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.

Easily the best "Spritz-like" extension out there currently. Plenty of options with only a few downsides. -Limited to simple text only (No pdfs) -No hotkey starts (Select, right click, spritz gets bothersome after 50 pages of material) Other than that- this application has enormous potential. I hope to see it evolve!

Really good program; I thoroughly enjoy it. I have to agree with Christoph's first suggestion in his blog, though: The amount of citations in academic texts sometimes makes a text unreadable. It would be helpful if brackets or even better, brackets with four-digit numbers in them, could be ignored.

Tried 4 Spritz-like extensions and this is the only one that allows me to adjust the pause for paragraphs, commas and fullstops. I suggest adding a pause for other kinds of punctuation, like the en and em dash. Another unique feature is the ability to set the minimum slide duration and for it to be adjusted based on word length. Also, the auto-select mode is useful but it needs another keyboard shortcut other than CTRL+ALT and Z. Let us configure this and put the option in the main extension window, rather than having to dive into the More Advanced Settings page. Or simply activate auto-mode by clicking the extension icon.

Sprint Reader Is my favourite spritz style app I have found for chrome, I have checkout quite a few, and this seems one of the best. I would like some more controls though. It would be great to have an option that restarts from the beginning of a sentence, when it is paused. rather than pick up from exactly the same spot. An option to show the whole of text at the bottom when it is paused. A way to jump through sentences or paragraphs, by clicking on one in the text below. Use the scroll wheel of the mouse to change speed as you read might be nice too

It was okay before they added that stupid ctrl+alt thing. Now it's always got that dumb text highlighting autocrap screwing up my browsing, and it won't stay off since ctrl+alt is the common key combination to do things like swap virtual desktops or lock your screen. No setting to disable the ctrl+alt toggle either, which is brain damage. If you can get an older version of this extension, get it; avoid the newest version.

Used to be nice. Now it has added some sort of quick text selection function, that appears everytime you press ctrl, alt or cmd... So everytime you tab in chrome or tab between apps. Then you need to press ctrl alt or cmd one million times before it disappears. No way to disable it.
