About this extension
FingerRead brings finger tracking to the browser: select a passage, turn the scroll wheel, and a highlight moves through the text. Scroll quickly and it skips ahead; scroll slowly and it advances one character at a time. It pauses briefly at sentence ends so you never lose your place.

Unlike text-to-speech, there is no preset reading speed — your hand sets the pace.

Highlights
· Select and scroll — nothing to configure
· Character or word stepping (Chinese word segmentation; word mode needs a membership, available during the trial)
· Works on real pages: shadow DOM, nested scroll containers, dynamically loaded content, contenteditable editors
· Drops the session when the text changes underneath you, so no stale highlight is left behind
· Privacy first: highlighting happens inside the page. The text you read is never uploaded; the server only stores your email and membership state
· Membership is tied to your email account: up to 3 authorized devices per account, and you can revoke any device from the options page at any time
· Install the Firefox build right here; Chrome and Edge builds are in store review and will be announced once live

FingerRead 把「指读」搬到浏览器里:选中一段文字,滚动滚轮,高亮就沿着文字推进。
滑得快,它跳得远;滑得慢,它一个字一个字地走。遇到句尾会短暂停留半拍,让你跟得上。

不像语音朗读,无需预设语速——节奏完全由你的手决定。

主要特性
· 选中即用:选中文本后滚动即可,不需要任何设置
· 按字或按词:中文默认按字,可切换为按词(按词需要会员,试用期内同样可用)
· 适配真实网页:Shadow DOM、嵌套滚动容器、动态加载内容、contenteditable 编辑器
· 内容变化即失效:页面文字被改动时会话自动丢弃,不会留下错位的高亮
· 隐私优先:高亮完全在页面内完成,你阅读的正文不会上传;服务器只保存邮箱与会员状态
· 会员绑定邮箱账号:同一账号最多同时授权 3 台设备,可在设置页随时撤销一台、换登新设备
· 本页面即可安装 Firefox 版;Chrome 与 Edge 版正在商店审核中,通过后另行公布

适用于学习、校对、精读长文,以及任何希望「眼睛不掉行、节奏自己定」的阅读场景。
