Vocora Publications & Notes
This page collects reading and design notes that inform Vocora, my language-learning startup focused on English learning and IELTS preparation. Each item remains in its canonical section according to its content type. Inclusion here means that the item informs the product; it does not mean that it is a peer-reviewed publication or that a product-specific effect has been established.
