Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that the powerful text-to-speech player from PNL Reader has now been integrated into Dictionariez. This exciting new feature makes language learning more accessible and convenient than ever before.

What's New?

With TTS Pro, you can now:

Select any text on any webpage and have it read aloud instantly Support for multiple languages with realistic AI voices High-quality pronunciation that surpasses many existing solutions Seamless integration that works across all websites

For Swedish learners specifically, I'm confident you'll find our AI voices significantly better than what's available on 8sidor and other platforms. The natural intonation and pronunciation make it perfect for improving your listening comprehension and pronunciation skills.

The Technology Behind It

As always, Dictionariez remains open-source, so you can explore the implementation yourself on our GitHub repository. Here's what makes this feature special:

Web Components Architecture: I've wrapped the entire TTS player using web components with shadow DOM Complete Isolation: The player operates independently from the host website's context No Interference: Scripts and styles from the original website won't affect Dictionariez, and vice versa Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly across all websites, including complex applications like Epic Games login pages

This technical approach ensures reliability and compatibility while maintaining the integrity of both the original website and our extension.

Pricing and Availability

Since TTS Pro utilizes premium AI services that incur costs per request, this feature is included in our PNL Pro plan. However, I believe in letting you experience the quality first-hand, so I've included a generous free trial for everyone.

Happy learning! 🌍📚

Hi, language learners and fellow ebookworms! Hope you’re all having a good weekend, or at least finding a little time to read between everything else. I’m excited to announce that PNL Reader 2.0 is here! This release brings the first Pro feature—voice mode—and a host of enhancements to the reading experience.

Listen Up! (Or Don’t—It’s Your Choice) 🔊

Ever find yourself reading a long article or web novel on RoyalRoad or ScribbleHub and wishing someone would just read it to you while you sip your coffee and look thoughtful? Wish granted! With the new audio player, you can now select any text and have PNL Reader read it aloud.
This read aloud feature is part of the Pro plan, but everyone gets a free trial quota of 100 uses—so you can try it out and see if it fits your reading style.
Even better, the audio mode automatically detects the language of the text and supports as many languages as you can think of. Learning Swedish? Give it a try and see if it’s better than 8sidor.se! Whether you want to practice your listening skills, rest your eyes, or just hear what your favorite web novel sounds like in a near-human-yet-still-robotic voice, the choice is yours. And if you prefer the sound of silence, you can still read quietly with a paper-feel background like it’s 2008.

Themes for Every Mood 🎨

We’ve also given the theme selector a glow-up. Not only can you switch between dark mode, light mode, and a whole palette of other themes, but you’ll also see a handy color preview icon for each one. No more guessing what “Solarized Light” actually looks like—just click and see. Now you can match your reading mood, your wallpaper, or even your cat’s fur color (no judgment).

A Reading Page That Looks Like Paper (But Won’t Give You Papercuts) 📄

The reading page has been prettified with a sharper background, border, and shadow that make it look like a real sheet of paper—minus the risk of paper cuts or coffee stains. It’s easier on the eyes and just feels right, whether you’re reading late at night or pretending to work during a Zoom call.

PDF Support: Now Featuring arXiv and more 📑

For the academics and research enthusiasts among you, PNL Reader now supports loading PDFs from arXiv and a bunch of other sites. For example, you can open a research paper like https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.10028v4 or https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00134-020-06294-x.pdf in your browser. Then, just click the PNL Reader icon—PNL Reader will automatically open the PDF in its distraction-free reader mode. Even better, it’s fully integrated with Dictionariez, so you can look up any word in the PDF instantly with a click. Reading academic papers (and actually understanding them) could be much easier!

Still the Same Great Dictionary Integration 📚

And don’t forget, PNL Reader still plays nicely with Dictionariez, so you can click any word and instantly see what it means. Because who has time to open a new tab just to look up “defenestration”?

Open-source and download links 👩‍💻

Full transparency is still the key. PNL Reader is open source, so it’s available for anyone to review and contribute to.
Chrome: PNL Reader on Chrome Web Store
Firefox: PNL Reader on Mozilla Add-ons
Edge: PNL Reader on Edge Web Store
