The fastest way to translate a word in a real book. No switching apps, no losing your place, no typing.
The single biggest friction in reading in a foreign language is stopping to look up a word. Open dictionary, type the word (hope you spelled it right), tap translate, flip back, remember where you were.
Tap-to-translate collapses all of that into one tap. Literally one tap on the word. The translation appears next to it. Tap the book to continue. Total time: under a second.
Versus typing: Typing breaks reading flow. Tap doesn't. Research on extensive reading shows that frequent interruptions destroy comprehension.
Versus dictionaries: Dictionaries give you all meanings. Lingible gives you the meaning that fits the sentence — because the AI reads the context.
Versus browser hover-translate: Those only work on web pages. Lingible works on any EPUB, PDF, or book you own.
Yes, on every word in the 40+ supported source languages.
Yes — select a phrase and Lingible translates it and can explain grammar or idioms.
Single-word lookups use a dictionary + translation models. Multi-word and grammar explanations use AI.
