With the Text Reader (previously called Text Analyser), you can read texts of your choice on LeanWithOliver.com. Words you do not know yet and want to practise can be added to lists via the pop-up menu.
A new feature allows you to upload a text in any language and then translate it into the target language you want to learn. For example, you might want to read a novel such as *Robinson Crusoe* in a language that may not be available online. This makes it possible to read your favourite texts in the language you are learning.
In the Text Reader, you can also request context-aware explanations of unfamiliar words or even translate entire paragraphs. You can also generate a word list of all the words used, with translations into your native language.
You can upload text files in the following formats: epub, txt, docx, pdf, and rtf.
You can download free books from Archive.org or Project Gutenberg. The maximum file size you can upload is around 20 MB. The book contents will be kept on our site for one month after the last reading activity.
You can find the Text Reader under “Menu > Show all Links > Main Links > Text Reader” when you log in.
