LexiAnchor brings reading and language tools into the same workspace. Import trusted, DRM-free EPUB or PDF files, adjust typography and page layout, look up words, and save vocabulary cards for later reference. Books, reading progress, and settings are stored primarily on your computer.

I develop the project through requirements, hands-on testing, and iterative feedback, with AI assistance in design, implementation, and documentation.

Use notes

Word-prefix emphasis is an optional EPUB display feature, not an established treatment or a guarantee of faster reading. Offline sentence translation requires a downloaded model; online translation and Web search need a connection. Text selection in scanned PDFs requires a text layer. The current desktop builds are test releases; check the release notes and keep backups.
