About BookLight: Translate & Read
Reading a book in another language? Stop breaking your flow to look words up. BookLight translates any word with a single tap — and remembers it for you.
BookLight is a PDF & Txt & EPUB reader built for language learners. Tap a word for an instant translation, and it's saved to your vocabulary automatically. Then spaced-repetition flashcards bring it back right before you'd forget — so every reading session actually builds your vocabulary. No app-switching. No flashcards to make by hand. Perfect for language learners, foreign-book readers, and anyone studying for TOEFL or IELTS.
