SensewardGo Beyond Translation
Understanding a passage takes more than knowing each word. Senseward helps you work through books and audiobooks with contextual explanations, sentence replay and chapter questions. Explore an unfamiliar expression, clarify an important idea, and keep useful vocabulary connected to its source. Return to it through review and AI-generated practice.
Senseward requires macOS 26 or later, or an iPad with iPadOS 26 or later.

- See learning words in the chapter and track review progress.
- Export vocabulary to Anki when you want to study there.
