Description
Select AI – Smart Selection Explainer
Annotate, understand, and translate text instantly with AI-powered context awareness.
Why Select AI?
Most translation tools give you shallow, context-free results. Select AI extracts 2,000-10,000 tokens of surrounding context before analyzing—delivering explanations that actually make sense in context.
Key Features:
🤖 AI-Powered Explanation
Not just translation. Select text and get intelligent explanations that understand meaning, tone, and nuance from the surrounding content.
🌊 Streaming Responses
Watch AI generate answers in real-time. No waiting for complete responses.
📖 Japanese Learning Suite
- Ruby annotations (furigana) show kanji pronunciation
- Text-to-speech reads origin content or translations aloud
Perfect for Japanese learners.
🖼️ OCR Recognition
Right-click any image or take a screenshot to extract and explain text instantly.
🌐 Bilingual Translation
Choose between inline explanations or side-by-side bilingual subtitles for full-page translations.
