What’s New Version 1.3
- Lower minimum supported app version to iOS 18.
Description
Built out of a genuine love for learning Chinese, Wen Reader gives intermediate readers a clean, modern way to read native-level books while getting context-aware dictionary definitions with a simple long-press.
Import your own EPUBs, read with great typography, and stay fully offline.
Features:
- EPUB Import & Smooth Reading: open standard EPUB files from Files, with fast pagination powered by Readium and adjustable margins, fonts, and line spacing.
- Instant Dictionary Pop-Ups: long-press any Chinese text to see an inline definition panel using offline CC-CEDICT data.
- Lightweight On-Device ML: context-aware word boundary segmentation and dictionary definition ranking.
- Context & Sharing Tools: quickly copy the selected word, sentence, or paragraph, or send text to Pleco or ChatGPT (when installed) for deeper explanation.
- Simple, Focused Navigation: tap the book title to browse the table of contents, and Wen Reader automatically saves your reading position as you go.
Who is Wen Reader For?
- Readers who can understand native Chinese text with some effort.
- Learners who want a modern, clean EPUB reading experience without distractions.
- Users who benefit from quick dictionary support but do not need the full ecosystem of flashcards, handwriting input, OCR, etc.
Privacy
- No analytics, no tracking, and no personal data collection.
- No external API calls.
- Everything stays on your device.
