Wen Reader

Built out of a genuine love for learning Chinese, Wen Reader gives intermediate readers a clean, modern way to read native-level books while getting context-aware dictionary definitions with a simple long-press.

Import your own EPUBs, read with great typography, and stay fully offline.

Features:

• EPUB Import & Smooth Reading: open standard EPUB files from Files, with fast pagination powered by Readium and adjustable margins, fonts, and line spacing.
• Instant Dictionary Pop-Ups: long-press any Chinese text to see an inline definition panel using offline CC-CEDICT data.
• Lightweight On-Device ML: context-aware word boundary segmentation and dictionary definition ranking.
• Context & Sharing Tools: quickly copy the selected word, sentence, or paragraph, or send text to Pleco or ChatGPT (when installed) for deeper explanation.
• Simple, Focused Navigation: tap the book title to browse the table of contents, and Wen Reader automatically saves your reading position as you go.
