About
BuRead is a reader for people learning a language by reading real things: articles, books and videos with subtitles. Tap a word to see what it means in this exact sentence. The words you tap come back later for review, inside sentences you have already read.
WHAT YOU CAN READ
• Articles: paste a link, and the page opens as clean text.
• Books: EPUB, with a paged mode and a table of contents.
• YouTube videos with subtitles: the transcript sits next to the video, and its words behave like words in a text.
• Add a link or an EPUB right from your iPhone or iPad, or save a page from your desktop browser with the Chrome extension.
WHILE YOU READ
• Tap a word: translation, pronunciation, and what it means in this particular sentence.
• Select a phrase: it is saved whole and broken down word by word.
• Give a word a status with one tap: 1, 2, 3, known, ignore. The marks show right in the text and fade as you learn.
• Every text shows what share of its words you already know, so you can pick by difficulty instead of guessing.
• Listen to any word or sentence.
YOUR WORDS
• One vocabulary across everything: a word learned in an article is recognised in a book and in video subtitles.
• Review in your own sentences: a word comes back inside the sentence where you met it, not on a bare card. A few minutes a day, and the intervals take care of themselves.
• See how many words you know and how it grows.
ONE ACCOUNT EVERYWHERE
iPhone, iPad and the web. Reading positions, vocabulary and notes are the same everywhere: start on the tablet, and the phone opens the same place. Downloaded texts read offline.
LANGUAGES
Read in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Russian, with meanings in your own language.
PRIVACY
No ads and no trackers. Your materials stay yours: nobody else sees them. Details at buread.app/privacy.
Made by one developer who wanted to read novels in a new language without a dictionary in the other hand. Questions and ideas: support@buread.app

What's New in BuRead
1.1.0
October 7, 2026
Start reading without an account. Pick your languages, mark the words you already know, choose a first text — an account is made only when you open it. · Save your progress whenever you like: add an email and a password, and everything you read and saved stays. · The hundred most frequent words of your language come marked as known, so your first text starts with fewer new words. · A short tour on your first text shows how tapping a word works. · Go back on any step and your answers are still there; close the app and it picks up where you left off. · Fixes: the word sheet sits at the bottom edge again; your native and reading languages can no longer be the same.
