Vocapi for builders

Your learning data, ready for your own tools.

Vocapi includes two read-only developer surfaces: a personal API for apps and dashboards, and an MCP connector that gives AI tutors your real learning context.

Built today

The API and MCP connector run against development infrastructure now. Public hosting arrives with launch.

See how Vocapi works

After you complete a lesson, its grammar and vocabulary enter the review system. Vocapi schedules the cards and also lets you choose additional practice when you want it.

01Learn in context

Lessons explain how the language works before asking you to use it.

Review that asks more of you over time

Vocapi uses FSRS to decide when each grammar pattern or word returns. As your memory becomes more stable, review can move from recognition to recall and writing.

  1. New

    Recognize

    Choose a meaning or listen and choose.

  2. Growing

    Build

    Translate, fill a gap, or assemble a word from its parts.

  3. Stable

    Recall

    Type what you hear, compare similar forms, or answer without English support.

  4. Mature

    Write

    Use the grammar or vocabulary in a sentence and receive feedback.

Tap a word and add it to review

Tap a word in a lesson or reading to see its pronunciation, definitions, examples, and word structure. Choose Learn this word to add it to your review queue.

Finish a chapter by writing

Chapter prompts ask you to write several sentences. Feedback shows corrections and explains them; verified gaps can bring a related review card forward.

Mission-supported access

How mission-supported courses will work

Vocapi will provide the learning software and course structure. Speakers, teachers, and community partners will decide how their language and knowledge are represented.

No course paywall

Mission-supported courses have no course paywall or trial expiry.

Community review is part of the agreement

Formal community work requires consent, review rights, attribution, and a way out.

Every source must be traceable

Language materials need a known origin, a usable rights basis, and a correction path.

Read the stewardship standard

Community partners guide how language and culture are represented.

Built by a small independent team

We build the app and its first courses with input from teachers, researchers, documentarians, and people who organize around languages.
