Can I import my own text into Flipkado?
Yes. You can paste or import a text and turn it into a deck, and the words from it then feed reading, chat, writing and grammar like any other deck.
Turn your vocabulary into reading practice
There are two ways to connect reading and vocabulary, and they run in opposite directions. Most tools start with a text: you read it, tap the words you don't know, and they become flashcards. Flipkado starts with the words: you build a deck, and it writes reading material that uses them. Which one you want depends on whether you already know which words you need to learn.
The two directions, side by side
LingQ and Readlang are the tools usually recommended for reading-based vocabulary learning, and both work text-first. Readlang lets you click any word or phrase on a page or an uploaded text to translate it, saves what you clicked, and reviews it with flashcards. LingQ gives you a large lesson library plus browser extensions to import your own content, highlights the words you have not met, and schedules them for review.
Flipkado works the other way round. Your deck comes first — typed in, imported, or generated by AI from a topic — and the reading stories, chat, writing prompts and grammar drills are built from the words in it. The same words keep coming back across all five kinds of practice instead of only in flashcards.
Which one fits your situation
Pick a text-first tool when the text is the point: you want to read a specific news site, novel or web page, and the vocabulary you take away is whatever that text happens to contain. Readlang's browser extension and LingQ's library are both built for exactly that.
Pick Flipkado when the words are the point: you have a list you must learn — an exam syllabus, a textbook chapter, words your teacher gave you, or words you keep forgetting — and you want material built around them. That is the case a text-first tool cannot serve, because it can only save words from texts you happened to read.
What Flipkado does with your deck
One deck feeds five kinds of practice: flashcards with reviews scheduled over time, reading stories written at your level using your words, an AI chat partner that corrects you as you write, writing prompts with feedback, and grammar drills built from the same vocabulary. You can also import your own text and turn it into a deck, so a text-first workflow is available when you want it.
