How it works
Add a book, paste an article, or open a PDF. Share to oqou from Safari, Files, or anywhere, and it's ready to read in seconds.
One tap shows an instant, in-context meaning and translation right where you are. No pop-out dictionaries, no losing your place.
Keep new words and phrases with a tap. Smart Review brings them back at just the right moment, in sessions that take a few minutes.
Import anything
Books, news articles, research PDFs, blog posts, your own documents. Bring them in by web link, file, or paste, and oqou keeps the formatting clean and readable, so it still feels like reading, not studying.
Tap to translate
Tap once. oqou reads the surrounding sentence and gives you the meaning that actually fits, not a generic dictionary guess, layered right over the page. Tap again to save it, and keep reading.
Try it on your next pageSmart Review
Saved words become your personal deck, and Smart Review uses spaced repetition to resurface each one right as you're about to forget. oqou marks the journey too, from your first month to your third to your first full year of reading.
Your shelf
A plain PDF is forgettable. So oqou gives every text you import a unique cover, generated right on your device, turning your imports into a bookshelf you're proud of and actually want to come back to.

Free level test
A quick, adaptive test places you somewhere between A1 and C1 in about two minutes, using a yes/no vocabulary staircase. Take the fuller version any time in Settings for a deeper placement, up to C2, and oqou starts you on stories written exactly for your level.
Stories, printedPro
Export a story with a cover generated just for it, the text set in the reader's own serif type, and a vocabulary appendix built from the words you saved while reading, finished with a small oqou colophon page.
Starter stories export free. Exporting your own imports is part of oqou Pro.
