My kids attend a Mandarin immersion school. Every week they come home with homework I can barely read. I know a few basic characters, but not nearly enough to help them practice.

So I built a small tool:

  1. Take a photo of any homework page
  2. AI extracts vocabulary worth learning (characters, pinyin, English meaning)
  3. Tap-to-flip flashcards that speak the words aloud

It’s not just for vocabulary lists—you can photograph a reading assignment or worksheet and it pulls out the words your kid should know to understand it. Learn the flashcards first, then tackle the actual homework.

You can also print the cards to practice on paper. The front and back line up, so you can cut them out and use them as physical flashcards.

It’s at https://flashcards.pablart.com/ if useful to anyone in the same situation.

I’ll write up the details in a future post for anyone interested. For now, this is just the thing itself.
