iRead: Translate & Learn

Tap a book and you're back on your line: iRead opens your last chapter right where you left off, with the books you've started waiting in Reading Now.

iRead is a calm reader for people learning a language through real texts. Bring in a book or an article in the language you're learning, read at your own pace, translate unfamiliar words with a tap, and keep them in a personal vocabulary.

READ ANYTHING • Books in FB2 (including fb2.zip), EPUB, and TXT • Articles and notes in Markdown • PDFs — select text right on the page • Pages of paper books — take a photo and the text is recognized automatically • Pasted text and anything shared from other apps

TRANSLATION WITHOUT THE INTERNET • Translation runs on your device — fast and private • Any pair of system-supported languages: you choose what you read and what you translate into • Language packs download once; after that everything works offline

A PERSONAL VOCABULARY, WITH REVIEW • Save words and phrases together with the sentence you found them in • Categories, favorites, and search • Spaced repetition: short card sessions, separate for each language • Quiet statistics, no streaks: total words, added this week, mastered • Saved words are gently underlined as you read, so what you've learned shows up in the text itself

COMFORTABLE READING • Book-style typesetting: justified text, hyphenation, chapter headings • Four warm paper themes and a dark mode • Seven text sizes on top of the system setting • Tapping a book picks up right where you left off — straight to your last chapter, with the contents one swipe back • A Reading Now section at the top of your library keeps started books close at hand

SYNC AND PRIVACY • Your library and vocabulary sync across your devices through iCloud • Data lives in your private iCloud database; translation never leaves the device
