Editorial policy

Who writes

The articles, free tools and reading glossary are made by the Talemi Team, the people building the app. Everything is published under that name.

We write about reading for everyday readers: habits, goals, pace, lists and apps. We don’t give medical or psychological advice. When a topic touches on health, such as sleep or eyesight, we rely on research and say what it doesn’t show.

Where our facts come from

Every number, study result and fact about another app has a source. We look for them in this order:

• peer-reviewed research, linked by DOI or an open repository;
• reports from institutions such as national libraries;
• official websites, help pages and app store listings, when we write about features and prices;
• experts quoted by name in reputable media.

Before we add a link, we open the source and check that it says what we say. We don’t copy numbers from other blogs or from memory. If a fact can’t be confirmed, it comes out of the text.

We link each source in the sentence it supports and list them under “Sources” at the end of the article. Purely practical guides with no numbers or studies may not have that section.

Comparisons with other apps

Talemi is our app, so we aren’t neutral in comparisons. That’s why:

• we always say plainly that we make Talemi and that it’s still in development;
• we give the date we checked other apps’ prices and features, and link their official pages;
• we list Talemi’s limitations, not just its strengths;
• there are no paid placements or affiliate links in our articles.

How we write about Talemi

We only describe features that are in the app, and we check them in its current version. When something is only planned, we say so. The screenshots on this site come from the test version.

The tools we use

We use a range of tools for research, writing and translation, including AI-based ones. Every fact is still checked against its source using the rules above, and the Talemi Team is responsible for everything we publish.

The calculators and tests on this site do all their maths in your browser. Each tool page explains the formula it uses.

Languages

Most articles are written in Polish and English. Some articles and all the tools also exist in German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. We don’t translate word for word: each version is written for readers in that language, with links to pages in that language. Articles about Poland stay in Polish and English.

Updates

When a fact, price or feature changes, we update the text and the “updated” date under the title. Some articles are refreshed on a schedule:

• reading data for Poland every year, when the National Library of Poland publishes its new report;
• app comparisons roughly every six months;
• the reading challenge for the coming year every autumn.

Mistakes and corrections

Spotted a mistake, an out-of-date price or a source that says something else? Write to us at wrappgroup@gmail.com. We check every report, and a corrected article gets a new “updated” date.
