Overview

Context Reader gives you instant, context-aware translations — right where you're reading.

Unlike a dictionary that gives you every possible meaning, Context Reader analyzes the sentence around the word and gives you the ONE meaning that fits what you're actually reading. Translated into your language.

10 SUPPORTED LANGUAGES:
Hindi, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Russian

Choose your language during setup or change it anytime in Settings.

PERFECT FOR:
- International grad students reading research papers in English
- Medical, law, and engineering students working through dense academic texts
- Immigrant professionals navigating workplace documents
- Anyone reading English content who wants definitions in their native language

FEATURES:

Context-Aware Definitions
Every definition is tailored to what you're reading. "Bank" in a finance article gives you the financial meaning, not the river bank. Translated naturally into your language.

Multiple Learning Modes
- Main View: Context-specific translation and definition
- More Details: Scenario, dialogue, and story set in the same world as your reading
- General Mode: Traditional dictionary-style definition with multiple uses
- Simple Mode: Super-simple explanation like a friend would give

Audio Pronunciation
Hear English words pronounced with dictionary audio or Google pronunciation.

Save Words
Build your personal vocabulary list (up to 500 words). Save words with their definitions and export to CSV anytime.

PDF Reader
Open any PDF (web or local) in the built-in reader with full text selection support. Perfect for research papers and academic reading.
