Snap anything, learn the word. A camera-first vocabulary app.

Vocabloot is a camera-first vocabulary app: point your phone at any object and it gives you the word in the language you're learning, then saves it with the photo you took.
Most people quit a language app inside two weeks, and it usually isn't discipline. A word on a flashcard has nothing attached to it, so you recognise it, and by Thursday it's gone, because there is nothing to remember it by.
Vocabloot starts at the other end. You point your camera at something in front of you, whether the mug, somebody's dog or the plant on the windowsill, and it tells you what that thing is called, how to say it, and what it means. It works on images you didn't take, too: share anything in from another app and it loots the word out of it. Each word is kept with its photo and date, so your vocabulary becomes a record of what you actually looked at, and it stays yours, since nothing is stored on Vocabloot's servers and the whole wordbook exports to a file you keep.
Anyone learning a language while surrounded by it: living abroad, travelling, or just wanting the names of things at home. Because every word starts as something you photographed, Vocabloot is strongest on concrete everyday vocabulary: what's in a kitchen, on a street, in a shop. It is not a grammar course and not a way to drill abstract exam vocabulary. It is for the words you keep pointing at and not knowing.
Vocabloot is made by Nirmal Jeffrey Bernard Wilson, an independent developer in Germany working as Vaazh Studios. He shipped PoseStudio, an AI photo-posing guide, in July 2026. Vocabloot is his second app, built on Kotlin Multiplatform so iOS and Android share one codebase.

Premium covers unlimited snaps, spoken audio, tap-for-meaning, the eight games, Home and Lock Screen widgets, wordbook backup and restore, and switching your learning language with saved words retranslated.
Point at any object and get its name in the language you're learning, with a definition and an example sentence.
Share a photo or a link into Vocabloot from anywhere, whether Instagram, Photos, Safari or Messages, and it pulls the word straight out of that image. The camera is not the only way in.
Words and example sentences are spoken aloud, with the text highlighted word by word as it is read. Tap any word in a sentence to see what that one means and what part of speech it is, so an example isn't just a sentence you can't parse. Translations can be hidden while you try, then revealed.
Sky Rescue, Pop Quiz, Kraken Escape, Warp Run, Grid Hack, Flooded Hold, Intercept and The Vault. Every round is generated from words you captured and the photos you took, so practice is never a stock deck. Games unlock as your collection grows.
Any saved word turns into a sticker, cut out on its own, or captioned with the word or its pronunciation, with optional Holo and Glow finishes. Add whole sticker sets straight to WhatsApp, or copy one to paste into iMessage.
A word from your own collection sits on the Home Screen, and on iPhone the Lock Screen too. Tap it to open that word in the app.
Vocabloot stores no image on its own servers. Analysis runs through OpenAI, which may hold an image up to 30 days for abuse prevention and does not train on it. Usage analytics are opt-in and never include photos.
Every word is saved with its photo and date, and the whole collection exports to
a single .slbackup file you keep. Restoring merges rather than
overwrites, so existing words stay put, and the app reports how many were imported
and how many skipped. Switch the language you're learning and your saved words are
retranslated.
That exported file also opens at studio.vocabloot.com, a browser tool that turns six of your own words and their photos into shareable clips: 6-second showcase videos in Story, Portrait and Square, or a 24-second playable catch game with its own soundtrack. It runs entirely in the browser: the backup is never uploaded.
10: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese and Dutch. English ships in both US and UK varieties.
