ReadVocab – Turn English books into vocabulary flashcards

Hacker News

Hi HN! I'm Mahmoud, and I built ReadVocab to solve a problem I faced while learning English: the frustrating experience of constantly interrupting reading to look up words. ReadVocab turns popular English books into pre-made flashcard sets, organized by chapter. It includes: - Audio pronunciation for each word - Contextual sentences from the book - Multiple definitions and translations - Spaced repetition system for efficient learning - 20+ books available (growing weekly based on community votes) The project took 2 years to develop. It's designed to help intermediate learners (B1-C1) complete a 400-page book in about 2 months while mastering 1000+ new words. Try it out: http://readvocab.com/?via=HN I'd love to hear your feedback, especially from fellow language learners or those teaching English!
