EPUB reading with vocabulary built in

EPUB reader with a built-in dictionary for English learners

TeakReader turns EPUB books into a vocabulary system. Import a book, tap unfamiliar words, translate sentences, track what you know, and review real words from the pages you read.

The EPUB problem

Most EPUB readers make vocabulary study feel separate from reading.

A normal EPUB reader may let you select text or look up a word. For English learners, that still often means switching between a book, dictionary, translator, notes app, and flashcard app.

That switching breaks the reading flow, and saved words can lose the original sentence that made them worth learning.

Built-in dictionary

Tap a word and keep your place in the book.

TeakReader keeps dictionary lookup close to the sentence that created the question. Tap a word to see definitions, phonetics, examples, related forms, and vocabulary controls without leaving the reading experience.

Mark words as Known, Learning, or Ignored so the app can remember what belongs in your study path and what can stay out of the way.

Known Learning Ignored Unknown

Sentence translation

Translate difficult sentences without leaving the page.

When a full sentence is the hard part, TeakReader supports word and sentence translation inside the reading flow. It is there for tricky passages, not as a replacement for reading.

Translation usage is subject to the limits of your free or premium plan, so heavy readers can choose the level that fits their study rhythm.

Reading analytics

See which chapters are ready to read and which words are still unknown.

For processed books, TeakReader can show chapter-level comprehension, unique words, unknown-word counts, and Study buttons. Use that signal to choose a chapter, study before reading, or review after reading.

Book sources

Import your own EPUBs or start with public-domain classics.

Bring a personal EPUB into TeakReader, search Project Gutenberg for public-domain classics, or start with included books. Every source feeds the same dictionary, analytics, and flashcard workflow.

TeakReader is an EPUB reader. It does not support Kindle formats, DRM-locked files, PDFs, MOBI, or AZW.

Cross-media memory

Your EPUB vocabulary can help with movies and TV subtitles too.

TeakReader keeps one vocabulary memory across EPUBs, Project Gutenberg books, movies, and TV subtitles. A word learned while reading can count later when studying subtitle vocabulary.

If you also want to learn English with movie subtitles, your reading study and subtitle study can build on each other.

Language learner fit

A different kind of EPUB reader for language learners.

TeakReader is product-led reading software: it helps you read and remember, with lookup, translation, vocabulary memory, analytics, and flashcards connected to the book itself.

Generic EPUB readers

Good for reading comfort, but vocabulary study often moves into separate dictionaries, translators, and notes.

Dictionary apps

Useful for definitions, but they usually do not know which book, chapter, or sentence created the question.

Standalone flashcards

Helpful for review, but imported word lists can lose the reading context that made the word memorable.

TeakReader

Combines EPUB reading, lookup, translation, vocabulary memory, analytics, and flashcards in one learning flow.
