Inoh
Superpower your English. Collect words anywhere. Turn them into rich vocabulary cards and make them yours.
Inoh is a vocabulary app with a 45,000 word dictionary, spaced repetition, pronunciation scoring and quizzes. This extension puts the collecting half on your Mac: look a word up from wherever you are reading, add it to a deck, and when the dictionary doesn't have the word, make the card yourself without leaving Raycast.
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Search Word | Search the Inoh dictionary and add cards to your deck |
| Generate | Turn words the dictionary doesn't have into your cards |
| Search Selected Word | Look up selected text in the Inoh dictionary |
| Search Word from Screenshot | Read a word off the screen with OCR and look it up |
Features
- Search 45,000+ dictionary words with tokenized contains-matching — free, no account required
- Preview the definition, image and example sentence before adding, and hear the word said out loud
- Add to any of your decks, ready for review with a full FSRS learning state (requires an Inoh account)
- Look up the word you have selected in any app, or grab one off the screen with OCR when the text can't be selected
- Make the card yourself when the dictionary doesn't have the word: your own private card in about a minute, or a request for the public dictionary
- Save a word for later instead, and finish it on the web, on your phone, or from an AI assistant
Open the actions panel and choose Apps → Connect to Claude to set up practice with your Inoh deck. AI Assistants stays in the same section for all connection guides.
Getting Started
Searching is free and needs no account. To add cards to a deck, sign in when prompted: enter your Inoh email, then the one-time code sent to your inbox — no password needed. The same step signs you in or creates your account automatically.
Search Word from Screenshot
For words you can't select: video captions, PDFs, ebooks, video calls, games. The command draws a crosshair, you drag a box around the word, and the search list opens with it already looked up. Recognition runs on-device through Apple Vision, so no image ever leaves your Mac.
Draw the box around a single word. Inoh matches against the word itself, so capturing a whole sentence finds nothing.
macOS needs Screen Recording permission for Raycast the first time you run it. One caveat worth knowing: macOS blanks DRM-protected video before anything can capture it, so subtitles in Netflix and Apple TV+ come through as a black rectangle. The command tells you when that happens. YouTube, local video files, and everything else work normally.
Generate
For words the Inoh dictionary doesn't have yet. Pick a dictionary, type the word, say which meaning its card should teach, and Inoh makes the card:
- Private cards are yours only and take about a minute
- Public requests go to a reviewer and land in the shared dictionary if approved, which can take days
The meaning is asked for rather than guessed, because a word alone isn't enough to generate from — "spring" has several senses and a card teaches one.
Private cards come out of a monthly allowance — 50 on Free, 300 on Plus, 1,000 on Pro, reset on the 1st — and the form warns you once it's nearly spent. Run out and the refusal says so in your plan's own words and offers the upgrade. Public requests never touch the allowance.
If the word was already saved to your drafts from a search miss, this fills that draft in rather than writing a second one. A request that's refused — you already have one in flight for that word, or you've used the month's private cards — leaves the word waiting in your drafts, so nothing you typed is lost.
Plans
| Free | Plus | Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cards in your decks | 300 | 1,000 | Unlimited |
| Cards you generate yourself | 50 a month | 300 a month | 1,000 a month |
| Pronunciation practice | 100 a month | 1,000 a month | 10,000 a month |
Searching the dictionary is free and needs no account at all. Everything in the table needs one.
Your plan shows as a badge in the header next to your email. Free and Plus accounts get an Upgrade Plan action that opens the plans page in your browser; paid accounts get Manage Subscription, which opens your account settings on app.inoh.app to change or cancel. After you upgrade, the badge updates the next time you open the extension.
Development Checks
Install dependencies with npm ci. Run npm test for definition-field and sign-in
regression tests, npm run lint for linting and formatting, npm run typecheck
for strict type checking of the extension and tests, and npm run build to
compile the extension. The tests use React Test Renderer with controlled
suggestion responses, deck loading, sign-in callbacks, and timers.
The existing backend tests run with npm run e2e:run against a local Inoh
Supabase stack. Set INOH_BACKEND_DIR to the backend checkout when it is not
at ../inoh-backend.
