## What is Readence?

Readence — English Original Reading Companion
Reading original English books is not difficult because of every unfamiliar word.
The real challenge is understanding the right meaning in context, following complex sentences, and keeping the ideas that truly matter.
Readence helps you read English originals naturally — understand faster, keep reading, and turn meaningful discoveries into lasting knowledge.

1. Understand words in their real context
A word can have many meanings, but only one fits the sentence you are reading.
Tap any word to view definitions, pronunciation, and the original context. AI can also analyze the sentence and explain why a specific meaning fits here.
Instead of memorizing endless dictionary entries, understand what the word actually means in the story.

2. Understand complex sentences without translating word by word
Long sentences often become difficult because of structure, not vocabulary.
Readence breaks sentences into meaningful chunks, showing the core structure, relationships between phrases, and how the sentence is built.
Follow the author’s original thinking instead of translating every word.

3. Save insights while reading, organize them later
Great ideas often appear when you are deeply focused on reading.
With Readence, save important sentences, expressions, and ideas instantly without interrupting your reading flow.
After finishing a chapter or a book, organize your saved content with AI-generated mind maps. Review, edit, move, and refine your knowledge structure at your own pace.

Read the books you love. Get help when you need it. Keep the ideas worth remembering.
