How it works
Readlang uses a spaced repetition algorithm (inspired by the SuperMemo 2 one) to ensure you remember words long term. It tests you more frequently if you are having difficulty remembering a word, and less frequently if you remember it successfully. Furthermore, it prioritizes the more frequently used words in each language.
See your progress
Under the “Words” tab, you can keep track of your progress, and edit or export the words you have translated.
