TeakReader
TeakReader helps learners build English vocabulary through EPUB books, public-domain classics, and movie, TV, or anime subtitles.
What TeakReader is
TeakReader helps learners build English vocabulary through EPUB books, public-domain classics, and movie, TV, or anime subtitles. It is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. Tapping a word can show phonetics, parts of speech, examples, related forms, and a translation in the reader. For processed books and subtitle sets, the app can report comprehension, CEFR-level vocabulary, and unknown words ranked by frequency. Practice includes FSRS spaced-repetition flashcards and the Meaning Match and Spelling Forge games. Users can search more than 75,000 Project Gutenberg classics. Guest users can use core tools, including imports, subtitle study, vocabulary tracking, translation, and flashcard review, within free usage limits. Loaded books can be read offline, but imports, subtitle processing, lookups, and translations require internet access. EPUB files up to 50 MB are supported, and uploaded books go to TeakReader's server for processing. Subtitle analysis covers vocabulary but does not stream or play video. Premium plans cost $3.99 a month, $18.99 a year, or 19.99 USD once for lifetime benefits.
