One vocabulary system across native content
Track the Chinese words you meet in real content
Rolko keeps useful Chinese vocabulary from supported subtitles, webpages, transcripts, and pasted text in one system. Mark words as learning or learned, see how much of a text you know, and review saved vocabulary with spaced repetition instead of rebuilding a disconnected list for every video or website.

Common questions
What to know before you start
Can I import Chinese words I already know?
Yes. Rolko supports importing existing vocabulary so experienced learners do not have to rebuild their known-word list one word at a time.
Can one list include words from videos and websites?
Yes. Supported subtitle, webpage, transcript, and text-reading flows use the same Rolko vocabulary system after sign-in.
What is the difference between learning and learned?
Learning marks vocabulary you are actively working on. Learned records vocabulary you already know while keeping it available for progress and review logic.
Does Rolko use spaced repetition?
Yes. Saved vocabulary can enter Rolko’s spaced-repetition review workflow.
Can vocabulary coverage prove that I understand a text?
No. Word coverage is a vocabulary estimate, not a guarantee of comprehension. Grammar, context, names, and segmentation also affect understanding.
