heytappr for
a reading companion that sees your page
some books fight back, dense arguments, unfamiliar terms, a character you swear was introduced 80 pages ago. heytappr reads the kindle page you're on and explains, defines, or recaps, without you leaving the book.
explanations anchored to the visible page
tap the notch and ask what a passage means, heytappr reads the rendered page and explains it in plainer terms, or defines the word you're stuck on. it works from what kindle displays, so the explanation matches your exact spot in the book.
live mode for a real back-and-forth
understanding a hard chapter is rarely one question. live mode keeps the conversation open, so you can ask a follow-up, turn the page, and ask again, a reading partner that stays until the session ends.
a companion, not an audiobook
heytappr can read the visible page aloud and scroll onward to gather more, but it isn't a substitute for audiobooks or kindle's own accessibility features for full-book narration. think margin notes that talk, not a narrator.

questions people ask
- Can HeyTappr summarize the whole book?
- Not from your library alone, it reads pages that appear on screen, and it can page forward to gather more, but summarizing an entire novel that way is impractical. It shines at explaining the page or chapter in front of you and recapping what you've recently read together.
- Does this work with other reading apps too?
- Generally yes. Because HeyTappr reads whatever text the screen renders through Android accessibility, most reading apps work, though some render pages as images, where a screenshot gives it visual context instead. It needs an internet connection either way.
