Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m excited to introduce Termy, a language-learning companion for macOS and Windows.
I built Termy around a simple frustration: when an unfamiliar word appears in a movie, game, website, or book, leaving the experience to search for it breaks your concentration.
With Termy, press Cmd + Shift + X on Mac or Alt + X on Windows. Termy recognizes the text already visible on your screen and lets you select a word or expression for a short, contextual explanation. Save useful vocabulary and practice it later with adaptive review.
What makes Termy different:
- Works across videos, games, ebooks, websites, and other screen content
- Explains words and complete expressions in context
- Supports 30 languages
- Performs screen-text recognition on your device
- Turns content you already enjoy into vocabulary practice
Termy turns unfamiliar language into part of the experience: understand it in context, connect it to a memorable scene, and reinforce that association through later practice, all without losing your flow.
I’d love to learn how you would use Termy:
- Which language are you learning, and what game, film, or book would you try it with first?
- When an unfamiliar word interrupts something you’re enjoying, what do you usually do - guess from context, stop to look it up, or save it somehow?
Thanks for checking out Termy! 🦥
