Two walls, not one
The language is the first wall. The second is the tradition: what is assumed known, which examples are used, how a proof is laid out.
Use case 5
Their ideas, in your language and your words
Translation alone is not enough: a mathematics textbook from India translated word for word is still written for Indian students, in the habits of that school. Lecturized translates and simplifies in one step and keeps the notation, so the book becomes readable and understandable for someone outside that language and that tradition.
- Nine languages
- Translated and retold at once
- Notation kept
Why translation alone falls short
Word for word is still hard
A machine translation keeps the dense academic sentence it was given. You can now read every word and still not follow.
Notation gets mangled
Translators treat formulas and symbols as text. A subscript lost is a theorem lost.
What the lectures do instead
Translate and retell together
The chapter is told in your language at the level you choose, in one step, so it reads as if it had been written for you.
Keep the mathematics
Formulas, symbols and names stay exactly as the author wrote them; only the words around them change.
Bridge the tradition
What the author assumes from their school is said out loud, and the examples are brought closer to home.
Set it up like this
- 1
Your language
Choose the language of the lectures; the book can be in any language the models read.
- 2
Level by your footing
Level 3 if you know the subject and not the language; level 4 if both are new.
- 3
Back to the source
Every part says where it is in the original, for when you want the author’s own words.
Upload the book you cannot read yet
Any language in, your language out; the first part in a few minutes.

The other readers
The same product, from where someone else stands.
The busy reader
No time to read, but time to listen. The book is retold so that it works by ear, formulas and tables included.
OpenThe visual learner
Formulas and notation do not stick; pictures and a spoken explanation do. Every formula becomes a drawing and a plain sentence.
OpenBefore going to bed
Instead of whatever plays next at midnight: a calm, light telling of a book you actually care about.
OpenThe struggling student
The chapter you read twice and gave up on. A plainer telling first, then the original with context: comprehension, not replacement.
