SpanishDict was founded by Jeremy Cummings and Martha Cummings in 1999.[2] Jeremy Cummings' brother, Chris Cummings, took over as CEO in 2007 while he was studying for a JD and MBA at Harvard University. [5]
According to Fast Company, SpanishDict's user base grew to over 9 million users per month by 2013. [5] In 2014, the Washington Post reported that SpanishDict reached over 12 million users per month. [1] During the COVID-19 pandemic, SpanishDict and its accompanying product for English learners, inglés.com, reached over 100 million people annually. [2]
SpanishDict is often cited as a resource in academic journal articles in the fields of language acquisition[6][7][8] and linguistics[9] [10][11][12].
In 2022, Curiosity Media was acquired by IXL Learning.[13]
