Zingle

Key Features

• •Read Box: The Read Box keeps the story central while providing instant vocabulary support. Tap any word or select a phrase to get an AI-generated explanation that uses the surrounding sentence and matches your CEFR level, so you never lose focus.
• •My Library: Upload or paste your own texts, files, URLs, or audio to create private learning content. Zingle prepares the material with language detection and level assessment, then applies the same vocabulary tools as its stories.
• •Connected Learning Loop: After reading, move through Write Box, Word Box, and Word Review boxes to practice writing, study words, and reinforce memory with spaced repetition. All boxes share data from the initial reading.
• •CEFR-Level Explanations: Every word explanation is tailored to your chosen CEFR level (e.g., B1). A learner at intermediate level receives a simplified definition with context-appropriate examples, avoiding overwhelming dictionary entries.
• •Multi-Language Support: Zingle currently supports English, Dutch, and Spanish with consistent learning behavior across all languages. The same Read Box rules, progress tracking, and review system apply.
• •Free & Pro Plans: The Free plan includes stories, browser text-to-speech, 40 AI explanations per cycle, and 3 My Library items per month. Pro adds human-like AI voice, audio upload with transcription, and higher AI usage.
• •Private by Default: My Library content is user-owned and private. Zingle extracts readable learning content without turning it into a public feed, ensuring privacy.

Use Cases

• •A B1 English learner reading the story 'The Path of Growth' taps the word 'purpose' for an AI explanation. The explanation uses the surrounding sentence to clarify meaning, and later the word appears in their Word Review for spaced practice.
• •A student preparing for a Dutch exam uploads a class article to My Library. Zingle detects Dutch and B1 level, allowing the student to tap unfamiliar words and build a study list directly from their course material.
• •A Spanish learner uses the Write Box after reading a story about gardening. They practice writing sentences with new words like 'unusually' and receive feedback through the connected loop.
• •A professional learning industry-specific English uploads a PDF report to My Library. The system prepares the content, and the user taps technical terms for level-appropriate explanations.
• •A Pro user uploads an audio recording of a natural Dutch conversation. The audio is transcribed into text, which becomes readable content with the same vocabulary tools, enabling learning from spoken language.
• •A user with limited time reads Zingle stories daily during commute. The free plan provides 40 AI explanations per cycle, enough for consistent vocabulary building without interruption.
