The Ebi_English application allows users to study English by importing personal PDF, DOCX, or TXT documents. Users can click on unknown words to view translations and save them as flashcards for spaced repetition. The app currently contains 11,124 flashcards and 300 decks covering grammar, irregular verbs, and professional topics.
The software operates locally in browsers like Chrome or Edge using SQLite and sql.js, requiring no server setup or subscription fees. Users can integrate external AI services via API keys for chat and speech recognition, such as Groq. The application supports exporting progress data, though it lacks automatic cross-device synchronization.
The tool is designed for users who prefer working with their own materials, such as technical reports or specific industry texts. It functions without a subscription model, unlike platforms like LingQ, which impose limits on saved words and document imports for free users.
The developer notes that the app does not perform OCR on scanned documents and relies on browser storage limits. While the core functionality works offline, translations may require network requests to services like MyMemory if the word is not found in the local cache or FreeDict.
