Piksi
Every word you forget was almost yours
Piksi transforms language acquisition by letting users instantly get definitions and translations from any text using their device's camera. Key features include:
• Instant word lookup via camera scan
• Offline definitions and translations
• Structured language lessons by CEFR level
• Color-coded sentence translation
• Spaced repetition for vocabulary retention
Piksi acts as an on-device language learning partner, allowing you to simply point your camera at text—be it a book, menu, or sign—and tap any word for an instant definition, pronunciation, synonyms, antonyms, and usage examples. You can save captured words to your personal library for future study, making every interaction with text an opportunity to expand your vocabulary.
The application offers comprehensive language lessons organized by CEFR levels, from A1 to C2. These lessons integrate reading passages with diverse interactive exercises such as matching words, fill-in-the-blanks, listen & choose, true/false, typing answers, and flashcard reviews. New vocabulary is introduced within context, promoting a natural and effective learning process. Additionally, a unique color-coded translation feature allows users to circle any sentence and see how words map between languages, enhancing comprehension.
Designed for language learners of all levels, Piksi employs spaced repetition to ensure vocabulary is revisited at optimal intervals, preventing forgetting and reinforcing long-term memory. This system adapts to your learning progress across recognition, active recall, and production phases, gamifying the experience with XP, level-ups, and streak tracking. It's an essential tool for anyone committed to mastering a new language.
