LinguaGlass

iOS App Store Link

LinguaGlass is a iOS application designed for immersive reading for language learners. Extract text from the web and tap any word to reveal its meaning. Heavily inspired by KantanManga. Primarily built to enable the language learners to read manga/manhwa easier.

Note: This is one of my first coding projects, so the code may be messy and unclear.

Privacy Policy: LinguaGlass does not collect any data from users.
