Field notes
The reader combines three representations of a book: flowing text, the original scanned page, and an audiobook timeline. Sentence timestamps are computed in an offline pass, while the local library is mounted read only through Docker; the homepage gives port 8710 as the default local address. Page annotations are deliberately withheld when the system cannot locate a sentence with confidence.
