Features

A dictionary tells you what a word means. NotaRead tells you what it means here, in this sentence, in this author's hands. The AI reads the surrounding text before it answers.
Translation when you need it

One click, not a new tab. Highlight any phrase and translate it into your language without leaving the page. Works with 50+ languages.
Notes that stay attached
Synced across devices
Highlight a passage, jot a thought. It's saved with the source, the page, and the context. Months later, you'll know exactly why you saved it.
PDFs, actually supported
