TextLingo 2 review
Study languages through your own reading, with vocabulary, grammar, translation, and AI help.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TextLingo 2 is an AI-assisted language-learning and reading app for learners who want to study with material they choose, such as articles, lyrics, news, and novels. It imports URLs and common document formats, then supports immersive reading with real-time language switching. Contextual vocabulary explanations, grammar parsing, translation, pronunciation guidance, and questions about highlighted text connect reading with language support. Its document-led approach suits readers who already have material they want to understand; learners seeking a course organized around lessons may prefer a different format.
Its central strength is the range of help attached to imported text. Learners can extract vocabulary, examine grammar, hear pronunciation guidance and correction, and ask interactive AI questions about highlighted passages. The product also lists spaced-repetition vocabulary review on iOS. It is available on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS, and supports OpenAI-compatible APIs. The project is open source and is described by its official repository as having been renamed OpenKoto. These features make it a fit for reading-centered study across devices, though the specific review feature is tied to iOS.
The free plan includes 1,000 credits, analysis and reading for 5 articles, a 2 novel-reading quota, and a 1,000 flashcard memorization quota. PLUS adds 20,000 monthly credits, unlimited flashcard memorization, and 20 novel/article spaces; PRO offers 30,000 monthly credits, unlimited custom flashcards, and 50 spaces. MAX provides 60,000 monthly credits, 200 spaces, and dedicated customer support. Choose it if personal texts are the core of your learning routine and these quotas match your needs. It is less suited to learners who want a conventional lesson sequence or whose preferred review workflow is not on iOS.
