You are reading a book and part of words is marked with another color (depends on chosen level of knowledge if I get it right), and you can see all these words with translation and hear pronounce without switching to external dictionary. It saves a really lot of time. Just one minor problem - swipes for opening list of translated words and for switching to the next page are very similar, and need some practice (5 min for me) for doing it right.
