pimReader is a reader that turns what you read into what you know. This page names every main feature, says what each one is for, and links to the guide that shows it in use. Start with the section that matches what you are trying to do.
Nobody runs out of things to read. What runs out is the evening. Here are three tools in pimReader's reader that decide what deserves it: a summary before you commit, answers from the text itself, and news ranked by what it means to you.
Reading builds vocabulary. Speaking is a separate skill, and it is the one most self-taught learners never practise. pimReader now runs entirely spoken sessions — it talks, you talk back, and the results go into the same review schedule.
Most reading apps stop at the last page. pimReader keeps going — turning what you read into lessons, flashcards, and a repetition schedule that survives the weeks after you close the book. Here is the whole loop, end to end.
pimReader is not just for language learners. Here is a concrete path for reading a serious non-fiction book and still knowing what was in it a year later — using notes, AI-generated flashcards, and spaced repetition.
A twelve-week path from no Spanish to reading a real novel — using vocabulary tracking, AI-built lessons, spaced repetition, and spoken practice. The same path works for any language pimReader supports.
Exam preparation is different from general learning: there is a syllabus, a deadline, and a scoring rubric. Here is how to use pimReader when you need a specific result on a specific date.
Certification study means a fat PDF, a syllabus, and evenings after work. Here is a path through it using generated lessons, memo folders, and a repetition schedule that fits around a job.
Keeping up with a fast-moving field is a reading problem and a memory problem at once. Here is how to build a feed that surfaces what matters, and keep the handful of facts worth keeping.
Everyone agrees flashcards work. Almost nobody makes them, because making them is tedious. pimReader removes the tedium — you select the content, the assistant writes the cards, and you keep the good ones.
Spaced repetition has been around since the 1980s, and most apps still schedule reviews the way they did then. pimReader now uses FSRS — here is what changed, and why you will notice.
Reading in the language you are learning is the largest amount of real input you can get in a day. What stops most people is the cost of every lookup. pimReader is built to make a lookup cost nothing, and to turn the words you look up into a review schedule that brings them back.
The reading you mean to do is spread across a bookshelf app, a browser's tabs, a feed reader and a notes app, and nothing in one of them can find anything in another. pimReader puts all of it in one library, with one search and one reading view. Here is how to set it up so it stays usable.
