Tired of learning new words through boring text? So are we! We hate it.
Memorizing words from plain text can be frustrating. That’s why we created PicVoca—your ultimate English Picture Dictionary, a smarter alternative to the Oxford Picture Dictionary extension.
Why Visual Learning?
Studies show that visual vocabulary learning can boost retention by up to 65%. The Picture Superiority Effect explains why images stick in our memory better than words alone.
Think in English, Don’t Translate!
Stop relying on translations—immerse yourself in a monolingual dictionary to accelerate learning. The first rule to fluency? Think in English! Think through Pictures!
With PicVoca, reading articles, understanding podcast subtitles, and even feeling the lyrics in songs becomes easier. Make it a habit, and let PicVoca simplify your learning journey!
New to English?
If you're just starting and struggle to Think in English, use the Google Translate extension alongside PicVoca—we’ve tested them together for a seamless experience!
