SmartBook turns any book into a dual-language reading experience. Read Spanish, Italian, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, English and many more languages with the original text and its translation side by side, and learn languages naturally through the stories you actually want to read.
WHY SMARTBOOK
- Bilingual, side-by-side reading: the original and its translation together in one parallel-text view.
- Tap to translate: tap any word or phrase for an instant translation and a word definition, right on the page.
- Context examples: see how the word you tapped is used in real sentences.
- AI translation: translation that takes the surrounding context into account.
- Automatic paragraph translation: switch it on and the translation of each paragraph appears as you read.
- Word and phrase pronunciation: tap a word or phrase to hear it read aloud (text-to-speech).
- Your vocabulary: save words and phrases with their context, then export the list as CSV or TXT or send it to a flashcard app.
- A library of 75,000+ books: create folders, rate books, and filter, sort and search to find the right book for your level.
- Your own books: open EPUB (with images), FB2 and TXT files.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a book from the built-in library or add your own.
2. Read in parallel: the original and the translation stay side by side.
3. Tap any word or phrase to translate it and hear how it sounds.
4. Save the words you want to remember.
LEARN BY READING
Learn Spanish, Italian, French, German or Russian by reading real books. Start with short stories, move on to novels in the original, and let your vocabulary grow page by page, with the translation always one tap away.
PERFECT FOR
- Language learners who want to read real books, not only textbook drills.
- Bilingual readers and polyglots who like to follow the original and the translation together.
- Anyone who wants to read foreign texts without switching between apps and dictionaries.
Some features require a subscription or an in-app purchase: paragraph translation, the choice of translation engines, AI translation, automatic paragraph translation, context examples, vocabulary export and premium books.

This app is an absolute gem for language learners! The side-by-side reading and instant translation are incredibly smooth. What impressed me the most was the developer's amazing customer service. When I had a small question about the pronunciation, they replied to my email almost instantly and provided the perfect solution. Highly recommend to anyone learning a new language! Five stars!
