Private beta · Summer 2026
Vocabulary,
on autopilot.
Highlight unfamiliar words in the books, papers and articles you already read. Jacques creates the cards, schedules the reviews and brings each word back when memory needs it.
No spam. One email when your invite is ready.
01 — How it works
02 — The problem
You already meet new words every day.
The friction starts afterwards.
↓
Collecting
Words scatter across books, PDFs, and browser tabs — and quietly disappear.
↓
Making cards
Writing definitions, hunting for examples, formatting flashcards by hand.
↓
Organizing decks
Folders, tags, deck hierarchies. Managing the system becomes the hobby.
↓
Remembering to review
Discipline fades. Streaks break. The backlog wins.
The problem is not finding new words. It is getting them from the page into long-term memory.
03 — The philosophy
You choose what is worth learning.
Jacques handles everything after that.
No decks. No folders. No manual scheduling. No review planning. Keep reading; the system handles the learning workflow.
04 — Flashcards
Cards you’d never have the patience to write.
Every highlight becomes a complete card: pronunciation, a precise definition, translation, synonyms and the sentence where you found it. Generated in seconds. Scheduled automatically.
- IPA pronunciation, British and American
- Definitions written for advanced learners
- Your original sentence as the example
- Synonyms and register notes
05 — Review feed
No study sessions. Just a feed.
Open Jacques and work through a finite review queue selected by spaced repetition. No deck management, no manual scheduling and no backlog planning.
The ease of a feed. The precision of spaced repetition.
06 — Who it is for
Built for advanced learners.
Built for people who already read in English — and want the remaining language barrier to disappear. Jacques is designed for B2+ readers working toward effortless literacy across books, research, business and technology.
Books
Fiction and non-fiction, on Kindle or paper.
Research
Papers, preprints, and technical documentation.
