Frequently asked questions
Everything about Vokari, the flashcard app for learning vocabulary in any language pair.
Which languages does Vokari support?
Any language pair you like — Spanish→English, French→German, Japanese→Italian and many more. You pick both languages freely from a curated list, and the read-aloud voice automatically matches the language of each word.
What makes Vokari a good app to learn vocabulary in any language?
Most vocabulary apps lock you into fixed courses. Vokari lets you build flashcard decks for any language pair with your own words, reviews them with spaced repetition, reads every word aloud in the right voice, and can even create flashcards from a photo of a word list — all in one small, private app.
How does spaced repetition work in Vokari?
Tap “Got it” and a word appears less often; tap “Forgot” and it comes back more often. Vokari picks the next card with a weighted draw, so you spend your time on the words you actually struggle with instead of repeating what you already know. Read more in our guide on how to memorize vocabulary with spaced repetition.
Can I import vocabulary from a photo of my textbook?
Yes. Snap a photo of a word list from your textbook or notes. Text recognition runs entirely on your device, then AI structures the recognized text into clean word pairs — no retyping and no setup required. You review the result before it is added to your deck. See how to turn vocabulary photos into flashcards.
Does Vokari work offline?
Everyday learning works offline: your decks are stored locally on your device, and reviewing, flipping direction and read-aloud need no connection. Only the AI step of the photo import requires an internet connection.
Do I need an account?
No. Vokari has no account, no sign-up and no third-party server for your data. All vocabulary is stored locally on your device.
How much does Vokari cost?
Vokari is a one-time purchase of US $0.99 on the App Store. There is no subscription, no in-app purchases and no ads.
Does Vokari run on iPad?
Yes. Vokari runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18.1 or later.
Can I flip the learning direction?
Yes. One tap reverses the direction of a deck, so you can practice Spanish→English one day and English→Spanish the next. The read-aloud voice switches to match automatically.
Where is my vocabulary data stored?
Everything you learn stays on your device: decks are plain files in the app's local storage. There is no account, no cloud sync and no third-party server holding your vocabulary.
How many new words should I add per day?
For most learners, five to ten new words a day is the sweet spot: small enough to review honestly, large enough to compound into thousands of words per year. Our guide on how many words a day you should learn helps you find your own number.
Is Vokari a good alternative to Anki?
If you want a simple vocabulary flashcard app — spaced repetition, audio, photo import, no configuration — yes. If you need cloze cards, images, add-ons or cross-platform sync, Anki remains the better fit. We compare the two honestly in our guide to simple Anki alternatives on iPhone.
