Vocably has a sloppy Product Hunt launch today. I forgot about it, and it went unprepared.
If you have a moment, can you please support it in this strange battle?

Some words are just hard to remember—they refuse to stick.
Vocably helps by generating mnemonics for tricky words.
I seldom write here.
I just logged in to say how much I love my users.
People who are serious about learning a language are often:
- Open-minded
- Motivated
- Successful
It's not an accident. Language learning amazingly develops the brain and psyche.
Every day it gets a little easier… But you gotta do it every day — that's the hard part.

Mastering a new language is an incredible, life-changing accomplishment. Big achievements like this don’t happen overnight.
Vocably is a powerful combination of a high-quality dictionary and flashcards. Available as Chrome/Safari extension, and Mobile App.
• Highlight any word to see it's translation, definitions, part of speech, IPA, pronunciation
• Save any translation as top-quality flashcards
• Study your flashcards with quizzes and questions on you mobile
• Don't know how to say something in your target language? Translate it from the language you know
Every day, 10 new users try out the smart language-learning assistant, Vocably.
6 of them decide to keep using it because it works.
The other 4 don’t get it right away, and that’s the biggest challenge for the project right now.
Because once you understand how it works, you become a Vocably user.
Today, I added AI capabilities to the "reverse" search feature.
Need to say something in your target language but don’t know the right word? Just search in your native language, and Vocably will create a high-quality flashcard for you.

I haven’t posted about Vocably in a while.
My two-year contract with Air France/KLM ended few weeks ago, so now I have more time to work on Vocably.
In the past month, I’ve made significant improvements to the extension and the app:
- The browser extension now supports tags for grouping words (for example, to prepare for a lesson).
- GPT-4o_mini now performs context-aware translations, resulting in top-notch translations that keep improving.
- The mobile app now occasionally asks multiple-choice questions. These are high-quality questions because Vocably knows the parts of speech of words. Multiple-choice questions can be disabled in settings, but I highly recommend trying them.
Vocably is now a solid tool for preparing for practical lessons.
Card grouping is available in Vocably mobile app now 🎉
The ability to group cards in folders is one of the most popular requests from Vocably users.
Card grouping is now possible with tags 🏷️. Tags are better than folders because you can have multiple tags for a single card.
Today, I started rolling out word usage examples. It has been deployed in the Chrome extension. The other platforms are coming.
Guys, I’ve just improved Vocably.
It now supports context-dependent translations. Thanks to ChatGPT.
For example, the word “bank” in English can refer to a financial organization or a side of a river.
Vocably will see and handle the difference.
I released a new feature for Android this week. It lets you translate new words and create cards from any app.
I changed the name of this account because it's hard to pretend that Vocably is a big company with a corporate Twitter account.
Vocably is one person - Dimah Sneas.
Who studies 🇳🇱, writes code, teaches English to Ukrainian refugees, and hopes to become rich and famous someday.
You can translate words and create excellent flashcards while browsing on your iPhone or iPad.
Thanks to Vocably for Safari.
Language learning is primarily about memorizing words and phrases.
As a product, Vocably's ambition is to be exceptionally good at:
1. Translating new words while using new language
2. Learning those words when you have time
