say it’s not worth the money.
