Read carefully.The words you don't own
will tell you, in context,
what they mean.
Paragrasp turns any passage you're studying into an annotated manuscript. Mark the words that slow you down; we keep the line where you found them, so you build a vocabulary bank from what you actually read — not from a list.

How a reading becomes a vocabulary bank.
§ 02- step 01
Drop in a passage.
An IELTS reading, an article, a chapter excerpt. Each word becomes a token you can touch.
- step 02
Mark what slows you down.
Click a word. We hold it, with the sentence around it, so you'll recognise it the next time you meet it.
- step 03
Keep the bank close.
Return for review, or export. Nothing on this list came from anywhere you weren't already reading.
We don't give you a word list.We give you the line the word lives in.
Vocabulary cards that arrive without context die in a week. A sentence you read, with the word removed, stays in your working memory considerably longer.
Paragrasp keeps the sentence intact. It keeps the position in the passage. It keeps, where it can, the page you were on when you first reached for a dictionary. That's the entire pitch.
