Original

When you read technical documentation, SilkRead keeps the original paragraph visible and inserts a clear translation next to it.

Translation

AI translation appears directly inside the page, preserving context so you can read without switching tabs.

Built for serious web reading

SilkRead is a browser extension for researchers, developers, students, and multilingual readers who need accurate page-level translation without clutter.

In-page translation

Translate selected text or full webpage sections while keeping the source page readable.

Multiple AI models

Choose cost-effective or higher-accuracy models based on the page and your reading goals.

Privacy by design

A translation extension must be clear about what it does with webpage content. SilkRead keeps the data flow narrow and purpose-based.

No browsing history storage

We do not store your browsing history. We only process the text you choose to translate in real-time.

Purpose-limited processing

Text is sent to the selected translation engine only to return the translation you requested.
