What it does
01—0302
Tap, understand, continue
Dictionary definitions, pronunciation, examples and word origins appear at the point of need so attention stays inside the text.
03
AI as reading support
Selected sentences can be translated and broken down grammatically, while saved words become a reusable personal study set.
Behind the product
PROCESS & REFLECTIONStarting point
The idea came from the interruptions hidden inside language reading: copy a word, switch apps, search, return, and find the original sentence again. I wanted comprehension tools to feel like part of reading rather than an exit from it.
What I learned
This project pushed me to work across document parsing, web content extraction, dictionary data and AI output. More importantly, I learned that each technical layer should disappear behind one consistent reading gesture.
How my thinking changed
I stopped measuring the product by how many tools it offered and began measuring the time between confusion and understanding. Shortening that interruption became the core design goal.
