Wonderline: Read English

Wonderline is a reading and vocabulary app that helps you build the ability to read English as English — without relying on full translation. If you let AI translate the whole thing, you understand it for now. But that habit never makes you a reader. Wonderline supports the opposite habit: look up only the words and phrases you don't know, grasp their meaning, and read the rest yourself. BRING IN ENGLISH FROM ANYWHERE - Camera / Photos: shoot a page of a printed book and read it (text recognition) - PDF: read cases, papers, and e-books as they are - Link: extract and read the main text of a web article by URL - Paste: read copied English text directly - Audio / Video: transcribe files on your device and read them LOOK UP ONLY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW Tap a word to see its meaning. Switch between Japanese and English-to-English definitions; English definitions let you grasp concepts directly. Select a phrase to see its translation, and hear pronunciation. CAPTURE BY VOICE When an unfamiliar word comes up while reading, just press and hold the screen and say it. Captured words collect in your Words list. WORKS WITH WORDSLINE (OPTIONAL) Send only the words you choose to the review app Wordsline (nothing is sent automatically). PRICING Most features are free to try for 30 days.
