Show HN: Reading Assistant for Physical Books

https://tryreader.app/
2•roshangill•1h ago
It defines words, clarifies passages, and explains concepts about the physical book you're reading through voice.

Works best with headphones, and smart glasses (e.g. Meta Raybans), that way you never see a screen.

If you're interested, reach out.
