How it works
Highlight. Hear it. Say it back.
A two-minute setup, then a four-step loop you can run on any page you were going to read anyway.
First, a two-minute setup
Three things, once
After this, a sentence is the only thing you ever have to give Ookie.
- 01
Pick your languages
What you speak, and what you want to practice. Ten languages are supported, and you can add more later without recording again.
- 02
Read two sentences out loud
In your own language, at a normal pace. That one recording becomes the voice you hear in every language you practice.
- 03
Sign in and start
The trial starts straight away, with no credit card.
Step 1
Pick a sentence, three ways
Start anywhere. Ookie says it in the language you are learning.
In the language you are learning
Highlight a sentence on any page and tap Hear.
In your own language
Highlight it and Ookie turns it into the language you are learning, ready to practice.
Type it in
Click Ookie in your toolbar and type any word or sentence.
Example: a Spanish speaker learning English.
Make it a habit
The parts that keep you coming back
Ookie is built to be repeated daily, not admired once.
Today's practice
Five sentences picked for you each day, so there is always a way in.
Journal
Your streak, the sounds that keep slipping, and the place you improved most.
Streak
Three scored sentences on any day keeps it going. Retrying the same sentence counts once.
Steps 2 to 4
The loop that does the work
Hear it, say it, see one thing to fix. The pictures below are the real card you get in the extension.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Step 2 · One yellow button, and the words light up as your voice reads them. Say it back, then tap Done, then Get feedback.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Step 4 · One score, one tip, and the words that need work underlined.
The quiet loop the prototypes use — words lighting up and the ring filling — is not built yet. These cards are static on purpose, so nothing moves for a visitor who prefers reduced motion.
Works almost anywhere
Where it fits
Ookie only ever sees the sentence you hand it, whatever page you are on.
Paragraphs
Highlight up to about ten sentences and Ookie scores them in one take, then lets you replay each one on its own.
Pages with no launcher
Open Ookie from the toolbar and type a sentence instead. Copying one and pasting it into the same box works too.
Ten languages
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese.
Try it on the next sentence you read
Open a page you were going to read anyway, and highlight one sentence.
