What BookSlice is
BookSlice is an AI reader for people with limited reading time. It handles EPUB files, PDFs and web articles, and offers instant translation, pronunciation and definitions of difficult text across 118+ languages.
Machine learning is used to suggest reading times, so the product sits closer to a reading companion than to an automatic summariser.

Who it is for
- Language learners reading foreign material

What to watch out for
