The web should adapt to you, not the other way around. With FocusFlow v2.5, we're making that vision a reality for millions more readers across the globe.
This is our biggest release yet. We've added three brand-new features — Bionic Reading, Text to Speech, and Reader Mode — and expanded FocusFlow to support 8 languages so you can use the extension in the language you're most comfortable with.
Let's dive into everything that's new.
🧠 Bionic Reading
Ever feel like your eyes are drifting across a paragraph without actually absorbing anything? Bionic Reading fixes that. It bolds the first few letters of each word, creating artificial fixation points that guide your eyes naturally through the text.
- How it works: Your brain recognizes word shapes from the bolded segments and fills in the rest, dramatically increasing reading speed and comprehension.
- Who it helps: Readers with ADHD, dyslexia, or anyone who struggles to maintain focus on long-form content.
- Fully adjustable: Toggle it on or off from the popup, and combine it with your existing font and spacing preferences.
This is one of the most requested features we've ever received, and it's finally here.
🔊 Text to Speech
Sometimes the best way to read is to listen. FocusFlow now includes a built-in Text to Speech engine that reads any selected text aloud — no extra extensions, no third-party services.
- Select and listen: Highlight any text on the page and have it read back to you instantly.
- Multilingual voices: Text to Speech works across all 8 supported languages, using your system's native voice engine.
- Privacy-first: Audio is generated entirely on your device. No text is ever sent to a server.
Whether you're proofreading your own writing, multitasking, or simply prefer auditory learning, Text to Speech gives you another way to consume content on your terms.
📖 Reader Mode
Web pages are full of distractions — ads, sidebars, pop-ups, and cluttered layouts. Reader Mode strips all of that away and presents just the article text in a clean, beautifully formatted view.
- Distraction-free: Removes ads, navigation bars, sidebars, and visual clutter with a single click.
- Works with all your settings: Your chosen font, text size, line height, color overlay, and Bionic Reading all apply seamlessly inside Reader Mode.
- Perfect for long reads: Articles, research papers, blog posts, and documentation become dramatically easier to get through.
Think of Reader Mode as your personal reading environment — clean, focused, and tailored to you.
🌍 8 Languages, One Mission
FocusFlow is no longer English-only. Starting with v2.5, the entire extension interface is available in 8 languages:
| Language | Locale |
|---|---|
| Deutsch | German |
| English | English |
| Espanol | Spanish |
| Francais | French |
| Portugues (Brasil) | Brazilian Portuguese |
| Portugues (Portugal) | European Portuguese |
| Hindi | Hindi |
| Japanese | Japanese |
FocusFlow automatically detects your browser's default language and switches the interface accordingly.
Accessibility should never be limited by language. This is just the beginning — more languages are on the way.
