re/read - read offline, translate and learn troch Fundacja Reborn

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.
