Web Reader Assistant Extension

Struggling to Focus While Reading? Transform Your Reading Experience!

Introducing my innovative Chrome extension designed to help you engage deeply with text and truly internalize what you read. If you often find it challenging to concentrate and remember key information, this tool is for you. Leveraging the renowned Feynman Technique—widely regarded as one of the best learning strategies—our extension enables you to actively engage with content instead of just skimming or listening passively.

Why Choose this Extension?

Many of us face the same dilemma: we force ourselves to read, sometimes even at 1.5x speed, only to realize we haven’t actually absorbed anything. With daily reading demands, it’s crucial to turn this task into a productive and effective experience. After extensive research and trial-and-error, I've developed features that make reading manageable and rewarding.

Key Features:
1. Bionic Reading: Break long paragraphs into manageable sentences with a color overlay, enhancing your focus and comprehension.

2. Article Structure Analysis: Automatically highlight key sentences based on article types to make long article manageable—whether it’s definitions, wiki-like documents, or opinion piece—tailored to your content.

3. Jump-to-Sentence Functionality: Click on highlighted sentences to navigate directly to their location in the original article for seamless reading.

4. Layman's Terms Explanation: Complex concepts are simplified with relatable examples, making learning accessible—like explaining to a 10-year-old!

5. Quiz Me: Test your understanding with engaging quizzes that transform reading into an interactive experience. Perfect for those of us who thrive on dynamic activities to stay focused!

6. Active Summarization: Quickly summarize selected paragraphs to maintain engagement without the urge to skim.

7. Reflection Note-Taking: Internalize what you learn by taking reflective notes, practicing the Feynman Technique to reinforce your understanding.

8. Feedback on Your Notes: Receive constructive feedback to improve your note-taking and deepen your comprehension.

9. Text-to-Speech: Listen to selected text read aloud, catering to different learning styles.

10. Dynamic Article Analysis: Different content types require different focus areas; my extension helps you identify and break down important parts effectively.
