Roadmap
What we’re building next
Public, honest, and not a promise of dates. “Now” is what we’re actively working on; “Next” is queued; “Later” is what we want to do once the queue clears. Plans change.

Actively working on this.
Speech recognition and shadowing
Listen to a sentence in native audio, speak it back, get a character-overlap score. Uses the Web Speech API — no extra account required. Closes the loop with the reading/listening/writing skills the app already exercises.
Weeks 2–4 of the starter curriculum
Week 1 covers the 30 most common characters and four sentence patterns. Next: cover the 100 most common characters, more sentence patterns, and a first short story by the end of week 4.
Queued, next up.
Bigger mnemonics set
Grow the hand-authored character mnemonics past the current 30, and add memory hooks for high-frequency multi-character words and idioms.
Anki .apkg export
Export your saved vocabulary as an Anki deck so you can review on devices where Taric isn't installed.
Public uptime page
A simple status page so you can tell at a glance whether something is wrong on our end.
Wanted, not yet scheduled.
Native iOS and Android apps
Offline reading, native gestures, lockscreen audio. The shared core library is already split out for this; the apps themselves are a longer build.
Graded readers in your level band
Algorithmically generate short stories tuned to the words you already know, so the next thing you read is comfortably comprehensible.
Sentence mining from your own library
Pull example sentences for review from books you've actually read, instead of always pulling from Tatoeba.
- Native-speaker TTS audio everywhere, cached per word.
- 108 hand-authored grammar entries (A1–B2), searchable, with trigger words that surface grammar while you read.
- 3,300-book library with per-user readability scoring.
- Animated and interactive stroke-order practice with mistake counts.
- Daily review queue with FSRS spaced repetition.
- Tone training and minimal-pair drills with rotating voices.
- Custom EPUB upload — drop in your own books.
- Free trial, monthly/yearly/lifetime pricing, Stripe-managed.
For transparency, things we’ve looked at and decided not to build.
- Social features / forums.
- An AI conversation partner (commodity; better tools exist).
- Achievement badges.
- Translation services.
