MemoWord — Your Personal Word Notebook
wordnote · flashcards · word coach
The words you meet
in the wild — finally
caught and kept.

MemoWord is the pocket notebook that never loses a page. Jot down the word you heard in class, saw in a book, or caught mid-conversation — then learn it 2–3× faster than flipping paper cards.

who is it for
One app, three very different kinds of word-hunter.
Stop memorizing someone else's word list.

The "top 1000 words in English" is a waste of your weekend if half of them don't belong in your life. MemoWord flips the script: you collect the words you keep running into — in class, in novels, in subtitles, in the wild — and the app drills them until they stick.

Type it, paste it, dictate it. Translate, hear the pronunciation, add a note, tuck it into a set. Done in seconds.

éphémère fleeting

brouillard fog
chuchoter to whisper
voyage journey
égaré lost, astray
A phrasebook that actually talks back.

Before you leave, download the traveler's packs for your destination — greetings, directions, hotel check-in, ordering dinner, asking where the restroom is without pointing. Listen to them on the plane, mouth them in the taxi, and land already sounding like you're trying.

Can't find the exact phrase you need? Type it, let the app translate and read it aloud to the concierge. No more staring at a menu and guessing.

dov'è il bagno? where's the bathroom?
il conto, per favore the bill, please
un espresso, grazie an espresso, thanks
quanto costa? how much?
mi sono perso I'm lost
Homework that students actually do.

Type the week's vocabulary into the app, add notes and examples, and send the set to your students with one tap. They download it, drill it between your classes, and walk in already knowing how to say the words — so you can spend the lesson on the things that actually need you there.

Save hours every week on prep, and double what sinks in per session. Ask about our subscription bundles for classrooms — we like working with teachers.

the method
The old flashcard trick — minus the paper, the glue, and the afternoon.

Your parents did this with a shoebox of index cards. It worked. It also took half a summer to build a deck and another summer to drill it.

MemoWord keeps the psychology and ditches the paper. Spaced repetition schedules each card for the exact moment you're about to forget it. Audio plays the word in the accent you asked for. Swipe right for "got it," swipe left for "back in the stack." The app does the bookkeeping so you can do the learning.

No gimmicks. No streaks guilt-tripping you at 11pm. Just the shortest path between seeing a new word and never forgetting it.

2–3×

Faster to memorize than traditional paper flashcards, according to studies on spaced repetition.

Distinct learning modes — so boredom never catches up with you.

Cards per deck, decks per profile, profiles per life. Collect as you go.

when to learn
Idle minutes are language lessons in disguise.

The commute. The grocery line. The dishes. A 40-minute drive. You already have the time — you just haven't been using it. MemoWord slides into every gap of your day.

01 / waiting
Dead time → study time

Queues, transit, the ten minutes before a meeting starts. Pull out the phone, swipe six cards, put it away. You just did something.

02 / moving
Walks, runs, laundry

Hit play and let the deck read itself to you while you do everything else. Built for hands-free, screen-optional learning.

03 / driving
Behind the wheel

Traffic jams, highway miles, the school run. The hands-free mode plays word → pause → translation so you can recall out loud and verify.

Where do the good words come from?

Two places: the ones you find yourself, and the ones we've already curated. Mix both.

your finds
Catch the words you actually need.

Heard something in a podcast? Saw a phrase on a sign? Your friend used a word you don't know? Add it in three seconds. That's the vocabulary that matters — because you already know exactly where you'll use it.

Or import an Excel file with up to 300 entries — paste from your notes, the textbook glossary, anywhere.

curated sets
Ready-made decks, built by real teachers.

Exam prep, travel packs, irregular verbs, phrasal verbs, business vocab, slang, IT — download what fits and trim what doesn't.
