Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built Booklern to help my wife learn English. She couldn't find a simple reader that shows English and a translation side by side. There are a few similar tools, but each is limited in some way, so I decided to build a language-learning tool around the reading experience itself. Booklern is a bilingual reader: real books in English, with a translation you can show next to each sentence. Hover a word and the matching phrase lights up in both languages. What's in it: 📚 700+ public-domain classics, graded from A2 to C1, from Alice in Wonderland to Crime and Punishment 🌍 Translation into Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese 🔊 Natural read-aloud audio and instant word help, with a vocabulary list that saves as you read 🎙️ Pronunciation practice: read a passage aloud and each word is scored as you speak (only the scores are saved, never your voice) 📥 Upload your own EPUB or paste any text It's free during early access, and you can open a book without an account. I'd love your feedback, especially on two questions: Is the side-by-side translation a help, or does it make it too easy to stop reading the English? Which book should I add next? I'll be here all day to answer questions. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
