LingoGist – Learn Languages by Reading

Turn the entire internet into your personal language tutor. With LingoGist, you can read real news articles in a distraction-free Reader Mode and naturally build your vocabulary—right in context. Standard translators often fail with idioms. LingoGist goes further: Our intelligent AI recognizes connected word groups, phrasal verbs, and proper nouns (Smart Chunks). When you hover over the text, you don't just get a single word translated; you get the meaning of the entire phrase. This way, you learn the language exactly as it is spoken in real life. Key features at a glance: Distraction-Free Reader Mode: Extracts the pure article text from any webpage, hiding annoying ads, pop-ups, and menus. Smart Hover & Reveal: Hover over difficult words or phrases to instantly see the context-accurate translation. Click on a sentence to seamlessly display the original text underneath. Graded Reading: Is an article too difficult? Simplify the text to a clear B1 level, view a short summary, or extract the key bullet points with a single click. Phrase & Vocabulary Trainer: Save interesting idioms with one click. Export your collection later, including the original context, as a CSV file (perfect for Anki). Audio Support (TTS): Listen to the correct pronunciation of sentences and vocabulary directly in your browser. Hybrid Architecture (Privacy Option): By default, LingoGist uses our lightning-fast Smart AI. For maximum privacy or offline reading, you can switch to our fully local, on-device offline AI at any time (Beta feature).
