Good to see a sharp uptick in luteposting after I started posting about it on here. It’s really excellent. I’ve been using it to revisit Latin and I feel like my ability to tackle texts has increased tenfold even just looking at a normal book unassisted. It’s like reading with training wheels.

Idk. I use Lute. But I’d say what it does is massively reduces the mental barrier to entry for reading by reducing visual clutter, and tracks what you know. Basically, if I picked up a new language, I probably wouldn’t get much out of reading native texts day 1. With Lute it makes deep textual analysis much easier and more approachable, and as you progress it makes it easier for a text to stop being intensive, and become extensive reading practice.

Lute isn’t Yomitan tho, it looks up words in whatever dictionary/thesaurus/sentence analyzers you customize it to. But you build your own pop-up dictionary. It also stores every single time you have encountered a given word before in a sentence bank.

Basically it takes all the distracting parts of reading a new language and makes it as efficient as possible so you can focus on reading.
