The goal of our capsule is to help users learn foreign languages. We started with English, because it's estimated that over 1 billion people are currently learning English worldwide. It's a huge market.
The main challenge for us was to find a proper API. We wanted our dictionary to contain not only the translation of a particular word, but also a picture of this word and some examples of its usage. We used SkyEng API. for our capsule.
Our capsule has 2 basic features:
- searching for a word
- learning new words
Searching for an unknown word in a dictionary
To test this feature type: "Translate dog" (or any other word you want to translate)
Helping the user to study the words he searched for and also some other new words
Every time the user is searching for a new word this word is added to the database, so that the user can learn these words later
We also added a few extra sets of words for the user to study
To test this feature type: "I want to study new words"
