## Description

re/read is a browser extension for reading web articles and EPUB books: whatever you open in it stays on your device and is there without an internet connection. If you read in a language you are learning, select a word or a phrase to see its translation or hear how it sounds. The words you select are then underlined wherever they come up again - in other articles and books too - until you click "Learned" in the bubble.

READER AND OFFLINE READING LIST
<ul><li>Any web page turned into clean text (Alt+Shift+R, the toolbar icon, or the bubble over a selection).</li><li>Articles kept for good in the local reading list - available with no connection, even after the original page is taken down.</li><li>An article's pictures downloaded with one press ("Download pictures" in the reader's menu) - stored with the article, available offline.</li><li>EPUB books imported with their table of contents and split into chapters.</li><li>Every document reopens where you stopped reading.</li><li>A highlighter in four inks with notes (marks from one document or from the whole reading list export as Markdown files of quotes).</li><li>The reading list exported to a file (JSON, or ZIP with the pictures) - all of it or only the articles you tick ("Select") - and imported without duplicates.</li><li>Search inside the open text and across the whole reading list.</li><li>A safety copy of the reading list, the highlights and the saved phrases in the extension's own storage - they come back by themselves if the browser ever clears the database.</li><li>Text to speech with the spoken word highlighted, speed control and pause - only with your device's offline voices, a voice per language; its own switch in the settings.</li><li>Light, sepia and dark themes, a choice of typefaces, text size and column width. Links can be hidden.</li></ul>
TRANSLATION AND OFFLINE DICTIONARIES
<ul><li>Single words and phrases translated in a bubble above the selected text.</li><li>The Bergamot engine (the technology known from Firefox), running entirely on your device.</li><li>About 100 language pairs to download and work with, with no internet access.</li><li>More than 400 WikDict dictionaries, and your own dictionaries in StarDict format.</li><li>The pronunciation of a selected word or phrase, read aloud.</li></ul>
LEARNING VOCABULARY
<ul><li>Saved phrases are underlined automatically on every page you visit and in the books you read.</li><li>A "Learned" button that takes the underline off the words you have mastered.</li><li>A vocabulary page with editing, filtering and search.</li><li>Export and import in TSV format (fully compatible with Anki).</li></ul>
PLAIN READER MODE
<ul><li>"Use without translation" switches the language features off and turns the extension into an ordinary reader, monolingual dictionaries (definitions) included.</li><li>A sub-option, "No bubble when selecting text", for those who select text to keep their place: ordinary pages are left alone, and in the reader a selection only highlights.</li></ul>
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
<ul><li>No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry, no analytics, no ads.</li><li>The extension goes online only when you ask it to: while downloading language models or dictionaries, and - after you press "Download pictures" in the reader's menu - to fetch a saved article's pictures from its own servers.</li><li>The source code is open (AGPL-3.0), published on GitHub and shipped unminified.</li></ul>
WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES NOT DO
<ul><li>No built-in spaced repetition (SRS) - export your words and phrases to Anki (in TSV) for that.</li><li>No matching of inflected forms (a saved "read" does not underline "reading").</li><li>No content inside embedded frames (iFrames).</li></ul>
INTERFACE LANGUAGES
Polish, English, German, French, Spanish and Ukrainian (the language follows the browser's settings automatically).

The extension is made by Fundacja Reborn - a Polish non-profit foundation.
