Read in a foreign language — without the frustration.
PolyLingo turns reading into your most powerful language learning tool. Tap any word for an instant translation. Listen to native-quality narration with every word highlighted as it's spoken. Save vocabulary to your personal phrase book. And when you run out of things to read, let AI write a story just for you.
INSTANT TAP-TO-TRANSLATE
Tap any word or select a phrase to see its meaning instantly. No copying, no switching apps. Translations include pronunciation (IPA), part of speech, and conjugation info — powered by offline dictionaries that work without Wi-Fi.
AUDIO NARRATION WITH WORD HIGHLIGHTING
Listen to stories read aloud with professional-quality audio. Every word highlights in sync as it's spoken, so you train your ears and eyes at the same time. Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x. Perfect for commutes, workouts, or winding down.
AI-POWERED STORIES AT YOUR LEVEL
Choose your genre, difficulty level, and interests — PolyLingo generates a complete story tailored to you. Pick from narrative, conversational, descriptive, poetic, or simple writing styles. Every story matches your CEFR level (A1 to C1) so you're always in the sweet spot: challenged but never lost.
