Support

Help for the PapaGaio apps โ€” iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows โ€” and for the Telegram bot.

Contact

Email [email protected] โ€” questions, bug reports and suggestions are all welcome, usually answered within a couple of days. If you prefer chat, the bot @papagaio_ebot reaches the same place.

Support address, spelled out: agent [at] azenha.ai โ€” Cloudflare rewrites any address it recognises into an anti-spam redirect, so the readable copy has to dodge the scanner to stay readable in the page source.

Common questions

Do I need an account?

No. The app opens straight into the translator and the dictionary. Tap start here on the Cards tab and it creates a profile on the spot โ€” no email, no password, nothing to remember.

How do I get the same progress on my phone and my laptop?

Send /link to @papagaio_ebot, then paste the code it replies with into the app (Settings โ†’ Pairing code). Every device holding that code shares one deck and one review queue: start a card on the phone, finish it on the laptop.

Does it work without internet?

The dictionary does, once you download it: Settings โ†’ Offline dictionaries. Cards you have already synced also review offline, and your answers are sent when the connection returns. The AI coach, the translator and photo translation need a connection โ€” they think on the server.

There is no sound.

Check the silent switch and the volume first โ€” audio plays through the media channel. Recorded audio is fetched once and cached, so the very first play of a word needs a connection.

Why European Portuguese only?

Because that is the point. Most translators quietly answer in the Brazilian variant; PapaGaio always answers in the Portuguese spoken in Portugal and Madeira, and flags every word where the two differ.

How do I delete my data?

Send /delete to the bot, or email us from the address above and say so โ€” the profile, the cards you added and the review history go with it. Deleting the app alone removes only the local copy.

Is it really free?

Yes โ€” no ads, no subscription, no premium tier, nothing locked. It runs on free infrastructure and is built as a language-learning tool, not a business.
