About WordLeaf: Reading Companion
WordLeaf helps readers ages 13 and up explore English words and read pages at their own pace. Designed for iPad and fully usable on iPhone. WORD: DISCOVER A MEANING Type or say a word to explore English definitions, pronunciation and examples. Ask for simpler wording where available, then save useful words for later. READ: BRING YOUR OWN PAGE Photograph a page, import a photo, or paste text. Automatic page detection can focus on a complete page beside a partly photographed neighbor. Tap words without losing your place. On a wide iPad, keep word help beside the passage or hide it for a full-width reading view. LISTEN AND FOLLOW Natural English voices are included for offline use on supported physical devices, with Apple speech as a fallback. Follow highlighted words, pause and resume, drag the reading progress bar to choose a word, and select a slower or faster reading speed. SAVE AND PRACTICE Build a personal word collection and revisit it with short review questions. Separate local reader profiles keep each reader's saved words and preferences together. Adjust reading text size to suit you. ENGLISH FIRST English definitions stay visible when optional translations are enabled. A focused offline reading collection covers 10,000 words with short definitions and checked examples where available, alongside the full attributed open reference dictionary and original draft definitions. Numbered meanings help you choose the sense that fits. Default filtering hides identified explicit or graphic meanings; it cannot identify every mature topic. ON-DEVICE BY DESIGN Reader photos, voice input, profiles and saved words stay on your device. No WordLeaf account, advertising or third-party analytics. Optional generated explanations require iOS/iPadOS 26 or later on an Apple Intelligence-compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled and ready. Optional translations prefer installed language packs, with one-time setup when needed and supported on-device AI as a fallback. The core offline dictionary works without Apple Intelligence. 14 DAYS TO EXPLORE Open WordLeaf and start using it immediately with 14 free days from first launch.
