  Key features
  ==========
  
  📖 Smart Word Segmentation
  ---
  Thai doesn't use spaces between words, making it challenging even for advanced learners to know where to break sentences. Kaprao uses sophisticated algorithms and a comprehensive dictionary to automatically find word boundaries—just hover and read!
  
  🔤 Comprehensive Dictionary (140,000+ entries)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  - Core dataset: Volubilis dictionary (~110,000 hand-curated entries)
  - Supplemented with ~30,000 entries from Wiktionary (English & Thai)
  - Rigorously cleaned for consistency and accuracy
  
  🌍 Transliterations of Foreign Words (50,000+ entries)
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  An unprecedented dataset of foreign words, personal names, and place names mined from Thai Wikipedia—essential for reading news, social media, and real-world content.
  
  🎨 Multiple Thai Fonts for Better Recognition
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Thai word shapes change dramatically across fonts. Build stronger recognition skills by switching between:
  - Loopless (modern, clean)
  - Looped (traditional)
  - Playful (casual)
  - Handwritten (challenging but authentic)
  
  🔊 Audio Pronunciation
  ------------------------------------
  Hear how words are pronounced with built-in text-to-speech support.
  
  ✨ Modified AUA-style Romanization
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  Clear, learner-friendly phonetic transcription using one of the most popular romanization systems for Thai.
