Description
Start with a public-domain classic, or bring your own English book (Pro). Readii splits every chapter into three-minute episodes and turns them into a multi-voice audio drama — each word lit as it's read aloud. Tap any word for what it means in that sentence, not a dictionary entry. Idioms and cultural references explained the moment you hit them. Subtitles in six languages. The original text is never altered; every aid lives in an overlay. No streaks. First two chapters free, no signup.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic text display are simple, but creating multi-voice dramatized audio with word-level forced alignment and contextual in-line semantic annotations requires complex AI pipelines.
What it would actually take: The stack needs an orchestration pipeline that uses LLMs for script dramatization (character parsing and stage directions), multi-speaker voice synthesis (ElevenLabs or similar TTS), and forced-alignment tools (like Gentle or WhisperX) to achieve word-level highlight synchronization. Managing audio generation costs, latency, and precise multi-speaker alignment across entire books is technically demanding.
