BuRead: read and keep words
Articles, books, video, PDF
Free
Reading is the practice. Tap a word to see what it means in this exact sentence, and it comes back later inside a sentence you have already read.
BuRead is a reader for people learning a language by reading real things: articles, books and videos with subtitles. Tap a word to see what it means in this exact sentence. The words you tap come back later for review, inside sentences you have already read.
WHAT YOU CAN READ
• Articles: paste a link, and the page opens as clean text.
• Books: EPUB, with a paged mode and a table of contents.
• YouTube videos with subtitles: the transcript sits next to the video, and its words behave like words in a text.
• Add a link or an EPUB right from your iPhone or iPad, or save a page from your desktop browser with the Chrome extension.
WHILE YOU READ
• Tap a word: translation, pronunciation, and what it means in this particular sentence.
• Select a phrase: it is saved whole and broken down word by word.
• Give a word a status with one tap: 1, 2, 3, known, ignore. The marks show right in the text and fade as you learn.
• Every text shows what share of its words you already know, so you can pick by difficulty instead of guessing.
• Listen to any word or sentence.
YOUR WORDS
• One vocabulary across everything: a word learned in an article is recognised in a book and in video subtitles.
• Review in your own sentences: a word comes back inside the sentence where you met it, not on a bare card. A few minutes a day, and the intervals take care of themselves.
• See how many words you know and how it grows.
ONE ACCOUNT EVERYWHERE
