Lexpad
Adding words
Lexpad is built around the words you meet yourself, so getting them in has to be quick wherever you meet them. Nothing is ever added for you without your choice.
Checked against the app on 3 October 2026.
Tap the round + beside the tab bar on any screen. Write the word and its meaning, each in its own language’s direction and font. “More details” opens everything a card can hold: several meanings with short definitions and up to five examples each, topic, CEFR level (A1 to C2), pronunciation, part of speech, a hard-to-spell mark, collocations, expressions, related words, a usage note and a private memo. “Add another” keeps the sheet open for a run of words.

You see the word at the top of your notebook, marked Not started, ready for today’s session.
“Fill with AI” writes the whole card from the word alone: every common meaning, a definition in the language you are learning, example sentences with translations, pronunciation, part of speech, level, collocations, expressions and related words. If you misspelled the word, it suggests the usual form. Not quite right? Ask again with Simpler, More examples, More formal, or your own request.
To do many at once, paste a list on the AI screen, preview every card, untick any you do not want, and add the rest.

The card arrives complete, and every field stays editable on the word’s page.
Tap the microphone in the word field and say the word. Lexpad listens in the language of the notebook the word is going to and puts what it heard in the field for you to check. It never saves on its own.
Voice input launched free on 23 September 2026 and moved to Pro later the same day. It is still free in any notebook with Persian on either side.
Paste an article, a chat or a page. Lexpad lists every distinct word in reading order; words already in your notebook are counted, not offered again. Nothing is pre-selected: you tap the words that are new to you. Each one keeps the sentence you found it in as its first example.
Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese text, written without spaces, is split into words for you.

Each word arrives with its sentence from your text as its first example; add a meaning yourself or let AI fill it.
Paste something you have read and let AI mark what is worth a card. It puts fixed expressions, idioms, phrasal verbs and collocations first, then ordinary words used in an unusual sense, then rare words, and leaves out names, numbers and basic words. Each find arrives in the form you would learn it (“gave up” becomes “give up”), with a short meaning, a CEFR level and the sentence it came from.
Everything starts kept; strike out what you already know and add the rest. This is the opposite of Paste a text, where nothing starts selected.

With the browser extension, select a word on any page and add it without leaving the page. It arrives with its meaning, the sentence you read it in as its first example, and a private note saying where you saw it.
Three more ways to bring words you already have.
Import My Clippings.txt for your highlights of up to four words, or vocab.db for every word you looked up while reading. The book’s title becomes the topic. The words arrive without meanings or sentences; “Improve with AI” or “Fill with AI” completes them. Free. vocab.db is read on the server and needs a connection; clippings are read on your device.
Settings, Import words takes a Lexpad export (which also restores boxes, stars, notes and order), the older Lexpad notebook file, or a two-column CSV or TSV of word and meaning. That covers Quizlet and Anki exported as plain text; Anki’s own .apkg package is not read. Words already in the notebook are skipped and counted.
Open a notebook someone shared with you and take a copy. The words become a new notebook of your own, with no link back to theirs, and without their notes or progress. Free for your first notebook and for any Persian notebook; otherwise a second notebook is part of Pro.
Good to know
No. Every word comes from you. Words worth keeping and the AI screen suggest cards from text you paste, and you choose what to keep; Lexpad never adds starter words, word lists or words of the day.
Yes, as a two-column CSV or TSV of word and meaning, which both can export. Anki’s .apkg package is not read. Then use Improve with AI to complete the cards.
It moves to the top of the notebook and keeps any new meaning you gave it, instead of being added twice.
Yes, the ones you ask for. Connect Lexpad and say “Save meticulous to my Lexpad”; the assistant writes the card and saves it.
