ContextCat helps you learn a language by reading things you actually want to read. Open a news story, a short article, a book or your own PDF. When a word stops you, tap it. You get a short explanation of what it means in that exact sentence, written in your own language. No switching apps, no guessing which dictionary meaning fits. TAP ANY WORD See the meaning that fits the sentence, the word type, and how the word is built. Select a few words to translate the whole phrase. LISTEN WHILE YOU READ Natural voices read the text aloud, sentence by sentence, and highlight where you are. Pause, go back a sentence, or slow it down. ASK ABOUT WHAT YOU READ Not sure what a paragraph means? Ask. Answers come from the text in front of you. You can also ask for a quick quiz to check you understood it. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY The Today tab brings short stories and news at your level, so there is always something fresh to read. WORDS THAT STAY WITH YOU Words you look up are saved for you. Study cards bring them back right before you would forget them, and you can watch the number of words you know grow. READ YOUR OWN THINGS Import PDFs, EPUB books and web articles. Everything you open stays in your library. JUST WANT TO READ? Choose reading only if you read in your own language and want help with long or tricky documents. You still get listening and questions about the text, without the study tools. Explanations come in your language, in any of the 39 the app supports. SUBSCRIPTION ContextCat is free to try. The free plan includes a limited number of explanations, imports and questions. Premium lifts these limits. - Choose a monthly or yearly plan. Both renew automatically. - Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. - Your plan renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. - Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

About

DeepReader

Features
Read full description

DeepReader is a text-to-speech application that converts various types of text into natural, fluent audio. It supports PDFs, web articles, photos, cloud documents, and more, allowing you to listen to content in different scenarios and freeing reading from the limitations of screens. We focus on delivering a high-quality speech synthesis experience, continuously refining pronunciation, intonation, and pauses so that AI narration sounds more natural and human-like, making it suitable for long listening sessions and repeated playback. The app offers a range of practical features, including online text-to-speech playback, voice preview, and PDF text recognition. You can listen online to preview the generated audio. If you wish to save content as audio files, character packages are available for purchase to enable audio generation and downloads. For users with reading difficulties, visual fatigue, or challenges with extended reading, DeepReader presents text through a combination of audio and visual support. This approach helps reduce reading strain and allows you to focus more on the content itself rather than the act of reading.
