Chad Vocab: Vocabulary practice with local Gemma!

·2 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend Chad Vocab is a self-hosted vocabulary trainer I built for Chad, a friend who is learning Polish. He is able to enter his own language pairs, or photograph a text book page, which gets converted into a vocabulary deck. He can make other language pairs and other decks, if needed. In this demo, he gets English cues and answers in Polish — by typing or speaking. Near-miss answers are graded by an open-weight Gemma model running locally through LM Studio.
