The mic only listens while you’re actively in a reading session and you’ve pressed the mic button. Audio is streamed to the speech-to-text provider and discarded after the word is recognized. We keep the words you save, not your raw audio. Read the privacy page for the long version.
Regular price will be €14,99/month later. Launch price while I'm validating demand.
Hi, I’m Dario. I want to get to the next level of my German understanding. To do that I want to read books that are a bit over my current level. I don’t want it to be frustrating, I want it to be a pleasant experience. So I built WordZam to help me translate words I don’t know, save them, and not have to drop the book and type into a translator every two minutes. It’s working for me. Sharing it in case it helps you too.
DarioYes, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Croatian, and Serbian are all supported. German is what I’m focused on right now, so it’s the most polished.
No. The mic only opens when you start a reading session and press the mic button. You can stop it any time. Audio is streamed to the speech-to-text service and discarded after recognition.
No, but they help if you’re in a quiet space and don’t want the translation to be heard.
Yes, CSV export is in, and .apkg is coming next based on what users ask for. You get the word, the lemma, the sentence it appeared in, the translation, and the noun details (gender + plural for German).
Not yet. The web version works on phones in the browser. A native app comes once enough people are reading with it weekly that it makes sense to build.
Yes. One click in your account → Stripe Customer Portal → cancel. No tricks, no “winback” emails.
Your email, the words you save (text only, not your voice), and your subscription state. You can delete the whole account from your account page in one click; everything gets removed.
€7,99 is the launch price while I'm still building. Regular price will be €14,99/month once the product is more complete. If you sign up now at €7,99, you don't lock in that price forever, I'll tell you well in advance if I raise it.
