# Lingueez

**[lingueez.app](https://lingueez.app)**

A desktop app for building, studying, and remembering vocabulary across languages.

Add words and they translate automatically; listen to them on repeat and watch each

one climb from *New* to *Mastered* as you do; review them with spaced-repetition

flashcards; read whole texts with side-by-side translations and synced audio; and

keep everything in sync across devices.

## Features

- **Words** — add, edit, and organize entries with statuses, favorites, tags, and

  two definition fields.

- **Learning progression** — words advance *New → Reviewing → Learning → Mastered*

  as you listen, with configurable listen thresholds.

- **Flashcards** — spaced-repetition review (SM-2): build a deck from due cards, a

  filter, or selected words; grade yourself *Hard / Good / Easy* with scheduled-interval

  previews — or play the deck as audio and let the cards flip in sync with the voice.

- **Search & filters** — live search across words, translations, and tags; filter by

  language, status, tag, or favorites.

- **Translation** — Google Translate, with optional DeepL integration.

- **AI assistance** — OpenAI or Gemini for definitions and generated study texts.

- **Audio** — read-aloud with adjustable pauses and repeats, MP3

  export, and a floating mini-player when the window is minimized.

- **Texts reader** — import from files, the web, Wikipedia, or RSS; read with a

  side-by-side translation and word highlighting synced to playback

  ([screenshot](screenshots/texts.png)).

- **Statistics** — a dashboard with status distribution, streaks, definition

  coverage, and progress over time ([screenshot](screenshots/statistics.png)).

- **Import & export** — Excel import with duplicate detection; export to PDF, Excel,

  CSV, **Anki**-friendly TXT and MP3.

- **Sync & backups** — two-way cloud sync, a bin to restore deleted items, and

  automatic daily backups with retention.

API keys and preferences are all managed inside the app under **Settings**.

## Keyboard shortcut

A global hotkey (**Ctrl+Shift+V** by default, configurable in **Settings**) adds a

word straight from the clipboard and translates it.

## Support

Lingueez is free and open-source, with no paywalls. If you enjoy Lingueez and

find it useful, a one-off contribution helps cover the servers behind optional

cloud sync and supports continued development:

- **[Support Lingueez's development](https://buy.stripe.com/14A8wRd41a8f1aI6rw43S02)** — one-time, no subscription (card / Apple Pay / Google Pay).

- **[GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/lysak-yurii)** — for developers; recurring or one-off.
