Readwise vs Twaddle

Readwise helps you get the most out of what you read by making it fun & easy to revisit your highlights from all your favorite reading platforms in one place. Quickly synchronize your highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Instapaper, Pocket, Medium, Goodreads, and even paper books. Then start building a daily review habit using the app and daily email. By reviewing your highlights every day, you'll retain dramatically more and you'll finally stop forgetting all the details from books you just finished! --- “Readwise is my favorite new service this year. Save highlights from Kindle, Instapaper, and now tweets... one of the best long-term personal learning tools I’ve come across.” — Caleb Hicks “Besides my Kindle, Readwise has been the most influential tech for improving my reading process.” — Blake Reichmann “If you use Kindle or Instapaper or just enjoy keeping and reading highlights, please sign up to Readwise. It will become one of your cherished services.” — Christopher Galtenberg --- ACTUALLY USE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS Highlighting is great, but why bother if you're never going to see any of your highlights again? Readwise makes it easy to quickly liberate all your highlights into one place, ensuring that you'll actually see and use them, including highlights from: • Amazon Kindle • Apple iBooks • Instapaper • Pocket • Medium • Goodreads • Twitter • Physical Books (using OCR) • Manual Input • CSV Upload STOP FORGETTING WHAT YOU READ How often do you finish a book, only to forget the key ideas two weeks later? We don't remember things by just reading them once. Readwise solves this problem using scientifically proven learning techniques called Spaced Repetition and Active Recall. Readwise resurfaces the right highlights at the right times using a daily email and an app. Readwise even makes it possible to convert your best highlights into flashcards for added retention. TAG, NOTE, SEARCH, AND ORGANIZE With your highlights all in one place, Readwise enables you to organize and connect these ideas in new ways. Use search to find a highlight instantly; use tag to organize highlights within your library; use notes to add your own annotations. HIGHLIGHT PAPER BOOKS Readwise also makes it possible to take highlights from your physical books and papers using your phone’s camera. Just snap a pic, highlight with your finger, and have your favorite highlights saved forever. --- If you are not already a Readwise subscriber, you can get started immediately with a 30-day free trial with no credit card upfront.

Master the language — not just a language app. Real conversations don’t come with subtitles, multiple-choice answers, or hints. Hear it. Use it. Understand it. Twaddle prepares you for the conversations you’ll actually have by putting serious emphasis on the skills that matter most: understanding native speakers and being understood when you speak. Designed for speed, down to every little detail. - Move through flashcards without waiting for unnecessary flip animations. - Skip exercises you don’t want to do. - Adjust audio playback speed to find the right balance between comprehension and speed. - Tell Twaddle which words that you already know so it doesn’t waste time teaching them again. No more wasting time with endless questions before you even get to try out the lessons. Our onboarding takes THREE TAPS, with NO LOGIN REQUIRED to test out our lessons. Use it or lose it. Twaddle has you putting new words into your own sentences from Day 1 to help commit them to memory. Every Twaddle lesson is built around a realistic conversation, with the context clearly marked as formal or informal. Twaddle breaks each conversation down piece by piece so you can learn the words, understand what you’re hearing, and practice saying it yourself. Because recognizing a word on a screen isn’t the same as recognizing it when someone actually says it. And knowing the answer isn’t much help if nobody can understand your pronunciation. Our units are also paired with an optional grammar lesson that is relevant to the content of the lesson, and tailored to the specific native+target language combination that you are using. This could help a native Chinese speaker avoid COMMON MISTAKES when speaking English, for example. Search for what you want. Our lessons are tagged - so, for example, if you just feel like learning the future tense today, just type it in and Twaddle pulls up the relevant lessons. AI powered pronunciation feedback (credits required) gives you feedback PER-WORD, and audio clips allow you to directly compare how you sounded verses the native voice. Tracks your mastery - Twaddle tracks how well you know each word, and uses SRS (Spaced Repetition System) to know when it’s time for you to study a flashcard again. - Twaddle Pro users get a progress view showing their projected mastery over time, and how much faster they could potentially gain mastery if they spent X more minutes studying per day. - Twaddle knows what you were last learning, so if you need to leave mid-lesson, you can pick back up right where you left off. Accommodates beginner, intermediate and advanced learners. - Indicate your knowledge level during onboarding, and Twaddle sends you to the roadmap best suited to your current needs. You can easily switch to another one later if you need to.
