In development for iOS and Android
Lectorist is a mobile reading companion for intermediate language learners. Tap unknown words for lightweight translation, keep reading, and let vocabulary grow from the words you actually meet.
Reading now
Tap a word, see just enough meaning, then continue reading.
Lectorist is for learners who already know the basics, but still meet too many unknown words to comfortably read native material. It keeps reading at the center: translation helps the flow, vocabulary comes from real exposure, and progress stays quiet.
How it works
Open selected articles, saved text, RSS sources, PDFs, or documents in a clean mobile reader.
Tap unknown words for a lightweight translation with enough context to stay in the text.
Words you translate are collected automatically. When they appear again and you keep reading, Lectorist treats that as progress.
Product principles
Translation should help you continue, not pull you into another study mode.
Your vocabulary list is built from words you met while reading meaningful content.
Progress appears through recognition over time, without forced quizzes or heavy dashboards.
Reading history, imported content, translations, and progress are treated as private learning data.
What it is not
The app is intentionally narrow: a mobile-first reader for real content, lightweight translation, vocabulary tracking, RSS, document import, and a simple progress view.
