docs(intro): update highlights and backend details in docs and README

Revise project highlights in README and introduction to emphasize ONNX-based
PDF layout parsing (PP-DocLayoutV3), segment-based TTS playback, and flexible
backend/storage options. Clarify compute modes and self-hosting features.
Update TTS provider descriptions for accuracy and conciseness.

Also expand tsconfig exclude list to omit compute worker sources from main build.

 ## ✨ Highlights
 
-- 🎯 **Multi-provider TTS** with OpenAI-compatible endpoints and cloud providers (Kokoro-FastAPI, KittenTTS-FastAPI, Orpheus-FastAPI or OpenAI, Replicate, DeepInfra).
-- 📖 **Read-along playback** for PDF/EPUB with sentence-aware narration.
-- ⏱️ **Word-by-word highlighting** via ONNX Whisper alignment in local mode (`COMPUTE_MODE=local`) or external worker mode (`COMPUTE_MODE=worker`).
-- 🧱 **Layout-aware PDF parsing** (PP-DocLayoutV3 ONNX) with structured blocks for cleaner TTS/chaptering.
-- 🛜 **Sync + library import** to bring docs across devices and from server-mounted folders.
-- 🗂️ **Flexible storage** with embedded SeaweedFS or external S3-compatible backends.
+- 🧱 **Layout-aware PDF parsing** with PP-DocLayoutV3 (ONNX) — structured block detection, cross-page stitching, and geometry-based highlighting for precise read-along sync.
+- ⏱️ **Word-by-word highlighting** via built-in ONNX Whisper alignment — no external dependencies, runs in-process (`COMPUTE_MODE=local`) or offloaded to a scalable Redis-backed worker (`COMPUTE_MODE=worker`).
+- ⚡ **Segment-based read-along** for EPUB, PDF, TXT, MD, and DOCX — sentence-aware TTS with cached audio segments, background preloading, and resumable playback.
+- 🎯 **Multi-provider TTS** — self-hosted OpenAI-compatible servers (Kokoro-FastAPI, KittenTTS-FastAPI, Orpheus-FastAPI) or cloud APIs (OpenAI, Replicate, DeepInfra).
 - 🎧 **Audiobook export** in `m4b`/`mp3` with resumable chapter processing.
