Learn English Naturally

Termy is a tiny and efficient app that lives in your tray. When you need an explanation, just press the assigned hotkey — and get the result. Termy captures your active window, sends it securely to our servers, identifies difficult terms for your level, and shows clear explanations in an overlay. The whole process takes about 2 seconds.

The browser extension works similarly, with two use cases:
1. Select text, press the hotkey, and get explanations.
2. Press the hotkey while watching a video with subtitles — difficult terms from the visible subtitles will be explained.

The desktop app works with any window on your computer — video players, games, any application.

The browser extension is specifically for websites like YouTube, Reddit, and articles. You can use the desktop app with the browser too, but in this case the text from the whole page will be analyzed — it's usually not what you want, so we recommend using the browser extension for web pages.

Termy supports translation to 9 languages: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. We're adding more based on user requests.

Termy works for all levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced). The AI adapts explanations to your level — beginners get simpler definitions, advanced learners get nuanced explanations with synonyms and usage notes.

It is recommended, though, that you use content at a level similar (or slightly higher) to your own. This way you will get just the right amount of fun and explanations.

CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) is a standard for measuring language proficiency. Levels range from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery). Termy uses your CEFR level to show words that are challenging but not overwhelming.

Any video player works with the desktop app — local video players and videos in browser (YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.). If you can see it on your screen, Termy can analyze it.

DRM-protected video (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) typically appears black in screenshots — but subtitles are rendered separately and usually do appear! Since Termy only needs the subtitles to work, it works great with most DRM content.

Yes! The desktop app works with any game — windowed, borderless, and most fullscreen modes. RPGs with lots of dialogue (like Baldur's Gate, Witcher, Mass Effect) are especially great for learning. Just press the hotkey whenever you see text you don't understand.

Tip: Make sure your chosen hotkey isn't already used by the game. If the overlay doesn't appear in fullscreen, try switching to borderless windowed mode.

Not much, Termy is very efficient. You shouldn't notice any performance degradation when Termy is running.

No. Screenshots are processed in real-time and immediately discarded. We never store, log, or use your screen content for any purpose other than generating explanations.

You get 10 free explanations per day. No credit card required. This is enough to try Termy and see if it fits your learning style.

Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel with one click and you won't be charged again. You'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

Dictionaries show you every word equally. Termy knows your level and only highlights what's actually difficult for YOU. Plus, it explains phrases and idioms that dictionaries miss, like "give birth to AI" or "ask a service of you".

Translation gives you meaning but doesn't teach you English. Termy explains words in English at your level, helping you actually learn and remember them — it helps you think in English naturally. You can also switch to translation mode when you need it.
