What Inkantate does

However you capture it, the sentence comes too.

Point your camera at a word and tap it to keep it — or type it in yourself if that's quicker. Either way, Inkantate keeps the sentence you found it in, so the meaning stays exactly where you met it.

The rain hadn't let up since morning, and the fire in the grate popped and settled while the innkeeper bent low over his ledgers without complaint. He had a sesquipedalian streak that made even his apologies exhausting, each sentence a little longer than the one before it.

How it works

  1. Discover

    Come across a word mid-page — the one you'd normally look up and immediately forget.

  2. Save

    Scan it or type it in — either way, Inkantate keeps the word and the sentence it came from, without breaking your reading.

  3. Remember

    Come back to it later, recalled from your own sentence — not a flashcard, the page you actually read.
