“This is really cool! The UI is very intuitive and not annoying and the text it generated was interesting and the right level for me. This really is the first language tool I've seen in a while that's actually interesting and fresh.”

Every word in your Ido reading passage is clickable. Get English translations and grammar help as you build vocabulary through Ido's predictable affixes.
Type any topic and LingoBear generates a fresh Ido reading passage — useful when the small community produces limited published material.
Ido was created in 1907 by the Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language as a reform of Esperanto. The name means 'offspring' in Esperanto. Compared to Esperanto, Ido drops the diacritics (no ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ), uses fewer obligatory accusative endings, has stricter rules for word formation, and replaced some roots felt to be too 'European' biased.
Estimates of active Ido speakers range from a few hundred to several thousand worldwide. The community is small but maintains the Uniono por la Linguo Internaciona Ido (ULI) and regular online meetings. While not as widely used as Esperanto, Ido has a published literature including translations of Shakespeare and Andersen and is documented in the official Kompleta Gramatiko Detaloza.
