re/read - read offline, translate and learn

Read web articles and EPUB books offline - and learn the language you read them in. Nothing you read leaves your device.

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, 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. - EPUB books imported with their table of contents and split into chapters. - Every document reopens where you stopped reading. - A highlighter in four inks with notes (marks from one document or from the whole reading list export as Markdown files of quotes). - Search inside the open text and across the whole reading list. - Text to speech with the spoken word highlighted, speed control and pause. - Light, sepia and dark themes, a choice of typefaces, text size and column width. Links can be hidden. 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. - 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. - A "Learned" button that takes the underline off the words you have mastered. - A vocabulary page with editing, filtering and search. - Export and import in TSV format (fully compatible with Anki). PLAIN READER MODE - "Use without translation" switches the language features off and turns the extension into an ordinary reader, monolingual dictionaries (definitions) included. PRIVACY AND SECURITY - No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry, no analytics, no ads. - The extension goes online only when you ask it to, while downloading language models or dictionaries. - 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. - No matching of inflected forms (a saved "read" does not underline "reading"). - 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
