TypeLearn

TypeLearn is a bilingual keyboard for learning from the words you actually write. Check candidate meanings while typing, request an Apple translation when you need one, and save the source text and translated expression as a flashcard to hear and review later.

Learn in everyday writing

Chats, notes and email contain expressions worth remembering. Select the text that matters, view an available translation, and choose whether to insert it, hear it or save it. Your input language and learning target are separate settings; changing your target does not replace your draft.

Chinese and English typing tools

• Bilingual candidates show local dictionary meanings for supported directions, with horizontal scrolling for longer definitions.
• Chinese and English next-word predictions suggest what to type next. Manage available models in input settings.
• English spelling correction offers suggestions while leaving the choice to you.
• Offline Chinese and English speech transcription runs in the main app after you download the corresponding speech model. Save a transcript to the keyboard and confirm before inserting it. This is not direct voice dictation inside the third-party keyboard.

Build your own vocabulary collection

A successful translation creates a preview card with the source text and target expression. Only cards you explicitly save enter My Cards. Search your collection, listen to available pronunciation and use lightweight reviews to revisit expressions from conversations, study and work. Cards and progress stay separate by language direction.

Choose English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, German, Italian, French or Chinese as a learning target. A selectable target does not mean every translation pair is supported. Apple translation availability depends on your OS, device, region and prepared language models.

Compatibility and access

• Supports iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Apple system translation requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later and a supported language pair.
• Local translation and target-language speech do not require Full Access. Sharing saved cards from the keyboard extension with the main app may require Full Access under iOS keyboard rules.
• Secure fields and apps that block third-party keyboards use the system keyboard.
• New cards come from your actual text and successful translations. Previewing a card does not save it.

Type as usual. Keep an expression when it is something you want to learn.
