Questions before installing?

Is Termy a screen translator?

Not quite. Screen translators don't give you a chance to think, understand, and actually learn the language — they just let you skip past the gaps in your knowledge. Termy, on the other hand, only steps in exactly where it's needed — at the hardest moments — so you keep thinking in the language you're learning and keep building your vocabulary. Words and phrases you've looked up in Termy can, and should, be revisited: recall the context they came from, learn other meanings and forms, listen to the pronunciation. Then reinforce them through practice using the FSRS method.

How does Termy training work?

Termy trains from the words and phrases you saved in real content. It keeps the original sentence, screenshot context, explanation, and translation connected, then uses adaptive timing plus varied exercises such as context questions, cloze prompts, typing, listening, and screenshot recall.

Does it work with games?

Yes. Termy is designed for desktop text on screen, including game dialogue and UI text. It works best for players who prefer the original language, deal with weak localization, or use games as native input.

Does Termy store my screenshots?

Termy does not store screenshots on our servers. When you save vocabulary, the useful screenshot context stays locally on your computer so you can revisit the scene, rebuild the association, and review it later.

What is the best way to use Termy?

Use it when you almost understand the content, but a few words or phrases block you. Get the missing meaning, continue the activity, and practice saved vocabulary later.
