SimpleTextReader

SimpleTextReader is a powerful Chrome extension designed for users who want a simple yet efficient way to read local text files. It supports drag-and-drop file opening, automatic text encoding detection, and quick handling of large files. The extension intelligently detects book and author names from file names and automatically extracts chapter titles using regular expressions. It enhances the reading experience with auto-styled footnotes, removal of text ads, and fun features like generating book seal stamps and cover arts.

Recent updates introduce a brand new settings menu and support for custom fonts by allowing users to drag and drop TTF or OTF font files directly into the interface. Additionally, it includes twelve web fonts (requiring internet) for diverse typography options, support for browser history navigation, and a modern UI design that adapts language based on the text file opened. SimpleTextReader also saves your reading progress automatically, making it an excellent tool for avid readers who prefer local text documents.
