re/read - read offline, keep a library, learn

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 - Any web page turned into clean text (Alt+Shift+R, the toolbar icon, the right-click menu, or the bubble over a selection). - Articles kept for good in the local reading list - available with no connection, even after the original page is taken down. - An article's pictures downloaded with one press ("Download pictures" in the reader's menu) - stored with the article, available offline. - Import of EPUB books (table of contents, footnotes, pictures) and of Markdown texts (.md). - The "Pages" layout: the text divided into pages instead of scrolling; pages turned with a tap, by sliding a finger, with the keys or with the mouse wheel. - Every document reopens where you stopped reading. - The number of words and the approximate reading time of every text. - A highlighter in four colours with notes (the highlights of one document or of the whole reading list can be exported as Markdown files of quotes). - An article or a book exported as an EPUB or Markdown file. - A backup of everything in one file (the reading list, the highlights, the saved phrases and the settings), or an export of only the articles and books you tick ("Select"); import without duplicates. - Search inside the open text and across the whole reading list. - A safety copy of the reading list, the highlights and the saved phrases in the extension's own storage - if the browser ever clears the database, the data is restored from it automatically. - Reading aloud 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. - Light, sepia, dark and E-ink themes (E-ink for e-ink screens), a choice of typefaces (also a font of your own from the device), text size, column width, line spacing, alignment and hyphenation. Links can be hidden. - Full screen in the reader and on re/read's other pages. TRANSLATION AND OFFLINE DICTIONARIES - Single words and phrases translated in a bubble above the selected text. - The Bergamot engine (the technology known from Firefox), running entirely on your device. - About 100 language pairs to download and work with, with no internet access. - More than 400 WikDict dictionaries, and your own dictionaries in StarDict format (from files or from a link). - Dictionary entries under the translation in the bubble; a meaning you click is saved with the phrase. - A field for looking up a word in your dictionaries, in re/read's toolbar popup. - The pronunciation of a selected word or phrase, read aloud. LEARNING VOCABULARY - Saved phrases are underlined automatically on every page you visit and in the books you read. - The "Learned" button removes a phrase's underlines and moves the phrase to the "Learned" list; from that list the phrase can be moved back to learning or deleted. - The option "Underline other forms of saved words": after you save "read", "reads" and "reading" are underlined too (English only for now, with a dictionary installed). - The option "Save the sentence with the phrase": the sentence is shown under the phrase and written to the file for Anki. - A vocabulary page with editing, filtering and search. - Export and import in TSV format (fully compatible with Anki). PLAIN READER MODE - The option "Use without a translation model" switches machine translation off. The reader, the offline reading list, the highlighter, reading aloud, dictionaries (monolingual ones too) and saved phrases work as before. - The option "Do not show the bubble when selecting text": on ordinary pages nothing appears when you select text, and in the reader a selection only highlights the text. SETTINGS - A settings page divided into sections, with a list of sections and a search field for settings. - The "Data and copies" section: how much space the models, the dictionaries, the reading list and the backups use. - The extension switched off on the sites you choose. - Custom CSS for the bubble, the reader and re/read's toolbar popup. PRIVACY AND SECURITY - No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry, no analytics, no ads. - The extension connects to the network only at your request: to download language models or dictionaries and to update their lists, and - after you press "Download pictures" in the reader's menu - to download a saved article's pictures from the site the article comes from. - The source code is open (AGPL-3.0), published on GitHub and shipped unminified. WHAT THE EXTENSION DOES NOT DO - No built-in spaced repetition (SRS) - export your words and phrases to Anki (in TSV) for that. - Other forms of a saved word are recognised in English only for now; in other languages only the exact form you saved is underlined. - No content inside embedded frames (iFrames). 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. Source code, issues and privacy policy: https://github.com/fundacja-reborn/reread-webext
