How this demo works

These three translations were prepared and checked in advance. The demo makes no AI requests and uses no credits. It only translates the marked examples; it does not save words or reading progress.

In your own book, you can select other passages. New AI translations may differ or contain mistakes. They need an internet connection, a verified email address and available credits.
