"Most language learning apps live on phones, competing with notifications, social media, and every other distraction fighting for your attention. Opening Duolingo between classes usually turns into five minutes of vocabulary followed by twenty minutes of scrolling through feeds you've already checked twice. Designers are starting to build tiny, single-purpose devices that turn fragmented time into focused practice instead of another excuse to stare at your phone screen until your eyes hurt."
"The E-ink Vocabulary Card E2 is one of those tools, a chewing-gum-sized e-ink vocabulary device aimed at students but usable by anyone learning a new language. It pairs with a phone via Bluetooth to pull in study materials and memory modes from an app, then lets you review words on a 2.7-inch e-ink screen without opening your phone. It's small enough to live in a pocket yet designed to feel like a dedicated learning tool."
"The form factor is remarkably simple. A slim rectangular bar about the size of a pack of gum, weighing only thirty grams. Rounded corners, soft edges, and a two-tone color scheme in orange, pink, green, or grey make it look friendly and approachable. The main action button is tilted at five degrees, tuned for thumb reach when you hold it in one hand, while the simple layout keeps the interaction logic easy to understand."
Most language learning apps live on phones and compete with notifications and social media for attention. Designers are building tiny, single-purpose devices that convert fragmented time into focused practice. The E-ink Vocabulary Card E2 is a chewing-gum-sized device that pairs with a phone via Bluetooth to sync study materials and memory modes from an app. The 2.7-inch e-ink touch screen offers low blue light, paper-like contrast, and power efficiency, enabling around 150 days of standby. The device weighs thirty grams, has a thumb-optimized action button, multiple color options, and supports built-in languages plus imported content and study modes.
