## What is Polylingo?

Read in a foreign language — without the frustration.

PolyLingo turns reading into your most powerful language learning tool. Tap any word for an instant translation. Listen to native-quality narration with every word highlighted as it's spoken. Save vocabulary to your personal phrase book. And when you run out of things to read, let AI write a story just for you.

INSTANT TAP-TO-TRANSLATE
Tap any word or select a phrase to see its meaning instantly. No copying, no switching apps. Translations include pronunciation (IPA), part of speech, and conjugation info — powered by offline dictionaries that work without Wi-Fi.

AUDIO NARRATION WITH WORD HIGHLIGHTING
Listen to stories read aloud with professional-quality audio. Every word highlights in sync as it's spoken, so you train your ears and eyes at the same time. Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x. Perfect for commutes, workouts, or winding down.

AI-POWERED STORIES AT YOUR LEVEL
Choose your genre, difficulty level, and interests — PolyLingo generates a complete story tailored to you. Pick from narrative, conversational, descriptive, poetic, or simple writing styles. Every story matches your CEFR level (A1 to C1) so you're always in the sweet spot: challenged but never lost.

YOUR PERSONAL PHRASE BOOK
Save any word or phrase with one tap while reading. Every entry keeps its context, source, pronunciation, and translation. Review your vocabulary anytime and watch your word count grow day by day.

CURATED LIBRARY + YOUR OWN BOOKS
Browse stories organized by difficulty, genre, and language. Import your own EPUB, PDF, or text files. Filter by CEFR level (A1–C2) to find content that matches exactly where you are.

10 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED
Learn English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or Russian — from 6 home languages.

DESIGNED FOR COMFORTABLE READING
Choose between Dark, Light, and Sepia themes. Adjust font size. Read in immersive fullscreen mode. Your reading position and audio progress are always saved — pick up right where you left off.

POLYLINGO PRO
Unlock unlimited AI story generation, advanced phrase book features, and cross-device sync with a free 3-day trial.

Whether you're a beginner sounding out your first sentences or an advanced learner tackling literature, PolyLingo meets you where you are — and makes every page count.
