## Description

While reading your physical book, ask HeyReader about any term you don't understand, and it answers out loud.

That way you stay focused on the page.

What you need:
1. A physical book
2. The PDF of the book on your device

Using HeyReader:
1. Upload PDF
2. Pick up your physical copy and start reading
3. Whisper "Hey Reader" to ask questions, and hear the answers

*Answers come directly from the book's pages.

New terms in your book send you to ChatGPT or Google on your phone. Every switch makes it less likely you come back to the reading.
(According to Microsoft and UC Irvine researchers, "it takes 23 minutes to resume an interrupted task”.¹)

HeyReader searches your book and says the answers aloud, so you get the help you need while staying focused on the book.

Questions from real sessions:
“In Chapter 3, define a stack trace." - Pragmatic Programmer
"Define analogous, Chapter 1." - Deep Learning
"What's the name for the symbol that looks like a U in chapter 8?" - Deep Learning
