A tool to help users read text more easily by highlighting key parts of speech

Description from store
Readsy parses text on webpages to determine each text item's part-of-speech and then adds user directed background highlighting or font color shading around each word based on its classification type. The aim is to allow users to skim through material faster than normal by emphasizing parts-of-speech such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives, while de-emphasizing parts-of-speech such as prepositions and conjuctions.
Users can change which parts-of-speech are highlighted, change the color of the highlights, and save their own color templates.
Readsy does not run automatically. Instead, a floating button is added to the browser window in the top left corner which a user can click on to execute the part-of-speech parsing. This takes all the text on the page and sends it to an API which parses through all of the text and sends back a data-object containing each word and its classification. Readsy then takes this data-object, parses through the page HTML and encapsulates each text-item with the appropriate classification.

- (2025-01-14) Sami Rashidi: Dear Readsy Developer's Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for creating the Readsy extension. It has been an incredible tool that has significantly improved my online reading experience. While I thoroughly enjoy using Readsy on web pages, I was wondering if it would be possible to extend its functionality to also support PDFs opened in browsers. This feature would be immensely beneficial for users like me who often read PDF documents directly in the browser and could greatly enhance productivity and accessibility. Thank you once again for your excellent work on this project. I look forward to seeing how Readsy evolves in the future. Best regards,
