## What it is
ColorTxt is a local desktop novel reader for TXT and common ebook formats (epub, mobi, pdf, etc.) that colorizes content with custom highlight rules for a distinctive reading experience. It adds chapter detection, annotations, notes, dictionary, translation, multi-voice TTS, AI reading assistant, and book-source search, built with Electron + Vue.

## Use cases
- read local txt novels with colored highlighting
- open epub and other ebook formats on desktop
- auto-detect chapters in a novel txt file
- highlight character names and keywords while reading
- have the book read aloud with different voices for dialogue and narration
- use AI to summarize plot or answer questions about a novel
- convert simplified Chinese to traditional Chinese while reading
- underline passages and take notes while reading

## When to avoid
