01

Real input becomes practice.

The tweet, the email, the menu, the meeting — the English you actually met today becomes material you can read, shadow and talk through.

02

Friendly feedback, still useful.

Speaking practice now uses star ratings. If your voice is not detected clearly, HiWord asks for a neutral retry instead of calling it bad pronunciation.

03

One set of words, all the way to conversation.

Learn, practice, read, shadow, AI Talk — today’s target words are visible, marked when used, and key recap phrases can go back into your deck.

From words to expression, at your pace

From “I know it” to “I just said it”

Pick five words today. They show up in cards, questions, an article, a shadow line and an AI conversation. Not another memorization pass — another real use.

Whatever you met today becomes a full practice path

Paste a tweet, snap a batch of menu photos, record a meeting. AI pulls the words, builds a reading, prepares shadowing, then carries the same set into AI Talk.

Stop drilling generic textbook words. Practice the expression you missed today, could not say smoothly, and may need again tomorrow.

AI Talk

AI Talk carries today’s words into a real conversation

Before the chat, HiWord picks the words you most need to say out loud. When you use one, it gets marked, and the character keeps the topic moving naturally.

The recap is more than a score: key phrases, sentence rewrites and next steps sit on one card, and useful phrases can be saved back to your deck.

Shadow Scoring

Speaking feedback moved from score pressure to “what to try next”

Speaking results use friendly star ratings while keeping useful signals for accuracy, rhythm, stress, fluency and clarity.

If HiWord cannot clearly hear your voice, it shows a neutral retry state instead of treating one bad recording as poor pronunciation.

A few things people ask about HiWord

How can I learn English with HiWord?

Is HiWord free? Does it offer a subscription?
HiWord is free to download, with free vocabulary review and basic practice. An optional, auto-renewing HiWord Pro subscription is available. See the app for current pricing and benefits.
Can I use HiWord with a small vocabulary?
Start with a suitable wordbook, such as core vocabulary, everyday expressions or KET, then add reading and speaking practice. An optional placement exercise can help you choose a starting point.
How much time should I spend each day?
Start with about 10 minutes for a small set of words, practice and reading, then add shadowing or an AI conversation if useful. Adjust the time to your materials and pace.
What if I use Android or don’t have an iPhone?
Use the web app directly and add it to your home screen in a supported Android browser. Sign in with the same account to sync supported learning data. The Chrome extension works in compatible desktop browsers.
