The program is app-powered and displays an advertisement on start which you need to click away to begin using the program.
A new mysterious application by Microsoft that is included in the State of Decay test is now also available as a standalone application.

Note that it is not possible currently to remove the app using the Settings application.
Lingvoji is a language learning application that puts the focus on speech recognition, listening, and inking. The app supports mouse and keyboard, but is best used with digital pens according to the maker.
