Pindu's Approach
Passages that are customized to you.

Carefully chosen topics. Pindu learns and writes about your interests, because staying engaged is a prerequisite for effective learning.
Pindu's Reader
Read immersively, tap for assistance.
Pindu integrates a purpose-built reading interface designed to keep you immersed in the text like a native reader. Fast and comprehensive affordances are integrated but stay out of the way until you need them.
- Tap individual words for help. Each word is backed by contextual definitions, pinyin, and spoken pronunciation.
- Work on the whole passage. Passages themselves are also glossed with English translations and full narration.
