Summary
Readlang is a reading tool for language learners working with native-language content. Readers can click words or phrases in text and webpages for translations, then use contextual AI explanations to understand them. Collected translations can become flashcards using spaced repetition, with useful words prioritized. Reading material can come from articles, books, pasted text, uploaded files, or webpages imported through a browser extension or bookmarklet. Its video player supports full transcriptions, including transcripts users upload and sync with YouTube videos. A popup dictionary is available in the Web Reader, and the online eReader has a sidebar dictionary. Users can export collected words and phrases to Anki. Readlang lists web, Android, iOS, and extension platforms, but says it has no native mobile apps; the web app can be added to a mobile device’s home screen. The free plan allows unlimited single-word translations, but limits phrase translations to 10 per day and contextual explanations to 10 per day. Premium is $6 per month or $48 per year.
