iRead: Translate & Learn

iRead is a calm reader for people learning a language through real texts. Bring in a book, an article or a PDF in the language you're learning, read at your own pace, translate unfamiliar words with a tap, and keep them in a personal vocabulary. READ ANYTHING - Books in FB2 (including fb2.zip), EPUB and TXT — with the author, italics and bold preserved - Articles and notes in Markdown - PDFs: select text right on the page and translate it. Each PDF remembers its language pair, the page and the zoom you left it at - Pages of paper books: take a photo and the text is recognized automatically - Pasted text and anything shared from other apps TRANSLATION WITHOUT THE INTERNET - Translation runs on your device — fast and private - Any pair of system-supported languages: you choose what you read and what you translate into - Language packs download once; after that everything works offline YOUR READING DAY - The Library opens with your day: how long you read and how many words you saved - A reading diary: each day shows the time you spent, the books you read and the words you kept - Reading rhythm: a gentle plan for each language — say, English on weekdays, 20 minutes. See it fill up in Today and across the week, with an optional reminder that opens the book you're reading. No streaks A PERSONAL VOCABULARY, WITH REVIEW - Save words and phrases together with the sentence you found them in - Categories, favorites and search - Review that goes through your whole vocabulary: every word comes up in turn, and the ones you missed come back a little sooner - Short sessions of up to ten words for each language — you only ever answer "Knew it" or "Didn't know" - Fresh words: what you saved in the last few days gets its own short session, all your languages together - An optional reminder the morning after you save words, at a time you choose - Hard words show how many times you didn't remember each one - Quiet statistics, no streaks - Saved words are gently underlined as you read, so what you've learned shows up in the text itself - Word hints: the translation of words you're still learning can appear right above them in the text, and disappears once you know the word COMFORTABLE READING - Book-style typesetting: justified text, chapter headings, and hyphenation that follows the language of the book - Page breaks: a quiet line about once a screen gives long chapters a rhythm - Six themes: four warm paper tones, a clean White, and E-reader — a calm gray screen with its own book typeface, Literata — plus a dark mode - Seven text sizes on top of the system setting - Tapping a book picks up right where you left off — straight to your last chapter, with the contents one swipe back - Reading Now keeps started books close at hand - In the PDF reader the page lies on paper, and one tap hides the panels ON IPAD - Translation appears in a small popover right next to the word, so the page stays readable around it - Your library, vocabulary and settings sit in a comfortable reading column on a large screen - PDFs in landscape fill the width of the screen and stay sharp; turning the iPad keeps your place SYNC AND PRIVACY - Your library and vocabulary sync across your devices through iCloud - Data lives in your private iCloud database; translation never leaves the device - No accounts, no ads, no tracking
