Highlight-based, context-aware AI translation is built right into the book
Translate any fragments: words, phrases, sentences
Voice-over with selectable American or British pronunciation
No friction from switching between a book and a translator
Highlight-based, context-aware AI translation is built right into the book
We eliminated the friction that comes from constantly switching between a book and an external translator. Now, translation is built right into the book — and it’s context-aware.
Choose your translation language in settings, then highlight any text fragment — and see the instant pop‑up with the meaning:
Translate words
Translate phrases
Translate sentences
For translation, we use ChatGPT under the hood — one of the most advanced AIs in the world. When translating any fragment, we also provide the AI with the surrounding text context in which that fragment appears and ask AI to translate the fragment as accurately as possible within that specific context. As a result, by combining ChatGPT with context awareness, we achieve one of the highest-quality translations — right inside the book.
Supports 32 languages
The book supports translation into all major world languages: Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Romanian, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Swedish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Slovenian, Slovak, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese (Portugal, Brazil), Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional).
Context awareness delivers the most accurate translations
When you manually translate a word or phrase using an external translator, it has no idea of the surrounding context — which often results in inaccurate translations.
In contrast, our built-in translator understands and takes into account the context in which the fragment appears. This results in the most accurate translations — right inside the book.

Vivid moments stay in our active memory for a long time. And when you read an exciting story like Sherlock Holmes, filled with such striking scenes, linking the learning of new words and phrases to those vivid moments helps retain the vocabulary in long-term memory — naturally and effortlessly.

Questions & answers
What’s the point of paying for this book if I can just copy text into Google Translate?
Constantly switching back and forth between a book and an external translator is the most inconvenient part of reading literature in a foreign language. You’ll quickly get tired of this constant context switching and, in all likelihood, give up reading altogether. To solve this core problem, we’ve implemented a built-in translator that activates instantly when you highlight any piece of text — no need to click anything extra or switch to another app. Our translator also understands and takes into account the context around the highlighted fragment, so the translation is as accurate as possible.
Why is there a subscription?
Unlike a paper book, a web book must always be online and requires ongoing maintenance. The more people read a web book, the more server resources are needed. That’s why our books are available through a subscription.
The subscription not only covers server and maintenance costs, but also supports the creation of new books. It allows us to make our books the way we envision them, rather than settling for less to save on production.
How to subscribe?
Click the «Buy full version» button in the bottom right corner of the current page. A panel will open at the bottom of the page. If you’re not logged in, we’ll ask you to enter your email address, and we’ll send you a payment link. After successful payment, you’ll be able to access your account on nikmas.studio using the same email you provided, and the full version of the book will be available to you. If you’re already logged in, simply click the «Proceed to payment» button in the panel that opens, and once the payment is successful, you’ll get full access to the book.
While you’re subscribed to the book, your access will automatically renew every year when your previously paid period ends. If you want to stop the recurring payments, just cancel your subscription.
How to cancel the subscription?
If you’re subscribed and logged in, you’ll see the «✓Subscription» green button in the bottom right corner. Click the green button — a panel will open at the bottom of the page with a «Cancel subscription» button. After you cancel your subscription, once your previously paid annual period ends, the book will become unavailable. Whenever you wish, you can start your subscription again.
