Seeking apps for polishing English?
We have a solution for you.
Many apps drain your energy or give the illusion of learning. In reality, you end up with only average results.
It does not have to be like this!
We developed Wordprism to help people who need to reach C1 level as soon as possible.
It's designed for expats to turn the language around them into the language they speak.
An app unlike any other
Miss the context. Miss the point.
Wordprism is a unique application. It works in reverse. It doesn't give you artificial language to learn. It asks you to gather the language instead.
And this is why.
Most learners fear using the knowledge that language learning apps provide. Because it's irrelevant, unnatural, and probably never heard in the wild.
Wordprism captures words and phrases from your context. It reverses the flow of knowledge.
You'll gain confidence this way, and all you need is just to remember that knowledge. And Wordprism helps with that too.
Any of these sound familiar?
You look up words from a text and forget them in the morning.
You have dozens of screenshots with words from books, but you never look at them again.
You are not confident in using phrasal verbs and idioms.
When doing flashcards, you remember how flashcards look, not what they mean.
You know the words, but connecting them in a sentence is tough for you.
You could know every single word in a sentence, and yet not get the full meaning.
You're not satisfied with translations; you need definitions.
Making flashcards with definitions, context, translations, and sources feels like a lot of work.
You often feel frustrated searching for the right meaning of a word among many others in the dictionary.
If you're stuck at the Intermediate level and wrestling with different apps, tools, courses, and vocabulary builders…
We promise, Wordprism solves all that.
So, how does it work?
The best thing about Wordprism is that it turns everyday language into lasting knowledge in just 7 seconds.
See a sign, a menu, a message? Snap a photo. Wordprism reads it instantly.

Born in the place
where real English lives
Wordprism was proudly crafted in London.
The city where millions navigate a second language every day. The streets, signs, and chats that sparked this app are just outside our window. We built it here because this is where the idea was born. Real English, learned from real life.
Here's what you get
Seamless integration with your life
See it. Take it. Sorted. Wordprism provides explanations for photos, screenshots, text, or content shared from other apps. Never lose a screenshot in your photo library again.
This could save your life, too!
Deeper understanding
Wordprism can explain every single word in the sentence. This is better than translation. It gives you understanding, not a translation, simplification or a lie.
Paste a sentence you half-understood and watch it unfold.
Focus on the present moment
Wordprism cuts the distractions of looking up words. So you can read, watch, or focus on what’s important to you right now.
And yet, it remembers what you're looking for and focuses on that to make it stick.
How do we do that?
Most language learning apps have issues. They can be too gamified. They mostly target beginners, provide low-quality content and pronunciation, or aren't reliable.
Not Wordprism. Wordprism is refreshingly straightforward.
Capture anything
Wordprism has three options to capture language bits: text, photo, or an image from your library. Built-in audio capturing is coming soon!
The visual tools we developed help you clearly focus on things that you don't know yet.
Share any text, images, photos, or screenshots to the app.
Get definitions for what you're focused on.
Deep, concise, and context-aware definitions
Wordprism has three levels of meaning:
- the word itself in the used part of speech, without any connections to other words in the sentence
- the meaning of the word or an idiom, regardless of the sentence context
- context-aware explanation of the part of the sentence
So you can get a full picture of how the word works in the sentence.
Infinite explorations by drilling sentences recursively
Dive as deep as you want into the language. There are no limits at all!
Tap any word in an explanation to open a new one. Then tap again. Each layer reveals more English. Go one level deep or twenty. It's fun!
Organised language storage
The Wordprism library is not a static thing. It uses definitions of what you're learning to focus on clear, niche examples.
This is what gets you closer to the C1 level, knowing and memorising very specific meanings of words.
Effective science-proven memorisation
The scientifically proven spaced repetition algorithm gives you the best memorisation speed.
Each word reappears right before you'd forget it. Minimum effort, maximum retention.
Deep personalisation
Wordprism knows what you don't know and uses these words and phrases to challenge you.
Wordprism uses your self-assessed language level to customise all content just for you.
You get it more easily and more effectively. The more you learn, the more advanced content you'll see.
Just the right level of challenge.
Humanlike pronunciation
Wordprism uses real voices provided by Oxford Languages. No AI involved, it's real.
For the rest of the content, Wordprism uses dynamic pronunciation. Tap to pronounce as many times as you want. You’ll hear different ways to say the same phrase.
Definitions you can trust
Every meaning is precise, authoritative, and matched to the context you found the word in.
Writing inspiration
Wordprism can connect any words together. This helps you build phrases with the right prepositions and use words as rare parts of speech.
"Interested in" or "interested on"? Stop guessing prepositions. See how words pair up naturally.
Wordprism provides context for anything.
Knowing a definition isn't enough. You need to feel how a word lives in a sentence. You can see it in formal writing, casual speech, and more.
Learn everywhere
Full offline mode available. Review on the tube, on a flight, in the park. No Wi-Fi needed, no excuses.
