A vocabulary you actually met

Learn words from real life.

You notice a word — in a book, in a podcast, on a sign in the street. Capture it in a second. Corpus fills in what it means and brings it back until it's yours.

Corpus is in private development. There's no App Store or Play Store listing yet — early access begins on Android.

lucentsaved
lucentadjective
/ˈluːs(ə)nt/

Softly bright; glowing with, or reflecting, light.

Heard in a podcast, 12 August
Near: luminous, radiant, translucent

How it works

One word, three moments.

Capture

Type it and move on.

One word is the whole requirement. Context, source and category are optional, and capture never waits for the network — or for anything to be looked up.

lucent

Saved. Nothing else needed.

Enrich

The entry fills itself in.

Definition, pronunciation, examples, and the kind of detail you'd otherwise go looking for. It happens in the background, after you've already moved on.

Practice

Five words, most days.

Drawn from your own lexicon. Short enough to do standing up, and often enough that a word moves from recognised to used.

Your living lexicon

Your vocabulary isn't a list.

It's a record of what you noticed, where you found it, and what you eventually made your own. Move through it — every word keeps the moments it came from.

Structure creates freedom.

Vocabulary starts with attention, not with a deck somebody else built.

The words worth learning are the ones you already met.

Structure should remove friction, not add ceremony.
