Readest is a project meant to facilitate reading, studying, or consuming content by integrating reading tools with AI-powered assistance. Although the repository is not as widely documented or popular as some, the idea is that Readest supports features to help with reading comprehension — likely combining OCR / text retrieval, translation, note-taking, or summarization for reading materials (eBooks, articles, PDFs). The goal appears to be to let users feed in arbitrary reading material and then interact with it (highlighting, translation, lookup, maybe TTS or summarization) more comfortably. Because of that, it's oriented towards learners, researchers, or people dealing with multilingual documents — especially when they need to rapidly digest or reference large amounts of text. The design seems to prioritize flexible input formats, possibly OCR or uploaded documents, and interactive tools to navigate or annotate them.

Features

  • Support for arbitrary input documents (PDFs, images, scanned text, etc.) for reading and processing
  • Text recognition / OCR integration to handle scanned or image-based texts
  • Translation tools to convert foreign-language text for easier reading
  • Annotation/ Highlighting capabilities for notes and lookup while reading
  • Possibly built-in summarization or comprehension assistance for large texts
  • UI designed for reading and study workflows rather than raw coding or command-line use
