LighTL reads your novel sequentially from Chapter 1—remembering characters, context, and narrative threads across every chapter.
Free credits • No credit card required
Here's what happens when the AI doesn't remember who speaks how:
The protagonist returns to the forest. Ai (a girl) ran out to greet him. Nina is explaining why Ai left the safety of the forest.
LighTL remembers that Nina consistently refers to the protagonist as "あんた" (anta). With this context, LighTL correctly identifies the speaker as Nina. The competitor translated without character-specific context and misidentified the speaker.
Try it yourself: Click the expand buttons in the LighTL panel to see the original Japanese, speaker identification, and translator notes. This is the actual UI you'll use in the app—what you see here is exactly what you get.
Three approaches to translating novels—understand the trade-offs:
Google Translate, DeepL, etc.
General-purpose translation. Fast and cheap, but not designed for long-form fiction.
LLM-powered with glossaries
Better than basic MT, but glossaries are just dictionaries—the AI doesn't understand context or narrative.
Context-aware AI translation
The AI actually reads your novel sequentially. Highest quality, highest cost—you pay for real comprehension.
Free MT works for getting the gist. Glossary-based AI improves consistency. LighTL trades cost for comprehension—the AI actually understands what it's reading, not just pattern-matching words.
