Drop in a video, a podcast, or an article. Piccard turns it into cards you’ll actually remember — so you learn the language, not the data entry.

Get started

Free. No credit card needed.

How it works

Drop it in. Get cards. Remember them.

1

Drop it in

A clip from a drama. A podcast. A page. Anything you’re already watching or reading.

2

Cards appear

Piccard transcribes it, finds the words worth learning, and builds complete cards — translation, pronunciation, example.

3

It sticks

Each card returns right before you’d forget it. The science of Anki, without the manual labor.

Your world is the textbook

Other apps give you someone else’s word list. Piccard learns from the life you’re actually living.

Every card remembers where it came from

Replay the exact film frame, podcast second, or book line a word was born in. Context is what makes a word stick — so the source is never thrown away.

From anything you watch or read

A drama clip. A podcast. A page. A street sign. Whatever you’re already consuming.

Reviews timed to your memory

Each card comes back right before you’d forget it — so you remember more with less effort.

Every card is complete

Translation. Pronunciation. Phonetics. Example sentence. One photo, one card — everything you need to actually use the word.

Choose your language

中文 · Español · Français · Deutsch · 日本語 · 한국어

Syncs across devices

Snap on your phone during lunch. Review on your laptop at home.

Ways to use Piccard

Everything you watch, hear, or read becomes a lesson.

Watching a drama

That show you’re binging? Drop in a clip and every line becomes a card. Learn the language as you watch.

Listening to a podcast

Add the audio. Piccard transcribes it and mines the vocabulary you’d actually use.

Reading a book or article

Paste a chapter or photograph a page. Unfamiliar words become cards on autopilot.

Traveling

Signs and menus still work too — photograph them and the cards build themselves.

Good questions

No! Piccard works entirely in your browser on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. You can install it as a PWA for quick access, but no app store required.

Anything with text — street signs, restaurant menus, textbook pages, product labels, newspaper headlines. If you can photograph it, Piccard can learn from it.

Spaced repetition brings cards back right before you’d forget them. The same science behind Anki, but your cards build themselves from photos.

Yes! Your cards and review progress sync automatically across all your devices via your account. Start on your phone, continue on your laptop.

English paired with Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Korean. Switch between them anytime.

Yes! Every new account gets 150 free energy — enough for a few videos, PDFs, or hundreds of cards. Top up with energy packs ($5/$10/$20) only when you want more. Energy never expires.
