Highlights the first two letters, not syllables.

This is a great plugin. Simple, and it seems to work on every page, and within other reader plugins. For example, it works within the Just Read plugin. For me it's the best reading experience besides a physical book.

very good! i like it a lot, it works automatically, and it seems like its the only one who does it, i only have 2 requests for the next version, make .PDFs opened in chrome be converted automatically when you open it and make discord messages be converted in real time, sometimes the extension works with discord but its 1 times out of 5 only, thats the only things i request! thank you so so so so much for this!!!
