# BloomEDU

> BloomEDU is a free app for iOS and Android for learning and mastering wildflower identification through AI-powered spaced repetition, podcast narrations, and Seek screenshot integration. Built by Skylark Creations.

## Key Facts

- 46,000+ wildflowers in the database (primarily US species)
- 337,000+ quiz questions across the plant collection
- Downloadable regional data packs — quizzes, browsing, and spaced repetition work offline once installed (plant identification, podcast narrations, and Seek import require a connection)
- Free on the iOS App Store and Google Play with optional premium subscription
- Spaced repetition algorithm based on learning science research
- AI-generated podcast narrations (4-5 minutes per plant)
- Integrates with iNaturalist's Seek app via screenshot OCR import

## Core Features

### Spaced Repetition Learning
A 7-interval adaptive algorithm that schedules plant identification reviews at scientifically-optimized intervals. Incorrect answers are re-shown in 1 minute; mastered plants are reviewed weekly. Targets 80-90% long-term retention.

### Seek Screenshot Import (Premium)
Users screenshot plant identifications from iNaturalist's Seek app and import them into BloomEDU. Cloud OCR extracts plant names, fuzzy matching finds them in the database, and they're automatically added to personalized learning queues.

### Podcast Narrations (Premium)
Each plant has a 4-5 minute AI-narrated story covering botanical characteristics, ecological roles, cultural significance, and field identification tips. Supports background playback. Free users get rotating sample narrations.

### Offline-First Architecture
Core learning features (quizzes, spaced repetition, plant browsing) work without internet once a regional data pack is downloaded. Device text-to-speech works offline. Plant identification, premium podcast narrations, Seek screenshot import, and sync operations require a connection.
