WordZam

WordZam is a reading companion for language learners. Each tool removes one reason people give up on a real book.
Book companion
Say or type a word from your book. You see what it means in that sentence in about a second. A whole sentence gets a translation.
Why it works Words stick when you meet them inside a story you care about. You only stay in the story if looking up is nearly free.
Open the companionMy words
Every word you save lands in one list, together with the sentence you found it in. Export the list to Anki whenever you like.
Why it works A word is easier to remember when it comes with the scene where you first met it.
Open my wordsImport & read
Paste text, photograph a page, or open an EPUB or PDF. Then tap any word to see its card.
Why it works You read more when the text is one you chose, and reading more is what builds a language.
Open import & readChapter word list
Paste a chapter and see which unfamiliar words come up again and again, before you read it.
Why it works A few repeated words carry most of a chapter. Learning them first saves you many lookups later.
Open the chapter word listDifficulty check

Why it works You learn the most from text that sits a little above your level.
Open the difficulty checkLevel converter
It rewrites a dense passage at the level you choose, and keeps the meaning.
Why it works Once you know what a paragraph says, the original can teach you how it says it.
