Spoon Reader - English Novels, One Sentence at a Time, Anywhere
Spoon Reader is an all-in-one reading and learning platform designed to help you easily and deeply engage with English literature. We're constantly adding carefully selected works, including "The Great Gatsby" and "The Old Man and the Sea." You can download the first part of each book for free and experience it firsthand. We also support "Listen Mode," allowing you to listen to sentences even when you're busy. You can also download the original English text for free and read it in its original form. Purchased titles are permanently stored in "My Bookshelf," allowing you to read them offline.
■ Key Experiences
Spoon Reader displays the original text and its advanced translation side-by-side, sentence-by-sentence, or paragraph-by-paragraph, ensuring you never lose track of the meaning. You can choose between horizontal page turning and vertical continuous scrolling, depending on the situation. You can also switch between viewing the original and translated texts, as well as switching between English-only and Korean-only views. Long-pressing text allows you to copy, add a colored pencil, and instantly search the Naver English Dictionary. The original text, translation, and vocabulary list are displayed on the same screen, allowing for seamless reading and review. You can also switch directly from reading to "Listening Mode" to continue listening.
■ Learning Tools
Tapping the numbered superscripts (¹²³) in the text opens a pop-up with the definition, usage, and grammar explanation of the word or phrase. Important vocabulary can be saved as colored pencil highlights and grouped by color. Receive review reminders at intervals of 1, 3, or 6 hours for natural repetition. Furthermore, the new "Listening Mode" and sentence-level TTS reading support allow for precise control of play/pause, speed, voice, and even sentence spacing. Meticulous audio focus minimizes audio interference with other apps.
■ Navigation and Navigation
The chapter drawer on the left and the highlight list on the right allow for instant access to any desired location, and bookmarks allow you to easily manage your last reading point. Quickly find keywords with the full-text search, and the page and progress percentage are always displayed at the bottom. Top and bottom overlays provide quick access to frequently used functions, ensuring a seamless reading experience.
■ Customization and Themes
Freely adjust font size, line and paragraph spacing, left and right/top and bottom margins, justification, block number display on/off, and even the menu bar color to create your own eye-friendly theme. Dark/light themes are available, along with optimized covers and thumbnails, and long book descriptions can be read naturally with a scrolling scroll.
■ Storage, Purchase, and Stability
Free previews are available for all books, and the original English text is available for free download and viewing at any time. A purchase confirmation dialog clearly guides you through the process. After payment, receipt verification and purchase restoration (Android/iOS) are supported, ensuring ownership remains secure even when switching devices. Your last reading position and all view/theme settings are automatically saved and instantly restored when you close and reopen the app.
■ Statistics and Motivation
Check your reading time, progress, and the number of colored pencils and bookmarks used for each book to visually assess your learning progress. Based on this, set learning goals and steadily build your skills with review notifications.
