Language-learning technology, grounded in research.

We are a small group of researchers, engineers, and testers creating new tools and methods to help people learn languages. Our work piggybacks on the astonishing progress we see today in natural language processing and machine learning. We are excited to build applications that direct this technology to meet individuals' personal learning styles, informed by applied linguistics research and pedagogical principles.

We are currently supporting two products. The Pindu Reader is a hosted reading app that adapts Chinese passages to each learner, based on Krashen's Input Hypothesis that people learn best when their practice is calibrated precisely to what they know. The Pindu Anki Add-On is a free desktop add-on that turns an Anki collection into personalized reading practice, whether extensive or intensive.

We're working on bringing the same personalization-centric approach to the needs of schools and reading platforms. If that overlaps with your work, please email contact@pindulabs.com.
