SpoonReader helps you learn Korean or Japanese through classic English novels and stories—one sentence at a time, with AI-powered support and audio. Read in a bilingual layout, listen as you go, and use smart study tools that make it easier to stay engaged and actually finish books.

Follow the story in English, then switch to Korean or Japanese for sentence-by-sentence learning. Ask the AI when you’re stuck, reinforce meaning with scene images, and build a consistent reading routine with highlights, bookmarks, progress tracking—and now a built-in Wordbook and Word Quiz for structured review.

AI Mode

Ask AI (GPT): Get instant help with confusing sentences, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural background.

Scene Images: Add your own images or let AI generate/enhance visuals to deepen understanding and immersion.

Context Assist: Clear explanations for long sentence structure, references (who/what “it” means), and nuance.

Core Reading Experience

Bilingual by sentence or paragraph: Keep your place and keep the meaning—no losing the flow.

Flexible viewing: Page-turn or continuous scroll, plus English-only / Korean-only / Japanese-only / alternating views.

Audio per sentence: TTS/audiobook with speed, pause, and voice controls—ideal for shadowing practice.

Quick tools: Long-press to copy, highlight in colors, search dictionaries, and search across the entire book.

Smooth navigation: Chapter drawer, highlights/bookmarks panel, and a clear progress bar.

Study Tools

Word & phrase pop-ups: Tap superscript markers (¹²³) to instantly see meaning, usage examples, and simple grammar notes.

Wordbook (Vocabulary Notebook): Save and manage learned words and expressions in one place. You can build your Wordbook naturally as you read—by highlighting words/phrases—and review them later with search and filters.

Word Quiz: Practice the words you’ve saved in your Wordbook through quick quizzes. It’s an easy way to reinforce meaning and retention without leaving the app.

Vocabulary notebook + color highlights: Save and review key words by category/color.

Spaced review reminders: Automatic reminders at intervals (e.g., 1, 3, 6 hours) to keep learning active.
