Welcome — let's read some real Thai
Load real Thai — paste your own, scan a page with your camera (Quick Start, below), or pick a sample below — then highlight any span you're unsure of. From there you can Look up a word or phrase, Translate a longer passage, or Test your comprehension: give the gist in English or rephrase it in your own Thai, and get checked on the meaning, not a literal translation. Set the theme, font, and size that suit you on the left — the reading is the point.
Hold steady, fill the frame, good light. ~20–30 cm away. Each photo or image is one page — capture or choose more to add pages.
Leave blank — the title is taken from the first scanned words.
Sign in to save your reading, grades, and notes. The guided demo works without an account.
Curated Thai with highlighted spans you can tap — try Look up, Translate, and comprehension instantly, no setup.
The demo is curated; the app reads any Thai URL. A couple to try:
Use Quick Start at the top to paste text, load a URL, or 📷 scan a page or a whole chapter with your camera — we OCR the Thai into a reading you can look up, translate, and test. Good free text/URL sources:
- Graded / beginner: FluencyDrop, PolyThai Reader, Bloom Library — read there, copy a passage to paste.
- News: BBC ไทย, Thai PBS, Prachatai — open an article, load its URL.
- Literature / encyclopedia: Thai Wikisource, Thai Wikipedia — load by URL.
Installing gives you a full-screen, app-like reader with no browser address bar — the calmest way to read.
- iPhone / iPad (Safari): tap the Share button (the square with an up-arrow), then Add to Home Screen.
- Android (Chrome): tap the ⋮ menu, then Add to Home screen (it may also say Install app).
Then open Practice Thai from your home screen.
Add a Thai keyboard in your phone's settings, then tap the 🌐 key to switch to it while typing.
- iPhone: Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → ไทย
- Android: Settings → System → Languages & input → your keyboard → Languages → add ไทย
