App to support reading foreign language books (on paper)

Hacker News

This emerged out of the way I was reading books in languages that I'm studying or just wanting to brush up on. I would read with my phone sitting next to a book, with DeepL to look up translations and Anki to record new vocabulary I wanted to learn in flashcards. Lexiglo makes this seamless: taking a picture of a book page, doing OCR, annotating the text using NLP, integrating DeepL translations and spaced repetition flashcards. Currently supports English, French, German, Italian. I've been using it for several weeks and it's now ready for others to try. I'm looking for Android testers in particular, sign up instructions on the site. (iPhone coming soon.)
