Desktop floating English typing drill
A desktop overlay that turns idle office minutes into English listening and typing practice.
- Problem
- Office workers want to use fragmented time for English practice, but reaching for a phone is too conspicuous and dedicated apps break their workflow. Practicing listening or spelling means opening a separate page, and once interrupted it is hard to get back to work.
- Solution
- A transparent always-on-top overlay that floats above code, Excel, and documents. Users pick a sentence, hear the pronunciation, and type along, with tap-to-define, favorites, review, and combo feedback — all local-first without stealing focus.
- Users
- Knowledge workers such as developers, designers, and operators who sit at a computer all day and want micro-learning during idle moments.
- MVP
- Non-activating desktop overlay; built-in leveled sentence library with system TTS; type-along input with instant correction; favorites and a simple review queue; local storage with no account required.
- Revenue
- Free tier plus a one-time or annual Pro upgrade for custom sentence packs, review stats, and multi-device export; enterprise sentence-pack licensing as an add-on.
- Why now
- TTS and small local models are light enough now, acceptance of workflow-preserving micro-learning is rising, and a solo developer can ship a native desktop MVP quickly.
