The flashcard problem

Word lists are easy to collect and hard to remember.

Generic flashcards can become disconnected from real reading. Learners often add too many words manually, then face a deck that no longer remembers the book, movie, chapter, or sentence where the word first mattered.

TeakReader makes the source material the starting point. The words are not isolated list items; they come from the English you chose to read or study.

Context to flashcards

Study words from the books and subtitles you chose.

A chapter can become a study list. A movie can become a vocabulary review. A word you learn from either source updates the same vocabulary memory.

TeakReader can surface unknown and useful words from processed books, chapters, movies, TV seasons, and episodes, so flashcards come from actual source vocabulary.

How review starts

Review grows out of real reading and subtitle study.

TeakReader connects vocabulary discovery to vocabulary review, so study begins with words that actually appeared in your library.

1

Process real material

Use an EPUB book, Gutenberg classic, movie, TV season, episode, or chapter as the source.

2

Find useful unknown words

TeakReader surfaces vocabulary from the material instead of starting with a blank deck.

3

Review with context

Study words that appeared in the books, movies, and episodes you chose.

4

Update your memory

Known, Learning, and Ignored decisions improve future reading and subtitle stats.

Single review

Review one word at a time when you want focus.

Single-card mode gives one word the full screen. See its CEFR badge, review its meaning, listen to pronunciation when available, then choose Skip, Learn, or I Know.

It is built for moments when you want to slow down and make a clear vocabulary decision.

Batch review

Move faster with batch review when words are already familiar.

Batch mode shows multiple words at once, with CEFR badges to help scan difficulty. When a group is already familiar, you can move through it quickly so the unknown list gets sharper.

That makes cleanup easier after processing a familiar book, chapter, movie, or episode.

Vocabulary memory

Every review updates your shared vocabulary memory.

Known, Learning, Ignored, and Unknown states are shared across books, EPUBs, Project Gutenberg classics, movies, and TV subtitles. Reviewing one source can improve future recommendations and comprehension estimates in another.

Smarter study lists

Review the words most worth learning next.

Instead of manually deciding from a blank flashcard deck, use frequency-ranked unknown words, CEFR distribution, known versus unknown stats, and study buttons from processed material.
