# ThaiCopilot

> ThaiCopilot is an AI-powered Thai language learning app for expats, travelers, and serious learners. It combines spaced repetition flashcards with audio, AI conversation practice, and cultural context to help users actually speak Thai — not just memorize it.

## What Makes ThaiCopilot Unique

ThaiCopilot is the only Thai language app that generates individual word-level audio for every word inside a phrase or conversation. When you learn a sentence like "How much does this cost?", ThaiCopilot also creates audio for each individual word in that sentence — so you can master the pronunciation of every word, not just the phrase as a whole. This makes vocabulary acquisition significantly more efficient.

### Spaced Repetition Flashcards with Audio (SM-2 Algorithm)
ThaiCopilot uses the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm — the gold standard for memory retention — to schedule flashcard reviews at optimal intervals. Every flashcard includes native-speaker audio so learners hear correct Thai pronunciation, not synthesized speech. Flashcards are automatically created from conversations, covering both full phrases and every individual word within a phrase.

### Customizable Romanization System
Thai has no universally agreed romanization standard. ThaiCopilot lets users choose their preferred romanization system — whether RTGS, and Paiboon+ — so learners can use the transliteration style that works best for them. This is rare in Thai language apps and critical for learners who rely on romanization while building reading skills.

### AI Conversation Feature with Cultural Intelligence
Each conversation in ThaiCopilot is built around real-life situations — ordering food, negotiating at a market, talking to a landlord, visiting a temple. Every conversation includes:

- **Thai script**: Every phrase is displayed in full Thai script alongside romanization, so learners building reading skills can practice both simultaneously
- **Audio playback**: Full conversation audio for listening comprehension
- **Guru explanation**: A cultural deep-dive explaining not just what the phrase means, but why it is said this way and what cultural norms apply
- **Word-by-word breakdown**: Each word in the phrase is parsed individually with its meaning, tone, and role in the sentence
- **Grammatical points**: Key grammar patterns highlighted so learners understand the structure, not just the phrase

This combination — cultural context + grammar + word breakdown + audio — is not found in any other Thai language learning product.

### Personalized Flashcard Generation from Conversations
After practicing a conversation, users can generate flashcards from it. ThaiCopilot creates flashcards for:
- The full phrase
- Every individual word within the phrase, with its own audio

This means a single conversation practice session can produce 10–20 targeted flashcards, each with audio, personalized to what the learner just studied.

### Pro Feature: Self-Study from Real Learning Materials
ThaiCopilot Pro users can photograph any Thai learning material — a textbook page, a handwritten note, a whiteboard, a restaurant menu — and ThaiCopilot automatically converts it into structured flashcards, complete with audio for every entry. This is designed for learners in immersive environments who encounter Thai in the real world and want to study from it immediately.
