How it works

Photo to vocabulary in five taps

The whole loop takes about a minute. Everything after the photo happens inside the app, in the language you are learning.

Taking a photo of a text
01 Step 1 of 5

Point your camera at anything

Open LiT, frame what's in front of you, and take the shot. A textbook exercise, a museum label, a jar of something you can't identify. If it has a name, LiT can teach it to you.

  • Textbooks, worksheets and handouts
  • Signs, menus and packaging
  • Books, novels and magazines
Word translation with audio and grammar
02 Step 2 of 5

Tap a word, get the whole picture

Every word in your photo is live. Tap one and the translation appears with native audio and the grammar behind that exact form. No typing it out, no switching to a dictionary and losing your place.

Definitions and grammar detail
03 Step 3 of 5

Understand it, don't just translate it

When a word is worth more than its translation, open it up. Definitions, real example sentences and a full grammar breakdown explain why the sentence works, so the next one you meet makes sense on its own.

Sending words to the vocabulary trainer
04 Step 4 of 5

Keep the words worth keeping

One tap sends a word or object to your vocabulary trainer. It remembers what you got right, notices what keeps slipping, and builds the next session around the gaps instead of the easy wins.

Vocabulary review screen
05 Step 5 of 5

Review until it sticks

Sessions are short enough to finish while the kettle boils, and spaced so a word comes back just before you'd have lost it. The photo fades from your camera roll; the vocabulary doesn't.

Who it's for

Built for the words in front of you

Students

Shoot the exercise, not the whole chapter. Turn tomorrow's worksheet into tonight's revision deck.

Travellers

Menus, signs and ticket machines decoded on the spot, and remembered by the time you fly home.

Readers

Read the novel in the original. Tap the words you don't know and keep going without losing the page.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which languages can I learn?

80, including every major European language plus Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian.

Is it free?

LiT is free to download, and you can photograph, translate and train vocabulary without paying anything.

Does it work on handwriting?

Printed text reads best. Clear handwriting usually works; messy notes are hit and miss, so tap-to-correct is always there.

Do I need a photo every time?

No. The camera is how words get in. After that, the vocabulary trainer works on its own, wherever you are.

What about my photos and data?
