Recitare for students studying in a second language

Reading in a second language is slower. It does not have to be lonelier.

Assigned reading in English takes longer when English is not your first language. Recitare lets you hear the text while you follow it, slow down where the vocabulary is dense, and ask about anything that will not resolve, without leaving the page.

Listen. Follow. Clarify. Understand. Prepare.

Hear and read at the same time

Following spoken English while the same words highlight on screen supports both comprehension and pronunciation. You are reading the original text, not a translation of it.

Slow down exactly where you need to

Drop to 0.75x through an unfamiliar passage, then bring the pace back up for material you already know. Paid plans go up to 2x for review.

Ask about the sentence that will not resolve

Ask Max about a phrase, an idiom, or a technical term. Answers are grounded in your document and cite the page, so you can go back and re-read it in context.

Read your own material in your own language

Upload documents in Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi and more. Recitare detects the language and reads it aloud in a natural voice for that language.

Build academic vocabulary as you go

Select any passage and Smart Cards turns it into a study card with the key terms defined in the context they appeared in, rather than as an isolated word list.

Check your understanding, not just your reading

Comprehension checks ask you to put the idea in your own words. That is the difference between having decoded the sentence and having understood the argument.
