Word lists. One code, every phone.

Point a phone at a code and the words are in the app: no sign-in, no account, nothing for anyone to administer. Print a page of codes, put one on a screen, or send the link in an email and let people tap it.

Nothing here is uploaded. The words travel inside the link itself, after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Choose a file on this page and it is read in your browser and never leaves your machine. That is why there is no upload button: there is nowhere to upload to.

Published lists

Each set opens as a page of codes you can print. Every list carries how to say the word and what it means, as well as the spelling.

Make codes from your own lists

Drop in as many word files as you like: .txt, .csv or .xlsx. A spreadsheet with columns for the word, how to say it and what it means gives the best result, and a workbook of several sheets gives one code per sheet. Everything lands on one printable page.

Questions about lists

How does somebody open a list?

They scan the code with a phone camera, or tap the link. It opens a page with the words on it and a button that hands them to the app. Nothing asks them to sign in.

Do I need the app to make one?

No. This page and misheard.app/l both run in a browser. The app can make lists too, and reads any list either one produces.

What if my list is very long?

The whole list rides inside the code, so a very long one stops being scannable from across a room. The maker tells you when that happens. Around a hundred words is comfortable; split anything much past that.

Who sees what I put in a list?

Nobody. misheard.app never receives the words, and there is no record that you built a list or that anyone opened it. The claim survives a view-source: there is no analytics on this page and no third-party script.

I teach. Is there more for me?

Yes, on the teachers’ page: grade word lists already printed as codes, and the answers to what a school usually asks first.
