Study in your language

Keep the passage and the practice together.

The Library holds your source material so you can return to it after a quiz. For printed pages, Camera can extract text, and selected OCR text can be spoken or translated.

Explore multilingual flashcards from your material

Start with a short passage

Give the quiz a clear source rather than a broad topic.

Check OCR before studying

Review scanned text so a misread word does not change the meaning.

Return to the evidence

Compare answers with the original passage and its wording.
