Learn languagesby reading books.

Kalima supports major book and document formats including EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, KF8, FB2, FBZ, TXT, MD, HTML, and RTF, plus URL extraction and camera scans.

Core reading and vocabulary workflows are local-first. Google/Firebase language assistance, Inworld AI voices, sync, and other network features require a connection.

Review at intervals that adapt to what you remember.

Yes. Kalima requires a real account. Core reading and vocabulary processing remains local-first, while eligible premium accounts can synchronize supported data across devices.

Yes. Kalima's Discovery library lets you browse and read public-domain classics in many languages, alongside anything you import yourself.

Yes. Free users use Apple device text-to-speech. Kalima Pro always uses Inworld for read-aloud, sending speech text and voice settings directly between the app and Inworld after Firebase mints an authorization token. Kalima Pro never falls back to Apple text-to-speech if Inworld playback fails.

Kalima Pro offers monthly and annual auto-renewing subscriptions. Eligible new subscribers may receive a 7-day free trial on either plan; Apple determines eligibility, which is shared across the subscription group. Your localized price is shown before purchase.

Free includes up to 3 imported books and 200 saved words. Kalima Pro removes these limits and adds AI voices and sync for eligible books, vocabulary and progress across devices. Both plans require an account.

The app’s learning-language selector includes English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Hebrew. Voice and pronunciation-recognition availability depends on the language and device; a language choice does not guarantee every speech feature.
