Lichtung Turns Any Reading Into a Language Lesson
A vocabulary-aware reader highlights known and unfamiliar words across webpages and imported ebooks, then supplies translations, dictionaries, and read-aloud support.
Field notes
The system applies vocabulary states directly to webpages and imported EPUB, TXT, or DRM-free MOBI books, so reading material can be evaluated against the learner’s existing word knowledge. Its dictionary path is unusually explicit: users can import StarDict files such as FreeDict or Wiktionary extracts, or type definitions themselves, while the reader also retains book position and reports the share of words that are new. Audio playback and hands-free auto-play extend the workflow beyond visual lookup.
