How Frásögn works

A community of learners who share and learn together.

Share study material and earn time in return. Time is the currency: buy or earn it and move freely between courses and tools. Get material from others, extend it and make it yours.

The community

Learn from others and strengthen the community.

Use material shared by others, discuss it, and save it to My study. When you share your own material, it can help someone else — and its use may earn extra time for your wallet.

One time wallet

Buy time and use it wherever you need it.

There is no fixed monthly subscription. Your time follows you between study materials and tools and is only deducted when a service is used.

The purpose

A simpler way to understand and remember.

The goal is to make learning more accessible, personal, and less overwhelming. You choose the material and Frásögn helps you break it down, find the key ideas, and move forward in short, clear steps.

Especially useful when reading and focus require more energy

For dyslexia

Listen to text, get clear explanations, and turn long material into shorter, manageable parts.

For ADHD

Work in short study steps, see your progress, and switch between audio, flashcards, and quizzes.

For different ways of learning

Read, listen, view slides, ask questions, or test your knowledge — whichever works best now.

Three simple steps

From raw material to active learning.

Choose or add material

Find material shared by the community or add your own text, image, document, or scanned page.

Choose how you learn

Get a summary, explanation, narration, slides, flashcards, quiz, or a focused conversation.

Practise and continue

Move through short steps, track progress, and return exactly where you left off.

The toolbox

Many paths to the same goal.

Every tool works together and uses the same time wallet.

Summary and explanation

Shorten long text or get a difficult idea explained in simpler language.

Scan and listen

Photograph a page, extract its text, and listen to it being read aloud.

Slides, flashcards, and quizzes

Turn material into varied activities that support memory and understanding.

Translation and narration

Translate material and listen in Icelandic or English according to the text.

Study assistance

Ask questions in a conversation that stays focused on the material you are studying.
