1. A computer-implemented method for a smart reading assistant, the computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting, by one or more processors, a language of a digital book opening by a user on a computing device;
identifying, by the one or more processors, a user reading capability level for the language of the digital book from a user profile for the user;
inputting, by the one or more processors, at least one in context meaning of potential unknown words based on the user reading capability level;
detecting, by the one or more processors, a user action by the user on the computing device, wherein the user action includes the user rereading a sentence of a current page, wherein eye tracking technology is used to detect the user action;
outputting, by the one or more processors, a request that prompts the user to input words from the sentence;
receiving, by the one or more processors, a response to the request, wherein the response includes a plurality of indicated words;
inputting, by the one or more processors, at least one in context meaning for each of the indicated words; and
updating, by the one or more processors, the user reading capability level based on the user action.
