Bhashe makes vocabulary learning fun by engaging the user in a game-like interface. Kannada hints are given for some of the most common words used in English. A typical use case scenario is, given a Kannada word, to guess the letters of the corresponding English word. Type in letters within the blanks and upon completion, the letters will be highlighted according to whether they are present in the word and are in the correct location (green), present in the word but in the wrong location (orange), or not present at all (red).

If a guess is incorrect, the letters are cleared for a fresh try. At each letter press, possible solution words may be echoed below.

The application intends to engage the user in building vocabulary in English using native Kannada words, like solving a puzzle.

The application also features history of solved words for reference,
