Learn languages by reading with parallel translation

Smart Book is a bilingual ebook reader that shows the original text and its translation side by side, so you learn languages by reading the books and stories you love. Long-tap any word, sentence, paragraph or whole chapter for an instant, context-aware translation while reading — and switch between Google Translate, DeepL, Reverso Context, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Yandex in a single tap.

Read from a free built-in library of bilingual stories, or load your own FB2, EPUB and TXT books, and even import .SRT subtitles as parallel text. Save unfamiliar words together with their context to a personal dictionary for spaced-repetition review, and export them to Anki or ReWord. Listen to native-speaker and AI pronunciation, or turn a whole chapter into audio.

Smart Book is free to use, supports around 100 languages, and is available on iOS and Android. Optional PRO (one-time) and MAX (subscription) plans unlock contextual AI translation and custom AI actions, and you can always bring your own API key.
