FB2 Reader - Demo and Versions
FB2 Reader is a single-file, client‑side web app for reading FB2 ebooks. It renders the book paragraph by paragraph, lets you translate any paragraph via OpenRouter, and can generate per‑paragraph text‑to‑speech (TTS) audio via OpenAI. All preferences and caches (including translations) are stored locally in your browser; no server backend is required.

Summary of differences between versions:
- v1.1:
- First public version. Russian UI (titles, labels).
- Per-paragraph translation via OpenRouter; model is configurable; API key stored in localStorage.
- Caches translations locally per file/language/paragraph; basic navigation (go to #para, go to last).
- No TTS features.
- v1.2:
- Adds the “compare” button to compare original and translated paragraphs side-by-side. (Parallel Dialog)
- Refinements to the translator UI and parsing. Still Russian UI.
- Keeps OpenRouter-based translation workflow and local caching.
- No TTS features yet.
- v1.3.0:
- Switch to English UI and title; adds a TTS settings modal and OpenAI TTS integration (calls https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/speech).
- Retains OpenRouter translation and local caching.
- v1.3.1:
- Adds audio integration around paragraphs: per-paragraph TTS generation and attaching playable audio elements; introduces deterministic local MP3 filenames via buildFilename(idx).
- UI polish and controls for language selection and TTS model/voice; stores TTS-related settings in localStorage (openai_tts_key/model/voice).
- v1.3.3:
- Improves local MP3 handling: auto-detects and attaches existing local audio files after rendering paragraphs using a reusable Audio probe (attachLocalAudioIfPresent).
- Robustness fixes and small UX tweaks around audio playback and error handling.
- v1.3.4:
Notes:
- All versions use client-side localStorage; keys and cached translations never leave your browser except for API calls to the selected providers.
- Translation is performed via OpenRouter; TTS is performed via OpenAI where available.
