Why Choose TapMark?
Traditional dictionary lookup methods often disrupt reading flow, requiring guesses among multiple meanings of a word, leading to a fragmented and strenuous experience. TapMark aimes to change this by allowing you to mark unfamiliar words directly during reading. These marked words are bracketed, and after accumulating enough, you can copy the text with contextual information and preset prompts, and send it directly to a third-party AI for precise explanations. This innovative reading method not only improves learning efficiency but also enhances the reading experience by avoiding the interruptions and friction typically associated with language learning through reading, eliminating the need to constantly refer to a dictionary or switch contexts. TapMark streamlines the learning-through-reading process, making it straightforward, linear, and coherent, helping maintain enthusiasm and motivation for learning, turning foreign language learning into a pleasurable and painless experience.
