Hey PH! π
I'm a language learner who kept abandoning real books because conjugated verbs broke my reading flow. Dictionary apps give you the definition β if you already know the base form. Most of the time, you don't.
So I built LemmaRead: tap any word in French, Spanish or German, and you get the lemma (dictionary base form) + the definition, instantly. Everything works offline because the lexicon is bundled in. Your vocabulary list fills itself as you read, and you can check the "unknown word rate" before starting a book to pick the right level.
Would love your feedback and support! π

The auto-restoring of plurals and conjugations to their dictionary form is genuinely clever, makes highlighting actually useful. Native TTS while reading is a nice touch for reinforcing pronunciation alongside meaning.

@saul_zhuΒ Hey Curtis β thanks for actually reading the description, that means a lot π
The native TTS + lemma pairing was a late addition. I'd kept them as separate features for months before realizing the real value is the combination β seeing parlaient morph to parler while hearing it pronounced is what actually makes inflections stick in memory.
Curious β which language are you reading in? Wondering if you're using it for French novels or one of the others.

The offline dictionary form restoration is a game changer for reading in my target language, no more guessing at conjugations while I'm trying to follow the plot.

@yorick_zevonΒ yorick β exactly the pain I was trying to fix. Offline was non-negotiable for me because most of my reading happens on planes and bad-coffee-shop WiFi. Half the value of any reader disappears when it can't load the lexicon.
Out of curiosity, what's your target language? The French one (Lefff + Larousse) is where I sweated the details; Spanish/German are good but not Larousse-grade. Trying to decide if I should invest the same level in the others.
