Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

vocabcraft.com is a modern Anki alternative for language learners. You get frequency-based flashcards with spaced repetition, AI mnemonics, and native audio across our supported languages.

Anki is where most people end up when they get serious about learning a language, but it's clunky, dated, and not built specifically for language learning. You end up spending too much time managing cards and decks instead of learning.

Duolingo holds your hand with a modern look & feel, but its teaching methodology is diffuse and unfocused.

vocabcraft.com strikes a balance between the two by borrowing the flashcard approach of Anki, but with the modern look and feel of Duolingo.

We use multi-round deep-reasoning AI (thousands of dollars in credits) to generate the core list of words, then have teachers and users curate the results to iron out any kinks.

Words are ordered by real-world usage frequency, so you learn the most useful words first. When an official certification exam exists, we use it to order the deck. For example, the Japanese deck follows JLPT levels (N5 to N1).

Yes. Open the site, pick a language, and start studying. Longer term, we hope to make the app sustainable by monetizing premium features (like embedded AI) - we are currently also providing these features at a loss, for free.
Yes. vocabcraft.com is offline-first. All cards are cached locally, so you can practice on the plane or in a train tunnel, and sync with your other devices when you're back online.
Yes, and you should! vocabcraft.com is a Progressive Web App (PWA). Once installed it works exactly like a native app. How you install a PWA depends on your browser and device; visit vocabcraft.com on the device you want to install it on and follow the instructions.
App stores are monopolistic and extractive, hurting both users and devs. With Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), we can sidestep them. Once installed, vocabcraft.com works exactly like a native app.

Sidenote: Vocabcraft is already architected to be a native app; if popular demand arises, we may offer the native option later - we are pragmatists first and foremost, and will listen to popular demand.
Yes. Send your requests to product@vocabcraft.com. We're also actively extending and improving our existing collections.
