About Web Reader Assistant

STOP PASSIVE SCROLLING. START DEEP READING. Do you finish a long article only to realize you’ve forgotten everything you just read? Most web reading is "passive." Our extension turns the web into an active workspace, helping you concentrate, scan faster, and actually internalize information. Whether you struggle with focus or simply have too much to read, this tool provides a scientific approach to digital literacy. --- KEY FEATURES --- SMART SKIM MODE (Bionic-Style) Scan text at lightning speed. By emphasizing the "anchor" parts of words and fading out auxiliary "stop words," your brain focuses on the core logic: Who did what, and why. GUIDED READING OVERLAY Keep your place and reduce eye strain. Use an adjustable color band or spotlight to guide your eyes through dense blocks of text without losing your line. INFORMATION HEAT MAP Stop wasting time on fluff. Our topographic scrollbar marks paragraphs with high information density in red. Quickly distinguish between core insights and "word salad" at a glance. AI-POWERED COMPREHENSION (BYO API Key) Summarize: Condense long sections instantly. Definition: Get technical context for difficult terms. Explain Simply: Converts complex jargon into analogies and plain language. Ask Anything: Query the text directly without leaving the page and copy text into your AI chatbot window. Text-to-Speech: Listen while you read to boost multi-modal learning. --- THE FEYNMAN METHOD: MASTER WHAT YOU READ --- Don't just read—prove you understand it. Use our built-in tools based on the renowned Feynman Technique: Generate Quiz: Test your knowledge based on your selected text. Reflect & Write: Prompt yourself to summarize the concept in your own words. --- WORKFLOW & INTEGRATION --- SYNC TO NOTION: Save your summaries, AI explanations, and personal reflections directly to your Notion workspace with one click. --- SETUP & PRIVACY --- FREE FEATURES: Reading modes, overlays, and Text-to-Speech work immediately out of the box. AI & NOTION: Notion features are free but require a one-time setup. AI tools require you to input your own API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, etc.). YOUR DATA: We value privacy. Your settings are stored locally in Chrome sync. Text is only sent to external providers (like OpenAI or Notion) when you explicitly trigger those features. WE DO NOT COLLECT YOUR API KEY OR NOTES Transform your browser into a powerhouse for learning. Install now and start reading with purpose.
