Learn languages through art, literature, cinema and stories β€” not textbook filler. AnyText adapts meaningful reading to your CEFR level, lets you tap any word for meaning, and helps you build vocabulary in context. Every day brings six fresh pieces of content, each rewritten at six CEFR levels β€” from complete beginner (A1) to fluent (C2) β€” so the exact same material grows with you: β€’ A news story β€’ A painting, with the story behind it β€’ A film worth knowing β€’ A book worth knowing β€’ A quote from history β€’ A moment from history, "on this day" Tap any word, in any text, to see what it means in your own language β€” no dictionary app, no switching screens. READ WHOLE BOOKS Beyond the daily pages, the Library holds full classic novels β€” Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, Notes from Underground, The Call of the Wild and more β€” each rewritten at every CEFR level, with the original illustrations. REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARN Save any word you look up, then review it later with spaced repetition β€” reviews are scheduled automatically so words actually stick. YOUR LEVEL, YOUR PACE Slide between six CEFR levels (A1–C2) any time, on any page. Start wherever you are; move up whenever you're ready. Available in Turkish, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch β€” pick any language to read in, and any language to translate into. Any Text includes a 14-day free trial, then continues with a subscription (monthly, 6-month or annual). Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Built by a single independent developer who reads too much, and wanted an app that treats language learners like adults.
