Meet your own words in a short story

Story Mode writes a short story in the language you are learning, using the words on your own cards. Each sentence carries one of your words, and the ones you keep missing come back more than once. You read it, tap any word for its translation, and tell MindDory how well you knew each word. It is free, up to three stories a day.

How do I use Story Mode?

1. Add a few words first. On the web, a folder needs at least three cards before it can become a story.
2. On the web, open Home and choose "As a story", or open a folder and click "Story". In the phone app, open a folder and tap "Generate Story", or use "Put them in a story" on Home.
3. Wait a few seconds while the story is written. It arrives in short parts, so you can start reading straight away.
4. Tap any word to see its translation. Select a word or a whole sentence and choose "Translate" to save it as a new card.
5. Under each of your words, rate it Easy, Hard or Failed. That answer moves the word in your review schedule, exactly like a flashcard review.
6. At the end, choose "Review these again now" if you want to practise the same words as cards.

You need a verified email address to generate a story. Translating inside a story does not count against any limit.

Why read a story instead of flipping cards?

A card shows a word alone. A story shows it doing its job: next to other words, in a sentence that means something. That is the context you need to use the word yourself later.

It also changes how review feels. Twenty cards in a row is a chore; a story with twenty of your words in it is something you read.

Which words go into the story?

Up to twenty of your own cards, from one folder or from everything due today. Words you marked as failed appear three times and hard ones twice, so the story leans on what you find difficult.

All the words in one story are in the same language. The story stays under 500 words.

How many stories can I read?

The free plan includes up to three stories a day, and five a day during your first week. Premium removes that daily count. Every AI feature also shares one daily AI budget, so even on Premium the number is large rather than endless.

What Story Mode is not

• It is not a graded reader. It does not use your level test result to set the difficulty; it is built from the words you saved.
• It is not a book. Each story is short, under 500 words, and written for the words you are learning now.
• It does not mix languages. One story, one language.
