How does Yola Lexis work?

You build your own stock of vocabulary #1. Use our dictionary cum translation tool to understand text and quickly save words you need in organized word sets.

The monolingual dictionaries have more than 300,000 meaning entries, many of which have additional equivalent meanings in your first language.

Camera translation helps you translate images of text on the fly. You just simply take pictures of text or import its photos then get the result.

The web extension is built for desktop users, supporting text in websites, subtitles and PDF files. It complements the mobile app, making looking up words, translating text and saving words a cross-platform feature.

The app offers features beyond just literal translation, showing recommended words, phrases and idioms from the translated text for users to look up and save. This reflects the app’s ultimate goal of helping learners build up their vocabulary.

You build your own stock of vocabulary #2. Learn words curated just for you and save them in your word sets.

Watch a 15-second video and learn a target word. A follow-up mini social activity helps learners associate the new words with their prior knowledge and experience. Learning always happens within highly visual, meaningful and personal contexts under a myriad of topics, which allows deeper encoding of new vocabulary.

The app’s recommendation algorithm creates a personalized channel that consists of vocabulary tailored to every user’s level and content they are most likely to engage with.

Ready-made vocabulary packs for English Grade 6-12, academic English for IELTS and English for occupational purposes (EOP).

You review your vocabulary, continually converting passive words into active ones

Vocabulary entries are all saved in flashcards organized in your personal study sets. Varied quizzes are auto-generated from your vocabulary stock.


Practice is increasingly challenging, sequenced from controlled to more communicative tasks to ensure learners master form, meaning and use of a word. The utmost goal is to expand active vocabulary which learners can spontaneously recall and use in their speech and writing.



The quizzes incorporate the spaced repetition technique that determines the optimal time to get you to practice with certain words again. This method is well-proven to foster long-term vocabulary retention.

You keep the learning momentum with the app’s highly engaging content and features

A TikTok-like experience ‘lures’ you into browsing super-short vocabulary videos stacked up in an infinite scroll. You might be hooked before you realize it.
