This one is for language coaches — the Vocab tab and the words tray only appear for language students. The idea is simple: the chat you type during a lesson is already the vocabulary record, so you click the words out of it instead of retyping them anywhere.
It sits under the AI notes panel and re-renders your chat with every word clickable.
Language students only — a chess or tutoring student's lesson screen doesn't show it.
Tap a word to keep it. Shift-tap a second word to take everything between them. Drag across a phrase to keep it whole. Or use the button beside a line to keep the line exactly as you typed it — which is usually what you want for "assouvir une envie" or "une cave", where the article is part of the word.
Where you glossed a word with a colon — "étirer: to stretch", or a ":to stretch" on the next line — the button offers both halves as one finished card. It only ever offers; nothing is kept until you save.
Every entry in the tray is editable — the word on the left, the meaning on the right. Add the article, join a bad split, correct a spelling. Tap the × to drop an entry.
It reads the chat and proposes candidates — corrections, new words, spellings.
Suggestions arrive UNTICKED, always. Nothing reaches your student that you didn't deliberately pick.
"Add + write cards" asks Claude to fill in the meaning, one example sentence rooted in your student's own lessons, and a usage note. "Add without cards" just puts the words on the list for you to write yourself.
Paste words in directly (one per line, "word — meaning" if you want to set the meaning yourself), edit any card, or retire words they've outgrown.
Retiring keeps the review history — it never deletes anything.
It re-sorts the list by how likely your student is to have forgotten each word right now — that's your warm-up, prepared for you.
You don't have to go looking: the lesson screen shows the wobbling words in your prep column before you start the call.
Claude never overwrites a meaning you set yourself, and every card is editable. Cards are rows, not blobs, so your edits stick.
Flip cards: the word, then the meaning, then three buttons — No idea / Almost / Got it.
It uses spaced repetition (FSRS): a word they nail comes back in weeks, a word they miss comes back before they close the tab. When nothing is due, practice ends and says so — no infinite grind.
It sits under "Waiting on your coach" in their Practice tab and joins the flip cards the moment a meaning exists. Only you can write that meaning (by hand, or with "write the cards"), so the shelf never asks your student to finish your work.
A word heard on the bus is exactly the word worth keeping. It lands on the same list, chipped with their name so you always know it wasn't yours — and it never spends your AI budget, because only you decide whether to write a card for it.
Their additions show up on your lesson screen too, so you'll see them before class.
