An open-source graded reader where language learners read level-adjusted stories, tap words for translations, hear narration, and discuss each page with a voice tutor.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

Sotto combines graded reading with a spoken follow-up: learners choose a language and level, read a short adapted book, tap words for translations, hear narration, and discuss the same page with a voice tutor. The homepage demonstrates the format with a French A2 chapter and glosses “adapté” as “graded: rewritten at your level.” It identifies the books as machine-adapted drafts whose levels are estimates, while keeping reading, listening, and translation free without an account.
