Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Ah, Sprint Reader! A digital marvel that promises to turn us all into literary Usain Bolts, dashing through prose at breakneck speed. This marvelous extension, free as the air we breathe (though considerably less essential), attaches itself to your browser like a benevolent parasite. With a flick of the wrist and a right-click as casual as a royal wave, it transforms your chosen text into a high-speed literary Grand Prix.
Gone are the days of laboriously dragging your eyes across the page like a sloth on tranquilizers. No, no! Sprint Reader catapults words at your eyeballs with the relentless efficiency of a tennis ball machine gone berserk. It's RSVP - Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Not to be confused with the rather more civilized "Répondez s'il vous plaît", though both may leave you equally breathless.
The creators, bless their optimistic hearts, assure us that this method will break us free from the shackles of "sub-vocalization" - that quaint habit of actually hearing the words in our heads as we read. How terribly 20th century! Why bother with the music of language when you can have a silent disco in your cranium?
But wait, there's more! This digital wonder comes with a veritable smorgasbord of features. Multiple color schemes! Optimal letter highlighting! Automatic language detection! It's like having a polyglot chameleon as your personal reading assistant. And for those of us who find the idea of reading one word at a time a tad pedestrian, fear not - you can adjust the "chunk size". Because nothing says "I'm a serious intellectual" like absorbing "War and Peace" three words at a time.
The creators, in their infinite wisdom, have even provided for "grammar delays". Commas, periods, and paragraphs can now be savored for a microsecond longer. It's the literary equivalent of a speed bump - just enough to remind you that punctuation exists before hurtling onward.
And should you find yourself enamored with this breakneck bibliophilia, you can profess your love on Facebook. Nothing says "I have a rich inner life" quite like publicly declaring your affection for a speed reading app.

Good!
Very useful! Thanks!
Nice, but I also would like a feature to remove references e.g (Woody,2012) from text :)
nice app! Christophs ideas will make the app to a five start ++
Even works with PDF files (that you've got open in your browser), however, it stumbles as soon as there is a word hypenated across two lines e.g. impor- tant. Once this stumbling block's been over come, it'll be worth giving 5 stars!
Works great! It became my favorite extension in Chrome!
I LOVE Sprint Reader. After testing 15 different speed reading application, I can say -- hands down -- SPRINT READER BLOWS THE COMPETITION OUT OF THE WATER!!! It has the perfect mixture of the most robust feature-set, yet also the greatest extent of possible customization. Its gotten me to go back and read books again -- Before I loved the information, but hated the slow speed. On top of all of that, Anthony is incredibly responsive. I've never seen an app developer so flexible when it comes to making additions & constant improvements. You can't go wrong choosing Sprint Reader !!!
Very good extension! I like it a lot. Just one suggestion: Please make a feature so that certain text within brackets (square and round) can both be ignored. A lot of articles include Stock quotes, related links, etc in brackets and it becomes very distracting during spreeding. So please consider my request. Thanks!
This one sucks for my main purpose which is reading PDF's. I think the functionality for that isn't ready yet. When you highlight the text you want to read, sometimes you can activate Sprint but sometimes it's not even an option. And then sometimes when it does work the text comes up as gibberish. I'll keep an eye on it to see if they update the PDF reading. For now it's a waste.
awesome app, however there are a few things i would need to give this a 5* rating. 1. open either in a new tab or as a modal popup, having it open in a new window is rather annoying. 2. allow the previous and next few words to be shown dimmer in the available space (see balto speed reading app for android). 3. allow for the parsing of a whole page without having to select text (see readability api).
