Seeking apps for advanced English?
We have a solution for you.

Language learning is hard. But only if you do not have the right tools that support you.

Lots of solutions exhaust you, and all you get in return is a mid-level result.

It does not have to be like this!

We developed Wordprism to help people who need the C1 level as soon as possible.

It's designed for expats to turn the language around them into the language they speak.

Context matters Context matters

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 provide 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, moving from real words to your tools instead of the other way around.

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 tried making flashcards, but found out this is an exhausting process.

When doing flashcards, you remember how flashcards look, not what they mean.

You know the words, but can't build sentences using these words.

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.

Taking notes on definitions, context, translations, and sources feels like a lot of work. This can hold you back from truly learning the language.

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 using 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.

London

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 explains by photo, sharing screen, text or anything. 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. Every word broken down, every nuance surfaced. Not a rough translation. A real explanation that makes you think in English.

Focus on the present moment

Wordprism cuts down distractions from looking up words while you read, watch, or focus on what matters to you 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.

Context matters Context matters

Not Wordprism. Wordprism is refreshingly straightforward.

Capture anything

Wordprism has three options to capture language bits: text, photo, or an image from your library. Audio capturing is coming soon!

The visual tools we developed help you clearly focus on things that you don't know yet.

Capture — any format Capture — any format

You can share any content to the app.

Fast and frictionless definitions for what you're focused on.

Deep, concise, and context-aware definitions

There are 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.

Definitions — three levels Definitions — three levels

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

Wordprism is an effective storage for your language bits. The app Library is not a static thing. It uses definitions of what you're learning to make clear, focused examples.

That gives you comprehensive, grammatically correct knowledge, narrowed to the exact definition.

This is what gets you closer to the C1 level, knowing and memorising very narrow meanings of words.

Effective science-proven memorisation

Scientifically proven spaced repetition algorithm gives you the best memorisation speed. The huge upside of spaced repetition is that each word reappears right before you'd forget it. Minimum effort, maximum retention.

So, you don't waste time repeating things you already know well.

Deep personalisation

Wordprism knows what you don't know and uses these words and phrases to challenge you.

Deep personalisation — adaptive Deep personalisation — adaptive

Wordprism uses your self-assessed language level to customise all content just for you. You get it easier and more effectively. The more you learn, the more advanced content you'll see. It's an ultra-personalised experience. No drowning in academic language and no insulting simplifications. Just the right level of challenge.

Writing — connect words Writing — connect words

Wordprism provides context for anything. Different examples and types of sentences for your words to give you more sense of how to use them.

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. This way, you'll know when and how to use it yourself.
