Why connect sentence cards to books and pages

Updated 2026-08-29

Use book and page context to revisit a passage and understand how an expression works in the original material.

  1. Keep a route back to the source

    Bind recognised material to a book and page number, organise it as sentence cards, and return to that context while reviewing local learning progress and reports.

    Book and page associations, sentence cards, learning profiles, and reports are stored on your device by default. The current release has no remote account or sync feature.

  2. Capture and check the original

    Use the camera or choose an image from the system photo library. You can review the OCR result before translating or organizing it.

    Lighting, clarity, layout, and language affect OCR accuracy. Check the result against the original before relying on it.

  3. Use language tools to clarify meaning

    Where supported, translation, speech recognition, and text-to-speech features prioritize capabilities provided on the device by iOS.

    Machine recognition, translation, and speech output may be incomplete or inaccurate and must not replace human review in professional or high-risk contexts.

  4. Understand accuracy and local-storage boundaries

    Images, OCR text, translations, and learning content are processed and stored on the device by default. Speech-input results are stored on the device by default; the operator does not retain microphone audio.

    The current release has no advertising and no analytics. It also does not include advertising tracking, cross-app tracking, IDFA use, heat maps, or session replay.
