Chrome Extension
This extension powers the first step.
What it does
Open any web articles (news, blogs, essays) in Chrome, click the STVS icon, and choose Export. The extension saves a clean UTF-8
.txt file that includes the title, source domain, URL, capture time, and the article’s main text.
This file is directly imported into your STVS Library for intensive reading and speaking practice.
The key idea of our Chrome extension is simple. It works by extracting text from the webpage’s DOM (the HTML content your browser renders). It is designed to replace manual copy-paste: it finds the main article area, copies the visible text, and removes common distractions such as menus, sidebars, and “related links.” We are committed to respecting website policies, intellectual property rights, and all applicable laws and regulations.
This design also sets clear boundaries. The extension can only import content that is rendered as webpage text in the DOM. It cannot import file-based content that is not exposed as normal webpage text, such as PDFs, slides, scanned documents, or embedded viewers that render content as images/canvas layers. For the same reason, it only exports what you can legitimately see on your screen, so it cannot capture hidden sections behind paywalls or subscriber-only overlays.
To ensure import quality, STVS runs a two-round AI quality check powered by Google models . First, it verifies that the extracted text is complete and article-like. If a page is noisy or complex, a second pass helps refine what should be kept as the true main body, ensuring your imported text is clean, readable, and ready for learning.
