Vocably is the first open-source dictionary. Why does that matter?
Every time you look up a word with Vocably, it initiates a process that creates a detailed dictionary entry. Eventually, the entry becomes anonymized and is stored in a free, publicly available database.
Anyone in the world (except corporations) is welcome to use this database to create language-related products and enhance language learning.
Each time you look up a word with Vocably, you contribute to improving the language ecosystem.
New Discord group: if you find a problem with any dictionary entry, join the Discord group and report it so it can be fixed.
