A Swift chatbot is built as a language‑learning tool that actually works: it uses iOS speech‑to‑text (Siri) for pronunciation, accepts photos, sends them to OCR services (Google/Microsoft), calls Google Translate API for definitions, links words to Wiktionary and schedules reviews with spaced repetition, parses LINE stickers as answers, and runs on Heroku with Vapor. The result is measurable faster vocabulary acquisition across phone, watch and desktop; profit remains optional.
