Frequently asked questions

What kind of content can I read in Parrot?

Every video in Parrot is fully transcribed: native speakers talking about travel, food, culture, relationships, and more.

How does swipe-to-translate work?

Tap or highlight any word or phrase in the transcript and the English translation appears inline. The lookup is instant.

Can I save words I highlight?

Yes. Phrases you highlight get saved to your personal dictionary, then reviewed using spaced repetition.

How does reading help with pronunciation?

Reading every syllable while hearing it pronounced strengthens both skills at once.

Is Parrot only for beginners?

No. Parrot works for learners at all levels. Beginners benefit from scaffolding; advanced learners benefit from authentic native-speaker content.

Do I need to pick a reading level?

No. The library is curated and the app adapts as you progress. Progression is automatic.

How is Parrot different from Readlang or LingQ?

Readlang and LingQ require you to import your own content. Parrot's library is already there, fully transcribed and paired with native-speaker audio.

Can I use Parrot on my commute or during breaks?

Yes. Each video is a few minutes long, so you can read and watch during your commute, lunch break, or before bed.
