About LiT: Learn Languages by Photo
Learn the languages other apps skip. LiT is a language learning app that turns any photo into a lesson: snap a page, a menu, a sign or an everyday object and learn vocabulary with translations, audio and flashcards. Learn Icelandic, Welsh, Swahili, Georgian, Polish, Greek and 80+ languages in total.
How LiT works
1. Take a photo of any text, or paste it in.
2. Read each sentence with its translation and tap any word to see its meaning in context.
3. Save new words as flashcards and review your vocabulary at the right time.
Made for smaller languages
Most language apps teach the same ten languages. With LiT you can learn Icelandic, Estonian, Maltese, Welsh, Irish, Albanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Czech, Hungarian, Khmer, Nepali, Swahili or Zulu just as easily as Spanish or French. Learn from real texts: a novel, letters from family, a local newspaper or the menu on holiday.
Hear every word
Every text is read aloud by natural-sounding voices in all 80+ languages. Pick a female or male voice, slow down the audio and follow along as each word is highlighted. A simple way to practise pronunciation and listening.
Understand, don't just translate
LiT is more than a translator. Tap a word to get its meaning in this exact sentence, with a short explanation of grammar and usage. Use the grammar deep dive when you want to know why a sentence works the way it does.
Learn vocabulary from the world around you
Point your camera at everyday objects and learn what they are called in your new language: a cup, a bicycle, an umbrella. Each word comes with an example sentence.
Flashcards and vocabulary trainer
Save words with one tap. Review them in a simple rhythm: again, tomorrow, in four days or in a month. Your vocabulary sits in stacks from "New" to "Easy", so you always see your progress.
Private by design
No account, no email, no name. Your photos are never stored on our servers and stay on your phone.
