A Chrome extension that helps you read English on the original webpage with inline vocabulary, pronunciation, and paragraph translations.

What Xen does

• Reads English directly on the original webpage instead of sending you to a separate reader.
• Adds inline vocabulary hints so unfamiliar words stop breaking reading flow.
• Supports click-to-play pronunciation while you read.
• Shows paragraph-level translations when you need full context.
