How Lexly works
- Snap what you see.Point your camera at anything around you, or pick a photo you already have.
- Peel it out.Lexly finds the object’s edges and lifts it off the photo, like a sticker.
- Learn its name.It lands on your shelf with its name in the language you’re learning, how to say it, and what it means in yours.
Every word keeps the photo it came from.
So la théière isn’t a word on a list. It’s the one on your kitchen table, with where you found it and how to say it.
teapotExplanations come in the language you think in.
la théièreThe word you’re learning is always in blue, so your eye knows where to land.

What does Lexly do?
Point your camera at something and tap. Lexly cuts the object out of the photo as a sticker and sticks it on your shelf with its name in the language you’re learning, plus a short explanation in the language you think in.
Which languages can I learn?
Popular choices include English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Italian. You also choose the language Lexly explains things in. You can change either one anytime in Settings.
Is it free?
Yes. Every day you can save 5 new words that Lexly names for you, and the count resets at midnight. Reviewing, your shelf and cards you write yourself are always free. Lexly Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription, removes the daily limit.
Do I need an account?
No. Lexly has no accounts, so you can start right away. Your shelf is saved on your iPhone and included in its backups.
What if it gets the word wrong?
Lexly tells you when it isn’t sure and offers other guesses to pick from. Every result has Edit, so you always have the final say before anything goes on your shelf.
What if it can’t cut the object out?
Tap Type it instead and say what the thing is, in any language. Lexly explains it, finds its name, and you can still add a photo to peel.
Can I use photos I already have?
Yes. Tap Photos on the camera screen and pick one from your library.
How does reviewing work?
When stickers are due, Home tells you how many are waiting. Lexly shows you a sticker, you say its name out loud, then check the answer and mark it I know it or Still learning.
How do I cancel Lexly Pro?
In Lexly, open Settings and choose Manage subscription. Or open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
What happens to my photos?
They stay on your iPhone. To name an object, Lexly sends a small cropped copy of it to an AI model, which is thrown away once the name comes back. The details are in the privacy policy.
