## Description

Say any unfamiliar word out loud and keep reading. BookWord finds the definition, reads it aloud, and saves it to your personal glossary—without leaving your book.

Meet the dictionary designed to disappear into your reading.

Start a reading session, say any unfamiliar word out loud, and BookWord immediately finds its definition. Keep your eyes on the book while BookWord reads the meaning aloud, or glance at the screen when you are ready.

HOW IT WORKS
• Open BookWord and start a reading session.
• Say one unfamiliar word at a time.
• See its definition, examples, and useful related senses.
• Hear the primary definition read aloud.
• Return to saved words in your personal glossary.

MADE FOR UNINTERRUPTED READING
• A voice-first dictionary that keeps you inside the story
• A bundled offline dictionary
• Recent words saved locally on your iPhone
• Search by typing whenever you prefer
• 14 light and dark reading themes
• Simple controls for spoken definitions, auto-resume, and screen-awake behavior

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
BookWord listens only while the app is open and a reading session is active. Listening can be paused at any time. Audio is not saved. BookWord requires no account and includes no ads, analytics, tracking, or backend service.
