About Novli

Novli, formerly Readly, helps learners read Chinese in the wild. Snap a photo of a textbook page, novel, social post, or lecture notes and tap any word to see its translation and pinyin, hear audio playback, or ask AI questions about the passage. Words can be saved into Anki-style flashcards with spaced repetition for long-term retention. The app needs no account, stores reading data locally on the device, and offers optional subscription upgrades.
