You're already reading in English. But do you understand everything?
News articles, technical articles, recipes, fan forums – the interesting stuff is often not in your language. And then you get stuck on a word, copy it into a translator app, come back, and lose your place.
HeyBrowser is a completely normal browser, with one difference: If you tap an unfamiliar word while reading, the translation appears instantly above it. No tab switching, no copy-paste, no losing your place.
TAP WORD, CONTINUE READING
• Translation directly above the word, with word class and secondary meaning
• Pronunciation of the word and translation, each in the correct language
• Words you've already saved are highlighted on every page
• Works on regular websites as well as in PDFs
READING WILL BECOME A KNOWLEDGE
One tap on "Save," and the word is in your vocabulary list – along with the sentence where you found it and the page it came from. Each language pair has its own booklet, so Spanish and Japanese don't get mixed up. You can export it as a CSV or Anki file.
SEVEN WAYS TO PRACTICE
Flashcards, Matching Pairs, Memory, Writing, Multiple Choice, Timed Mode, and Word Sorting. A review schedule determines what you practice each day: What you've mastered gets less frequent practice; what you're struggling with gets more. All learning modes are unlimited and free—they run entirely on your device.

• "Clear all data" cleans up with a single tap
HeyBrowser uses a daily data allowance from an external service for translation. This is sufficient for normal reading; once it's used up, it continues the next day. Reading, vocabulary book, and all learning modes continue to function independently.
