Bilingual Reader turns any text into a hands-free language lesson. Paste an article, a book excerpt, a recipe, anything you want to read — and the app reads it back to you sentence by sentence, first in the original language, then in your chosen translation. It's the fastest way to build vocabulary and listening comprehension at the same time, using real content you actually care about. HOW IT WORKS Paste your text on the main screen. The app automatically detects the source language. Choose which language you want to hear the translation in from a list of 65 supported languages. Tap Start Reading and let the app take over. For each sentence, you will hear it spoken in the original language, then immediately hear the translation. Visual cards on screen highlight which language is currently being read so you can follow along at a glance. FEATURES Automatic language detection — no need to specify what language your text is in 65 supported languages for translation and audio playback Independent speed control for each language — set the original between 0.5x and 2x, and the translation separately, so you can slow down for a language you are still learning while keeping your native language at normal speed Play, pause, skip forward, and skip backward between sentences Background audio — keeps playing while your phone is locked or when you switch to another app, so you can listen on a walk or during a commute Your target language and speed preferences are saved and restored automatically WHO IT IS FOR Bilingual Reader is built for language learners, students, travelers, immigrants, and anyone who wants to absorb a second language naturally through listening. It works especially well with news articles, blog posts, and short stories. Privacy: Bilingual Reader does not collect or store any text you enter. All translation and text-to-speech is processed through Google Translate's public API and no data is retained on our servers.
