- Worth noticing
- Marking up to three separate words prompts individual explanations; four or more marked words switch the result to a sentence translation.
Field notes
The described workflow preserves ordinary book reading: underline text, photograph the page, and review the detected items. Its marking rule separates individual vocabulary help from sentence-level translation, while the feature list also names IPA pronunciation, example sentences, page summaries, grammar checking, and quizzes. The homepage is bilingual, and app-store availability is labeled “Coming soon.”
