Context Word Lookup

Context is an app designed to make reading in a foreign language easier and more effective for users on iOS and macOS.

This handy tool helps you tackle tricky foreign language texts by allowing you to look up the meaning of words right within their sentences. Instead of just straightforwardly asking an AI like ChatGPT for definitions, Context streamlines your experience. You simply copy the sentence, choose the words you’re curious about, and let the AI provide clear explanations, making your reading sessions more productive and enjoyable.

But there’s more! Context also offers useful features like saving your word lookups so you can revisit them later, syncing your data effortlessly between your iOS and macOS devices, and exporting your findings in Markdown or CSV formats. Plus, for those moments when you need a quick reference, there’s a convenient widget you can use.

While Context isn’t a free app, it does allow users to try it out with 100 complimentary lookups before you need to subscribe. For just $0.99 or $2.49 per month, you can continue using all its features. This subscription model makes sense given that the app relies on ChatGPT and cloud computing services, which come with ongoing costs. Even though it’s a small application, the developers encourage you to see how it can enhance your language learning experience.

Created by Chen Guo, Context not only supports serious reading and easy review but also promotes a more thoughtful and measured pace of life. It's designed to help you grasp unfamiliar words within sentences effortlessly, making it an indispensable tool for anyone diving into foreign language reading.
