3. Explanation/translation will automatically display when the new word appears again in future reading, this will greatly enhance your memory, no need to memorize by rote anymore
4. Dictionary explains includes lemmatization form of the word (men -> man) and verb phrase explain (get rid of), help you to understand the entire sentence better
5. Examination mode (multiple choice) will help you to effectively revise what you have learned
6. Scan to read feature allows you to extract text from camera or photos and study
7. Audio ebook reading feature synchronizes text with professional narrators voice, gives you an immersive reading and learning experience
8. Built-in bookstore currently comes with 3,000+ free public domain ebooks and audio ebooks, all free to download

10. If you cant find any book you like in the bookstore, upload your own through iTunes (currently only support EPUB format books)
Traditional ebook readers offer a tap-and-hold-for-dictionary feature for any new word you see. Not only it greatly interrupts your reading experience, you would hardly learn any new word from it. AA Readers innovative inline contextual explanation/translation service gives you back seaming-less reading and learning experience. Reading has never been easier!
Limited vocabulary? Stop trying to memorize by rote, you will automatically remember words using this method, without you even knowing it, try it yourself!
Under the hood, AA Reader makes heavy use of machine learning, big data analytics and NLP (natural language processing) to power these innovative features. We are working day and night to improve the accuracy and performance. If you encounter any explanation/translation error while using the app, please use the in-app feature to upload the errors to us, this will significantly help us to improve.
We are looking for business partners and developers to enhance this app in terms of digital content, dictionary integrations, product enhancements and more. Please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected] if you are interested!
