Guide

What Language Learning Companion does

Language Learning Companion takes something you copied in any language and gives you an English walkthrough of the sentences, the words, and extra examples. It reads from your clipboard and shows the result in a preview above your keyboard.

Guide

Why it belongs on the keyboard

The most useful study material is the text you run into anyway: messages, posts, captions. With the Act on your keyboard, you can learn from it in the app where you found it.

Guide

Where it fits

The walkthrough is in English. If you only need to know what a text says, Understand Any Language gives you a plain English translation. This Act is for when you also want to see how the sentence is put together.
