OrdPal

OrdPal turns any book into a reading companion. Underline a word with a pencil, snap a photo of the page, and OrdPal explains it in clear, level-appropriate language. For children learning to read across multiple languages, for language learners working through native-language books, and for anyone who just wants to know what a word means right now.

How it works

1. Underline the words you don't know in any book with a pencil.
2. Snap a photo of the page in OrdPal.
3. Tap any detected word to see an explanation — and optionally generate an illustration.

Who it's for

• Children learning to read in one or more languages
• Language learners reading native-language books
• Multilingual families where siblings learn different languages
• Anyone who picks up a book and wonders what a word means
