When Shakespeare says discover, he doesn't mean "find"—he means "reveal". When reading the classics, the Victorian novel, or the King James Bible, Lexio knows the period-specific senses of words.
Academic papers are full of jargon and specific terms of art. Lexio recognizes when a common word is being used in a highly specific, disciplinary way and defines it accordingly.
Stop highlighting words in a PDF and forgetting to look them up later. Lexio tracks what you don't know and builds a study guide for you.
Every time you look up a word on a website or in a scanned PDF, Lexio saves it. Your Word Bank becomes a running log of the exact vocabulary you found difficult during your semester reading.
Before finals, click one button to export your entire Word Bank to Anki. Lexio creates the flashcards automatically, putting the word on the front, and the definition and the original sentence from your reading on the back.
University courses love to assign scanned book chapters as locked PDFs where you can't highlight or copy the text. With Lexio's built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition), you can drop a screenshot of the PDF or take a photo of a physical book with your phone. Lexio instantly extracts the text and lets you tap any word for a contextual definition. The book stays a book, and you get your definitions.
