Using Librera for Learning Foreign Languages

Librera Reader is an excellent tool for those who learn a foreign language... or just happen to read a book in another tongue.

Just use your finger (any finger) to highlight/select text

  • Translate easily and promptly a selected word, passage or even page
  • Configure Librera to work with online and offline translators and/or dictionaries
  • Enable single-touch (long-press) dictionary lookup (check the box)
  • This also holds for passage translations if your "dictionary-of-choice" is, say, Google Translate (make sure your Internet connection is up and running)

Note! You can configure Librera to select words on a single tap in the Advanced Settings tab (not recommended)

If the Open selection in dictionary is unchecked, you will be presented with multiple choices in the Text window:

  • Make Librera pronounce the word for you or read your selection back to you out loud
  • Make it read the entire book out loud (voice-accompanied reading)
  • Open the word/passage in another dictionary/translator
  • Bookmark pages with meaningful word sequences

You can play external audio files with Librera. It supports all frequently used audio formats, e.g., .mp3, .mp4, .wav, .ogg, .m4a, and .flac.

  • Play audio-books alongside their ebook copies (voice-accompanied reading)
  • Handle the pace of your reading with the playback controls at the bottom
  • Use the Bookmarks window to navigate the book

A long-press on the Play/Pause button will rewind the track to the very beginning.
