Origa documentation
Guides on how Origa works and how to use it.
Getting started
If you are new, start here. The guide covers install, sign-in, onboarding, your first lesson, and how to add your own cards.
By feature
- Lessons: what is in a lesson, the acquaintance stage for new cards, card types, rating, and how spaced repetition schedules your reviews.
- How Origa decides what to show you: the forgetting curve, FSRS, paces and daily limits: why cards run out and why that is normal.
- Vocabulary: built-in dictionaries, audio pronunciation, four ways to add cards, and pre-built word sets.
- Kanji: automatic furigana that hides as you learn, writing practice with stroke order, and JLPT-mapped kanji.
- Grammar: JLPT-organized reference with examples built from vocabulary you already know.
- Phrases and listening: native-speaker phrases with original audio, automatically selected for your level.
- Capture: on-device OCR and speech recognition: how to use them, when models download, and known limits.
Reference
- Limitations: current boundaries of Origa, stated plainly.
