How Bakilex works
Stay inside the story
Bakilex keeps language support inside the reading experience, so an unfamiliar word does not have to interrupt the book.
Read what interests you
Choose from the Bakilex Central Library or upload a book or document you already want to read.
Translate without leaving the page
Tap a word or highlight a phrase and see its translation immediately, right where you are reading.
Keep reading naturally
Save books, return to your place and let vocabulary develop through repeated encounters in real texts.
Reading comes first
Language support that does not take over the book
Bakilex is built around reading. Translation is there when you need it, while the book stays at the centre of the experience.
Tap a word for a quick translation, or highlight a phrase when you need the meaning in context, then carry on reading.

See what keeps coming up as you read
Wondering which words are still giving you trouble, or which ones are starting to feel more familiar? Learning Progress keeps track of the vocabulary you check while you read, so you can come back later and see how things are changing.
No points or streaks, just a clearer picture of what you're learning through reading.
