Read real books in the language you're learning.
Bring an EPUB, article, pasted text, or audio. Komichi shows how much you already know, then helps with the words that get in the way.
Your personal readability
La cultura del café en España
Not just B1. A fit for your vocabulary.
Bring something in. Find your fit. Read more.
Three simple steps turn the things you already want to read into progress.
Start with something you actually want to read
Upload an EPUB, paste text, import an article, add an MP3, or choose from the public library. Komichi turns it into a personal reading experience.
El Principito
by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
La cultura del café en España
by Radio Ambulante
Your library shows what to read next, not just what you have saved.
Know whether it is right for you, then read
Komichi compares the text with your vocabulary first. Then tap a word for meaning, pronunciation, grammar or a question about the sentence, only when you need it.
Learn words and unlock your next book
Words you meet become part of your vocabulary. The same text moves from 78% known to 86% to 94%, while Good next read points you toward what you can enjoy next.
Every page makes the next one feel more possible.
Komichi is not a one-off translation tool. It turns reading into a loop that steadily expands what you can enjoy.
Read
Choose a book, article, story or episode you genuinely want.
Encounter words
Tap only what interrupts the meaning. Keep the sentence in view.
Learn them
Save useful words and revisit them in the context where you met them.
Vocabulary grows
Known words move from New to Learning to Known as you read.
More becomes readable
Your personal readability changes, so better next reads appear.
Read more → encounter more → read more
A reading tool first. Everything else stays close to the page.
Most language tools give you a lesson and ask you to fit your life around it. Komichi starts with the book, article, or episode you already want—and helps you keep going.
Start with your content
Read something you chose, not another exercise written for an imaginary learner.
Know what will fit
See whether a text is comfortable, useful, or ambitious for your vocabulary before you commit to it.
Keep the story moving
Get help with the words that interrupt you, then return to the sentence and keep reading.
Watch the same content become yours.
CEFR is useful metadata, but two B1 learners can know completely different words. Your vocabulary is the measure that matters when you choose what to read next.

Your personal readability over time
A few words interrupt the flow.
The same pages feel lighter.
You are reading, not translating.
Read first. Get help only when you need it.
The core experience is reading. These tools stay close to the page instead of pulling you into another lesson.
Understand the sentence
Get a useful meaning that respects the words around it, not a disconnected dictionary answer.
Find books that fit your level
See how much of a text is already known, how much is new and where it will stretch you.
Hear the language
Listen to pronunciation and audio while the words are still attached to a real piece of content.
Remember what matters
Turn words you actually cared about into review cards, then meet them again in context.
Ask about what you're reading
Ask a question about grammar, tone or meaning without leaving the page.
Create practice from what you read
Turn the books and stories you choose into exercises for the words you want to remember.

Everything you need to know before you start reading.
Bring the content you care about. Here is exactly what Komichi supports and how it works.
What languages does Komichi support?
Komichi currently supports Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, and Tagalog. More languages are planned.
What can I read in Komichi?
You can upload EPUB files, paste text, import articles with the Komichi browser extension, or add MP3 audio for transcription. You can also choose content from the public library.
Does Komichi support PDF files?
Not yet. For now, use an EPUB, paste the text, import the article with the browser extension, or convert the PDF to text before adding it.
How does Komichi know which books fit me?
Komichi compares the words in a text with the vocabulary you already know. It shows what is familiar, what is new, and whether the book looks like a comfortable or ambitious next read.
What is included in the free plan?
The free plan is available without a credit card and includes daily limits for translations, explanations, pronunciation, in-book chat, and story generation, plus flashcards from your books.
Is my content private?
Your uploaded books and vocabulary are private by default. You can choose to make a book public for other learners, and you can change that choice later.
How is Komichi different from a translation tool?
Komichi keeps the reading experience in view. It helps you understand a word in its sentence, tracks the vocabulary you meet, and uses that progress to help you choose what to read next.
Read what interests you. Learn as you go.
Komichi shows you how much you already understand, then helps with the rest.
