The vocabulary app problem
Most vocabulary apps start with someone else's word list.
Generic decks and daily-word apps can be useful, but they often miss the moment that made a word important. Learners collect vocabulary without the book, sentence, movie, or subtitle line that gave the word meaning.
TeakReader starts from real material. The words you study come from the books and subtitles you chose, so review stays connected to context.
Real source vocabulary
Learn words from books, movies, TV, and anime.
TeakReader keeps one vocabulary memory across EPUB books, Project Gutenberg classics, movie subtitles, TV episodes, and anime subtitle vocabulary.
A word learned from a book can help with a movie later. A word you mark while studying subtitles can count when it appears in a chapter.

Dictionary and translation
Look up words and translate hard sentences without leaving the flow.
Tap an unfamiliar word to see dictionary information, examples, related forms, and vocabulary controls. When the whole sentence is the problem, use sentence translation as reading support.
The goal is to stay with the material long enough for real vocabulary to become memorable.
