## What is ReadPilot?

The slow part of an English textbook is rarely a single word. It is the page that takes half an hour to look up, and the chapter you have forgotten by the time you reach the next one. ReadPilot turns the English textbooks and paper PDFs you import into Chinese you can actually keep reading, one chapter at a time: paragraphs connect, figures stay where they were, and a technical term is translated the same way from the first chapter to the last. When you want to check a passage, tap it and the English original is right there.

After importing, you see the whole book's chapter structure and start from the chapter you need. When you finish a chapter, Pro turns it into a quiz and flashcards, so review before an exam needs no separate notes. It works for any field that relies on English textbooks: medicine, law, engineering, economics, psychology and more. On first launch you can read a built-in sample chapter (psychology or anatomy) before importing your own file.

Features:
• The whole book's chapter structure; start from any chapter
• A Chinese reading view; tap a paragraph to see the English original
• Figures kept in place; tables shown as the original page image
• A glossary that stays consistent across chapters
• Highlight a paragraph with one tap
• Pro: chapter quizzes, flashcards and text recognition for scanned books

Plans are counted in pages. Only pages that translate successfully count toward your allowance, and pages you have already translated can be reread without limit:
• Free: 40 pages a month
• Standard: 400 pages a month
• Pro: 1,200 pages a month

Subscriptions are available monthly or yearly; the price shown at purchase is the price you pay. They renew automatically unless you cancel before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings, and restore earlier purchases inside the app.

Your PDF stays on your device. Only the page content that needs AI translation is sent for processing when you ask for it. AI translation can contain errors, so check important numbers and conclusions against the original. Translation requires an internet connection. Import only content you have the right to use.
