FAQ

Questions

What level do I need?

A1 is for beginners; B1 is for people who can read short everyday texts and want longer ones. You can change language and level at any time.

Does it cost anything?

Signing up and reading are free, including every built-in text, the word list and review. Pro adds AI explanations and translations, so you can read anything you paste.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Open it in your phone's browser; there is no app to install.

What does the read-aloud sound like?

It uses the voices built into your phone or computer, so it sounds different from one device to another.

Where is my data stored?

On a server in Hong Kong. For details, see the privacy policy.
