  description

  FlowRead turns any webpage into an audio experience — articles, docs, PDFs, anything. It goes far beyond basic TTS with a full suite of smart reading tools.
  
  Core Features:
  
  ▶ Smart Reader — reads any page aloud with word-level highlighting and clean Reader Mode that strips ads and clutter
  
  📌 Resume Positions — automatically saves where you stopped and picks up where you left off, per page
  
  📋 Reading Queue — queue multiple pages to play back-to-back; right-click any page to add it
  
  😴 Sleep Timer — stops playback automatically after 15, 30, or 60 minutes
  
  🤖 AI Summaries — generates a 3-sentence AI summary of any page before you commit to reading it (requires Anthropic API key)
  
  📖 Section Navigation — jump between headings like chapters using ⏮/⏭ buttons or the Sections panel
  
  📖 Pronunciation Dictionary — define custom phonetic rules for acronyms and names
  
  🎯 Focus Dim Mode — darkens the page except for the sentence currently being read
  
  📊 Reading History & Stats — tracks time read today, this week, articles completed, and words heard
  
  ⬇ Export to Audio — download any page as an MP3 file for offline listening
  
  Privacy First: All data is stored locally on your device. No account required. No servers. No ads. Ever.
