What makes it work

Turn "read it" into "understood and remembered"

In-context AI translation

Tap a word or phrase for a translation and explanation that fits the sentence — learn a language in context, not as isolated words.

Upload a PDF, or turn a web page into one

Read your own PDF books; or paste a web link and turn an online article into a lookup-ready, quiz-ready PDF.

An AI quiz each chapter

After each chapter, AI generates comprehension questions; you've read it only once you understand it — skimming becomes deep reading.

Automatic word review

Words you looked up flow into a review deck — walked through and spaced out so new words actually stick.

Vocabulary & progress curve

See how many words you know and how your reading speed changes — progress you can see, as encouragement, not a grade.

Set tasks + read together

Parents or teachers set a reading plan; members see each other's progress and cheer each other on — reading together keeps momentum.

OpenDyslexic font + reading modes

The OpenDyslexic font makes reading easier for dyslexic readers; guided, timed and free modes fit every reading situation.

About LexiByte

What is LexiByte

LexiByte helps people learn languages by reading real books. You read books — public-domain titles, PDFs you upload, or web pages turned into PDFs — in any of 15 languages, with tap-to-look-up vocabulary help, in-context explanations, pronunciation, and AI-generated comprehension quizzes each chapter. A LexiBot assistant gives hints, not answers. Individuals keep one profile; families and (soon) schools can set reading tasks and follow shared progress. Reading is always free and never locked — you only pay for AI help with new books.

Read-aloud voice

Make read-aloud sound natural: install a better voice

The 🔊 on a word card reads aloud with your device's built-in voice. The default is often an old "compact" voice that sounds robotic. Spend a minute installing the "Enhanced / Premium" neural voice and it sounds close to a real person — set once, works everywhere. LexiByte then picks the best installed voice automatically; nothing to configure in the app.

iPhone / iPad
  1. Open Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices.
  2. Pick the language you read (e.g. Chinese, French), and download the one marked "Enhanced" or "Premium".
  3. After it downloads, tap it so it's checked (set as the default voice for that language); you can also set it under "Default Voice".
  4. Back in LexiByte, look up a word and tap 🔊 — it now uses the high-quality voice.
Mac
  1. Open System Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → System Voice, then "Manage Voices…".
  2. Find the language you read and download the "Enhanced" or "Premium" version.
  3. Select it in the "System Voice" menu and press ▶︎ to preview.
Windows
  1. Easiest: open LexiByte in Microsoft Edge — Edge ships high-quality online "Natural" voices that are used automatically (needs internet).
  2. For offline/Chrome, install a voice pack: Settings → Time & language → Speech → Manage voices → Add voices, and download your language.
  3. On Windows 11 you can also add nicer voices under Accessibility → Narrator → Add natural voices.
Android
  1. Open Settings → System → Languages & input → Text-to-speech output, choose "Google Text-to-speech Engine".
  2. Tap the gear "Install voice data" and download the high-quality voice for your language.
  3. Open LexiByte in Chrome — it will read aloud with Google's high-quality voice.
