- The translation pen briefly overlays Turkish on English PDF text, then lets the translated ink disappear without leaving a mark.
Field notes
The homepage describes a three-step workflow: read a PDF, mark a passage to make a card, then return to the material when its topic is due for review. Its translation pen temporarily places translated text over the original and relies on a language pack downloaded through iOS settings. The site identifies PDF support as available in the trial and says the card and translation pens are not yet supported in notes.
