Where Laesi is headed.
This is a direction, not a set of promises — and nothing here has a date. When something's ready, it simply lands in an update. Buy Laesi once and the updates are included.
Already taking shape
Polysynthetic language support
AlphaMorpheme-level tokenizing and tracking for languages like Kalaallisut and Central Ojibwa, where one word can be a whole sentence. As far as we know, no other reader app does this at all.
On the list
More lemmatizers
PlannedBÍN for Icelandic, then Stanza, CLTK, TartuNLP and Apertium — bringing real morphology to more agglutinative and classical languages. See the lemmatizers page.
Mobile & e-ink sync
PlannedA lighter companion client to sync your library and vocabulary to the desktop — Android and e-ink (Boox) first, iOS to follow. The groundwork is in; the client itself is still ahead.
Bulk vocabulary import
PlannedImport existing word lists in bulk — including vocabulary brought across from another reading app — instead of building up from scratch.
CJK languages
PlannedChinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Cantonese — which need character-based segmentation rather than Laesi's current word tokenizer.
RTL languages
PlannedRight-to-left scripts like Arabic and Hebrew, which need layout and tokenization work the current reader doesn't yet do.
Separable & split verbs
PlannedProper handling of separable-prefix verbs and discontinuous constructions (German ju … desto …) as single tracked units.
Habit tracker & sprints
PlannedSet 90-day sprints and goals and track your reading habit over time, not just your vocabulary.
iOS client
PlannedA companion reader for iPhone and iPad, syncing to the desktop like the Android client.
In-app localization
PlannedA non-English interface. Laesi works best for English speakers today; that shouldn't stay true forever.
Cloud LLM keys
PlannedOptional API-key support so the AI features can call a hosted model directly, in addition to the paste-based workflow.
