Stay in the story. Learn the words along the way. Learn Chinese, Japanese, Korean and more from comics, podcasts, captioned YouTube videos, books, and your own uploads. Tap a word for its reading and meaning. Save it with the sentence it came from. Review it later, without building flashcards by hand. Real content can be hard at first. But you don't have to know every word to start enjoying it. Lexirise puts help where you need it, so one unknown word doesn't end your reading session. READ ANOTHER CHAPTER Read manga, manhua, and webtoons with tappable text. See pinyin, furigana, and word meanings without switching to a dictionary. Bring your own books, PDFs, comics, text, and audio too. HEAR THE WORDS YOU'RE READING Follow podcasts with interactive transcripts. Tap a word as you hear it, check the meaning, and keep listening. Watch captioned YouTube videos with word lookup in the app. SAVE THE WORD, NOT JUST THE TRANSLATION Keep useful words with their source sentence, reading, and audio. Sort them into decks and tags, or export them to Anki. Your collection comes from things you chose to read and hear. REMEMBER WHAT YOU MEET Short spaced-repetition reviews bring words back when they need practice. Use reading, typing, and listening modes, or build a study session from your own material. TAKE IT INTO A CONVERSATION Practice speaking with guided missions and feedback. Live Transcript helps you follow conversations and lessons, look up words, and return to saved transcripts. KEEP GOING, WHEREVER YOU ARE Download supported material and reviews for offline study. Track reading, listening, reviews, and streaks. Add a Study Today widget, join the weekly League, or study with friends in a Study Circle. Your words and progress sync across iPhone, iPad, and the web. The included Safari extension adds lookup tools to supported websites. Lexirise is for learners who want to spend more time with the language they love, not follow a fixed course of canned lessons. Start free. Pick a comic or podcast, then tap the first word you don't know. Optional Pro plans unlock higher limits and advanced tools, including speaking practice and Live Transcript.
