noun
/ˌrækɒnˈtɜːr/
Someone with a gift for telling stories in an entertaining, captivating way.
Showing Spanish. You'll pick your language at sign-up.
You read books, watch shows on YouTube, listen to podcasts in English.
Basic vocabulary is comfortable: today, house, water,
the core words that make up everyday English. You're past the beginner phase.
You're somewhere on the long plateau where new words slip past you every day
and you have no good way to catch them. That's who this is for.
You watch something on YouTube with English subtitles. You understand most of it, and the words you don't know you can usually guess from context. Good enough, except every video has a few words you've never seen before, and they slip past you. Stopping mid-video to look one up kills the moment. Hunting for the transcript afterwards, scanning, copying. That's enough friction that nobody actually does it.
But the curiosity is real. After the credits, you wonder: was there anything in that I didn't know? Even before you decide whether you want to learn anything, you want the measure.
That curiosity is the hook, and it works because of how the brain actually holds on to words: through association. A word you met in a scene you cared about has something to attach to. A word from a generic textbook list has nothing.
Wordspotting closes the loop. Bring in what you watched, read, or listened to. We surface the words you didn't know. You learn them in the exact context where you first met them.
A YouTube link, subtitles, a book passage, a podcast transcript. Whatever you actually watched, read, or listened to.
We compare against the words you already know and surface only what's new. Each one comes with the original sentence it appeared in.
Review with the original sentences and AI explanations grounded in your actual context. No isolated flashcards.
A number that goes up.
Vocabulary size isn't really what fluency is about. Real fluency is feel, instinct, the words that arrive without thinking. None of that fits in a counter. But watching a number tick up does feel good, and feeling good about words you used to not know is most of why anyone sticks with anything. So we're going to count anyway. Your score sits in the header. It starts with the core English we already credit you with and grows every time you bring in something new and learn the words you didn't know.
Importing, discovering, and reviewing are always free and unlimited. The free plan covers about 100 new words a month, enough to fold Wordspotting into your week. Credits only come into it when AI writes a definition for a word you decide to learn.
