Viseal - Immersive language learning from your daily scenes

VISEAL turns photos into everyday language chats using agentic AI. Snap a photo – it generates back-and-forth dialogues from the scene. Learn language in a more natural and relevant way, let it emerge from your daily moments, not from textbooks.

Hey Product Hunt! I built Viseal to help people learn a language that's directly relevant to their daily life 🤳🏻➜viseal➜🗣️💬🌍🗨️. Just snap a photo and start learning how people chat in another language as you are right there in the scene. I was amazed by how much we can pick up from our daily life — food, waiting for bus, dirty laundries... you name it! You start building your own phrase backpack as you explore. I created this for myself , an expat trying to pick up a new language. Even after lots of courses, I still couldn’t chat naturally. I didn’t need to pass exams, I just wanted to connect with friends and express myself. If this sounds like you, maybe it could help to you, too.😊 Try the demo (no sign-up needed) or sign up for free to explore more! Let me know how it goes. I will be very very thankful to hear your feedback. 🙏

I am testing it and it's so cute <3
I’d appreciate it if hovering over the word with my cursor showed its original meaning. (For a better UX.)
Any plans to expand to other languages?

Thank you so much for trying it out. I’m really glad you find it cute! 💛
And yes, you’re totally right. Showing the original meaning on hover would make the experience smoother. I really appreciate the suggestion. definitely adding it to my list.
Right now it supports 10 languages: English, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Japanese, and Korean. I’d love to hear what other languages you'd want — any specific ones in mind?

@hwellmake I have heard that some people are trying Nordic languages (really dunno why, maybe because their countries are economically strong and people consider residing here) :D

@busmark_w_nika 
Thanks for the suggestion! It’s not a big effort to add, and hopefully it can be useful for users interested in those languages 😊

I’ll add it to the to-do list!

Since Viseal depends on snapping photos of real-life scenes to learn language, how do you handle situations where visual context is limited or unclear?

Ji-Ling Hou

@vouchy 
Good point 🫠

When a photo lacks clear context, the AI still tries its best. Most of the time, it ends up sounding like two people politely trying to talk about a very boring topic. Usually just describing what they see (just test one case below) 😅

I’m planning to improve this by either:

  • Suggesting users take a better photo for a richer conversation, or

  • Making the dialogue more fun or curious, even if the scene is vague.

Thanks for pointing it out. Great point ! 🙇🏻‍♀️

Launching soon!

This is such a great idea! Have you considered setting a fluency level? It seemed to use quite complexe words when trying it out.

Ji-Ling Hou

@lynfogeek hi Arnaud,
Thanks for recognizing the concept 🦭🙇🏻‍♀️

Yes, there is a fluency level system in place that it adjusts the difficulty of phrases and sentence complexity based on the learner’s level.


Most of the time the levels work well, but I’ve definitely seen cases where the AI gets a bit too fancy or playful with word choices 😅 The output can also be influenced by how rich or detailed the photo is. This is actually one of the key areas I’m focusing on improving next. Not very easy, but crucial ! Thanks for pointing out 💛

Excited for the upcoming Shopify & Etsy integrations—I think this will streamline so many e-commerce workflows. Great work!
