Not by dumping a whole PDF into a translator. Pro Reading is built for the way readings actually get done: in spare moments, a few pages at a time, with the original text always in front of you.
Each excerpt shows the English source with a Chinese (or Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish) translation beside it. Import PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown — processed on your phone, never uploaded.
Long documents are cut into short excerpts on a daily reading plan with progress tracking. Ten minutes between lectures is enough to finish a passage and make real progress.
Academic terms are highlighted as you read. Tap one for a plain-English definition with your native language alongside. Every lookup is saved to a bilingual word book for the course.
Each excerpt you finish is summarized on the spot. Summaries stack into a growing overview of the whole document — by exam time, your revision notes have written themselves.
Ask questions and get answers drawn only from the readings you completed — every answer cites the exact excerpt it came from. If your readings don't cover it, it says so instead of guessing.
Documents, progress and history stay on your device. Only the excerpt being summarized, your saved summaries, or your question with a few completed excerpts are ever sent — never your full documents.
Translation tools give you a wall of translated text and a switched-off brain. Pro Reading keeps the English in front of you and handles everything around it — the plan, the terms, the notes.
