The reading problem
Books build vocabulary, but repeated lookups break the flow.
Reading real English gives you grammar, phrasing, and vocabulary in context. The hard part is staying with the story when every unknown word sends you to another app, another tab, or a separate notebook.
TeakReader keeps the lookup, translation, vocabulary decision, and review path inside the reading experience, so a difficult sentence can become a study moment without ending the session.
Shared vocabulary memory
TeakReader remembers what you know across every book and subtitle.
The important difference is not just that TeakReader can define a word. It remembers your vocabulary decisions across books, EPUBs, Project Gutenberg classics, movies, and TV subtitles.
When you mark a word as Known, Learning, or Ignored, that knowledge becomes part of your larger English profile. The next book or show can be easier to judge because TeakReader can surface what is still unknown and most worth studying.
Known Learning Ignored Unknown
How it works
Read first, then study the words that actually appeared.
TeakReader connects the reading habit and the review habit, so your vocabulary list comes from sentences you already met.
Tap unfamiliar words
Open definitions, translations, phonetics, examples, and related forms without leaving the page.
Mark what you know
Save words as Known, Learning, or Ignored so TeakReader can remember your vocabulary across media.
Study what is still unknown
Use frequency-ranked word lists, CEFR stats, and flashcards to focus on words that matter next.
Book sources
Start with classics or bring your own EPUBs.
Use included books, search public-domain titles from Project Gutenberg, or import an EPUB you already want to read. Every source feeds the same dictionary, vocabulary, analytics, and flashcard flow.
