LitFlow is a reading platform that lets teachers pre-record or embed audio explanations, vocabulary pop-ups, and comprehension checks at specific timestamps in an audiobook or text. Students listen to the uninterrupted narrative and see/hear annotations only when they pause or opt-in, keeping engagement high while supporting all learners.
