Vocably (a language-learning tool) - AI-powered cross-platform dictionary and learning system.

In the past 3 years (after the first launch), Vocably became smarter (thanks to AI), released as iOS and Android apps (and 90+ new versions on those apps), became available not only as Chrome, but also Safari, and iOS Safari extension (Firefox is coming), and became a more engaging learning tool with various quizzes and questions.

My first launch on Product Hunt was 3 years ago. It brought me my first 550 users.

I lost every one of them in 24 hours. I didn’t know why, cause I didn’t have analytics or a feedback system 😭

The only thing I knew for sure was that 550 people were motivated enough to register.

It’s been 3 years, and I am still improving this language-learning tool.

The interface got slicker. The learning process got better. The tool got smarter. And I don’t feel lonely anymore because there are hundreds of people who rely on Vocably every day. I am in contact with many of them, and I only see the sharpest, most articulate, and most friendly users a founder can dream about ❤️

This looks awesome - does Vocably adapt to different learning goals like travel, work vocab, or exams?

@liat_niederman thanks, Liat!

I made Vocably to be a tool that supports people who achieved A2+ level and who feel ready to start using a new language. Basically, if you have a reason to look up or translate new words and then learn them, then you probably have a good reason to use Vocably. I am currently working on a feature that allows you to ask the tool to generate a collection of words related to a specific topic (for example, travel, animals, or popular idioms). I think this will better suit the use case that you described. It's coming.

Indeed a useful feature. I think it should be helpful when preparing for interviews for any position.

Very cool use of a Chrome extension!!!

It translates words you don't know + with one click you can save them to get a reminder later to actually learn that word. Going to use it from now on ❤️

I now have 87 days streak in Vocably (could have been more but I missed one day during vacation 🥲)

As a Mac user, seeing a proper Safari extension is a huge plus. Most language tools treat Safari as an afterthought. Also, syncing from desktop reading to mobile review covers my whole workflow. Nice work sticking with it for 3 years!
