Urim & Thummim turns scripture study into language learning. Read the Book of Mormon and the standard works in any of 14 languages, and tap any word to see what it means in the language you choose — instantly, offline, with no account required. READ IN 14 LANGUAGES Read in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, or Hindi. Switch your reading language and your definition language independently — read in Japanese and define in Spanish, or any other pairing. TAP ANY WORD Every word is tappable. Tap it and a clean definition appears in your chosen language — proper names, verbs, everyday vocabulary, and more. For Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese, words are intelligently segmented so you tap the whole word, not a single character. SAVE AND STUDY Save the words you want to remember. Study them with flashcards and quizzes backed by spaced repetition, so you review each word right before you would forget it. Track your streak and watch your vocabulary grow. A DAILY HABIT A rotating daily reading and a weekly reading strip make it easy to build a habit — with a gentle optional reminder and a celebration when you read every day of the week. BUILT FOR FOCUS A calm, dark design made for reading. No ads. No tracking. No account. Your saved words and progress stay on your device. Scripture texts are provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
