Understand the Norwegian you actually hear — not just what's in the textbook.
Paste any text — a news article, a letter from NAV, a chat, a photo of a sign. Tap an unfamiliar word and get an instant translation into English plus a native speaker's pronunciation. Words go straight into your personal vocabulary with spaced repetition, and the app figures out your level on its own.
Klokken er sju om morgenen. Sola skinner, og fuglene synger utenfor vinduet. Anna står opp og går på badet.
The textbook is one thing. Real Norwegian is something else entirely.
Courses teach you language that barely comes up in real life — and when someone at NAV, the doctor's surgery, or your workplace actually talks to you, you're still lost. Sprakly trains you on real texts: news, letters, messages, signs. The stuff you run into every day.
Three steps — and any text becomes a lesson.
Paste your text
A news article, a letter, a chat thread, a photo of a sign — anything works.
Tap a word
Instant translation into English and a native speaker's pronunciation.
Remember without memorising
Saved words come back for review until they stick for good.
What early users are saying.
We're in closed beta. No inflated numbers — just honest feedback from the first cohort.
«A completely different approach from any other app.»
«A real booster for learning Norwegian.»
«Like having a digital tutor.»
«The variety of real, authentic texts is what makes it stand out.»
«Norwegian newspapers are so much easier to read now.»
«I love that you just tap a word in the text and the translation pops up.»
«Unknown words — translation and correct pronunciation, right there.»
«The translation speed.»
What's inside.
Read anything you want
Paste text, upload a file, or photograph a sign — the app reads it and turns it into a lesson.
Tap a word — instant translation
One tap gets you a translation into English and a native speaker's pronunciation.
Vocabulary with spaced repetition
Saved words come back for review at exactly the right moment, so they actually stick.
Level detection and listening
The app assesses your level (A0–C2) and trains your listening comprehension — you retell what you heard, and Sprakly checks it.
AI tutor
Remembers the words you already know and talks with you at your level — no boredom, no repetition.
Dialogues and grammar
Real-life dialogues and short lessons with exercises — grammar when it matters, not for its own sake.
Not just Norwegian
The same approach works for other languages too. Pick whatever you want to learn — the interface and translations stay in English.
"I also want to pick up some Spanish" — go for it: same reader, same tap-to-translate.
Three things we do differently.
Here's what a typical session looks like.
The questions we hear most.
Is this for Norskprøven prep?
Is it free?
Which languages can I study?
Do I need to be in Norway?
How is this different from regular courses?
What if I'm a complete beginner?
Pilot program for language schools and integration centres
We're offering 30 free demo accounts for 6 months to organisations working with newcomer and immigrant adults in Norway. In return, we ask for feedback from coordinators or teachers — and, if you find the tool useful, a short letter of support for our Innovasjon Norge grant application.
One-click demo
A ready-to-use account with no Google sign-in required. Show it to students in five minutes.
15–20 min conversation
After 4–6 weeks of use — a short chat about what worked and what was missing.
30 licences
At the end of the pilot, your organisation gets 30 user accounts for immigrant adult learners.
Preparing for Norskprøven? Reading real texts and practising listening comprehension is exactly what the exam tests.
