When stuck on an unfamiliar word or phrase, learners can quickly select or drag to select and translate. In the translation sidebar, they can also save the selected vocabulary to review later.
Unlike other ebook platforms, learners can translate not only words but long phrases and view their closest translation in context, as well as their grammar tense. To better understand how the word is used in other contexts, there are examples provided which are extracted from other books in the platform. By suggesting recommendations in the form of examples, learners can save these materials to read later and reinforce their vocabulary through repeated exposure.
In Bilingual mode, learners can hover and see the corresponding translated sentence on the right side of the screen. Translation is still available as a popup modal when clicking on a word or dragging over a phrase.
Learners can easily review words and phrases they have saved through interactive flashcards with example sentences from the original book.
