Wisteria — read, listen & translate two languages side by side
You don't become fluent by memorizing phrases about ordering coffee. You become fluent by reading things you actually care about — the news, the novels, the stories that keep you turning pages. Wisteria turns any text into a bilingual lesson, so the content you love becomes the way you learn.
READ WHAT YOU WANT, IN 23+ LANGUAGES
Break free from pre-packaged lessons. Import articles from websites, paste text directly, or upload PDFs and EPUB e-books. Spanish news, Japanese novels, Korean web fiction, French literature — if it interests you, you can learn from it.
UNDERSTAND EVERY SENTENCE, IN CONTEXT
Read with precise sentence-by-sentence translation and synchronized highlighting. As each sentence lights up in both languages, you see exactly what every phrase means — without losing your place or breaking the flow of the story. Navigate with swipe gestures or the sentence slider.
TRANSLATE YOUR WAY
• Offline: on-device ML Kit models work with no internet — perfect for flights and commutes
• Online: free translation at no cost
• Premium: connect your own Google Cloud API key for enhanced accuracy
Every translation is cached, so your favorite content stays readable offline.
TRAIN YOUR EAR WITH DUAL AUDIO
Hear the original and the translation read aloud, each with independent speed controls. Slow the source language down while you build listening skills, then speed it up as you improve. Autoplay mode turns your commute or workout into hands-free immersion. Use your device's built-in voices offline, or connect Google Cloud Text-to-Speech for natural-sounding narration.
YOUR PERSONAL GRAMMAR TUTOR
Connect your Google Cloud API key to unlock AI sentence analysis: detailed breakdowns of sentence structure, parts of speech, verb conjugations, and patterns. It's like having a tutor on call, 24/7 — for exactly the sentences that confuse you.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Wisteria is offline-first and privacy-first:
• Reading history and translations stored only on your device
• No analytics, no tracking, no ads
• API keys encrypted and never leave your device
• Works completely offline with on-device translation and TTS
