The forgetting curve

You learn a word. A week later, it’s gone.

Memory fades fast unless something brings it back. Matopin shows each card right before you’d forget it, so it sticks with fewer reviews.

Every review lands just before the word slips, and each one makes the memory last longer.

Scheduling by FSRS, the open-source algorithm used in Anki.

How it works

From a topic to a word you’ll never forget.

01

Step 1

Describe it. Get a deck.

Type a topic, paste a word list, or drop in a file. Matopin writes the cards: readings, meanings and natural example sentences.

Watch a deck write itself.

Step 2

Read it the way it sounds.

Pinyin is coloured by tone and kanji get furigana. Highlight any word, anywhere in the app, to copy it, hear it, look it up or make a card.

Tone colours: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and neutral.

Step 3

Hear every card.

Natural AI voices read every word and sentence. Conversations get two different speakers, so you always know who’s talking.

Two voices, picked per conversation.

What would you like?

BVoice 2

A latte, thanks.

Step 4

Review at the right moment.

Grade yourself and FSRS picks the next review. Easy cards drift into the background; tricky ones come back sooner.

Try it: show the answer and grade yourself.

How do I say “I’m running late” in Japanese?

Bao

Try 遅れそうです. It’s polite and works for work or friends.
