ClaviSay

ClaviSay is an AI-powered reading and language-learning tool for studying Chinese with English support or English with Chinese support. Its workflow combines reading, contextual language assistance, saved learning materials, and later review across supported experiences.

What it does

ClaviSay lets users import articles, webpages, PDFs, pasted text, videos, or audio transcripts for language study. While reading, users can select words, phrases, sentences, or paragraphs to receive contextual translations, dictionary assistance, and explanations of grammar and usage. They can then save vocabulary, expressions, sentences, and notes together with the original context for later review.

The service describes saved learning assets as available across its web workspace, browser extension, and iOS experience. Android is listed as coming soon. ClaviSay is operated by ETOILEE PTE. LTD., according to the company’s privacy policy.

Notable capabilities

• Bilingual reading support for Chinese-English and English-Chinese learning.
• Contextual translation and dictionary help for selected words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs.
• Grammar and usage explanations connected to the selected text.
• Saving vocabulary, expressions, sentences, and notes with their surrounding context.
• Import and translation workflows for webpages and PDFs, alongside support for pasted text, videos, and audio transcripts.

How it fits a workflow

The product presents a “Read. Understand. Save. Review” process. A learner can bring in content they want to study, read it with bilingual assistance, investigate unfamiliar language in context, and save useful material rather than looking up isolated words separately. The saved items can then be reviewed later through ClaviSay’s supported web, browser-extension, or iOS experiences.

For webpages, ClaviSay documents a Chrome extension workflow that translates a supported public webpage in place. Users choose a target language and can compare the translation with the original. Restricted browser pages, blocked content, and pages without readable text may not be supported. More details are described in the AI webpage translator documentation.

For PDFs, the PDF translation workspace displays original text beside an aligned translation. The documented limits are PDF-only uploads, a maximum file size of 10 MB, and up to 20 pages. The listed target languages are Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and English. Users can download a translated or bilingual PDF and save vocabulary with page and surrounding-context information.

Who it helps

ClaviSay is intended for people learning Chinese through English or learning English through Chinese. It may be useful for learners who want to study imported articles, webpages, documents, videos, or audio transcripts and build a review collection from saved language materials.
