English Intensive Reading

Don't let a sentence's meaning stay a guess.

Paste in the English you want to read, and on-device AI analyzes its structure — subject, verb, object, modifiers, and clause connections — then prepares a translation, pronunciation practice, a vocabulary list, and a comprehension check. Unlike a translation app that just hands you a Japanese sentence, this app helps you understand why it means what it means, from grammatical structure.

Close reading is one of the most effective ways to learn a language, but it's painstaking work, normally spread across separate apps for parsing, translation, pronunciation, and vocabulary. This app brings reading, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, and output into one flow.

■ Everything close reading requires, in one app
- Syntax parsing: visualize a sentence's subject, verb, object, modifiers, and clause relationships
- Sentence simplification: break complex sentences into simpler ones, grouped by meaning
- Sentence-by-sentence translation: an accurate Japanese translation for each sentence
- Read-aloud: take in the sentence by ear, in a native voice
- Shadowing and pronunciation practice: record yourself viewing each word's IPA, then compare with the target IPA
- Vocabulary list: save unfamiliar words with one tap, linked to the Apple Dictionary
- Comprehension check via conversation: talk with AI about what you read, confirming you truly understood it
*Sentence simplification and the comprehension-check conversation require an Apple Intelligence-compatible device.

■ Built to stop "I sort of got it" from being good enough
Translation is tied directly to the syntax analysis, not a loose whole-sentence rendering, so you see exactly which Japanese corresponds to which English at a glance. Afterward, explain what you learned in your own words to AI, instead of just feeling like you understood it.

■ Pronunciation coaching that doesn't rely on your ear alone
Each word shows its IPA transcription from a custom pronunciation dictionary built on the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. Tap a word for a model pronunciation, then record your voice and compare it with the target IPA to pinpoint which sounds differ.

■ Multiple on-device AIs, each doing what it does best
Syntax parsing uses a custom-trained Core ML model, translation uses Apple's Translation framework, and simplification and comprehension-check conversations use Apple Intelligence on compatible devices. These AIs work together to turn one sentence into structure, meaning, sound, and dialogue — all locally, so you can learn offline. Your text and recordings never reach a server, and there's no account or AI service to sign up for.

■ Turn anything you want to read into your own study material
Textbooks, news, novels, work documents — turn any English text into close-reading material. Paste text, or import TXT, Markdown, HTML, EPUB, PDF, and web pages. On iPhone/iPad, scan documents with your camera. Imports are saved for you to revisit anytime.

■ Seamless across Mac, iPad, and iPhone
Pick up right where you left off on another device — progress syncs via iCloud. Layout and dark mode suit long study sessions.

■ Who it's for
- Readers of novels or foreign news who want accuracy, dictionary in hand
- Students preparing for entrance exams or TOEIC needing precise sentence analysis
- Professionals and researchers who read English papers or documents
- Anyone building reading skills for studying or working abroad
- Anyone practicing pronunciation and shadowing at their own pace, without sending study data anywhere

■ Free, and enough for everyday high-school-level study
Core features are free — reading textbooks aloud, shadowing, and comprehension for quizzes and exams are fully covered. A one-time "Pro" purchase only adds room for more imports, recent texts, saved passages, saved words, or conversation history. No subscription — ever.
