About VocaReader: Learn by Reading
VocaReader helps you learn a language by reading books you enjoy.
Made in Bern, Switzerland. Your data stays on European servers and the flashcards are made with Mistral AI from France.
Tap a word you don't know and VocaReader makes a flashcard from the sentence you are reading: the translation, an example and a short hint. You learn the word in its real context, so it sticks.
Start right away: pick one of the free classics in English, French, Spanish or Italian, or open your own EPUB (DRM-free only).
What you get:
• Read books in the language you learn, with your own font and size
• Tap any word: translation, example and pronunciation in a second
• Your flashcard words are highlighted while you read, by how well you know them
• A short daily training: the words that are due first, then new ones
• See your vocabulary grow: new, learning, familiar, known
• Works offline; cards saved without internet are completed later
How it works:
1. Open a book
2. Tap the words you don't know and add them to your flashcards
3. Practise a few minutes a day
4. Read on and see the words become familiar
