Deep Read

Added the Airlingo Chrome extension reading surface for serious second-language readers.
Added hover-first preview cards so help appears on the active sentence instead of replacing the page with full bilingual translation.
Added active and standby Deep Read states, with activation through hover, Airlingo mark, hold gesture, context menu, and extension popup controls.
Added sentence-anchored preview behavior so the card follows the reading sentence while the original page remains primary.

Added lexical simplification for difficult source-language words and phrases, keeping the sentence readable without turning it into a translation task.
Added context dictionary sense selection so the extension chooses the meaning that fits the sentence.
Added knowledge linking for mentioned people, places, organizations, and other entities.
Added context translation for cases where simplification is not enough, with source and target word matching.
Added sentence speech with token-following playback for the active sentence.
Added image text reading for screenshots and scene images that contain readable text.
Added multilingual reading support for English, Chinese, German, and French.

Added Standard, Fast, and Pro modes.
Standard balances quality and speed for everyday reading.
Fast prioritizes lower-latency help.
Pro prioritizes higher context fidelity.
Airlingo handles model routing behind the mode so readers do not need to choose model names.

Added the public homepage around the slogan: Read Deep, Sense More.
Added an interactive product demo that teaches the hover-first reading workflow before sign-up.
Added feature highlights for simplification, dictionary, knowledge linking, context translation, sentence speech, image text reading, multilingual support, Deep Read toggle, and Read Modes.
Added pricing and FAQ copy for beta access, credits, and onboarding.
Added account-aware web navigation for signed-in and signed-out visitors.

Added public documentation for getting started, Deep Read behavior, reading features, Read Modes, credits, and support.
Added changelog pages with a left page tree and right in-page table of contents.

Airlingo is in public beta, so behavior and pricing may change before the stable release.
Credits are required for cloud-backed reading features such as context translation, lexical simplification, dictionary sense selection, knowledge linking, sentence speech, and image text reading.
PDF reading is not supported in this beta.
