READ.SURF — read paper books in another language

Photograph a page of a paper book and the app reads the text, then gives you the words and idioms you don't know yet, translated the way they are used in your sentence. No stopping at every word to dig through a dictionary: you stay in the flow and actually finish the book.

How it works

1. Photograph a page or a spread of a paper book.
2. Get a cheat sheet: only the words you don't know yet, translated in context.
3. Tap any word on the photo for an instant translation of the word and its sentence.
4. Star the lines you love and keep them in your own quote collection, sorted into folders.
