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.

This is a really helpful extension. The only thing that I would love is the ability to see the whole paragraph (or let's say, a reasonable amount of context) when pausing. This is because I can speedread most text, but on the most difficult passages I need to pause and go back. It would be better to just switch to classical reading mode for such passages. EDIT: really thanks for having implemented this suggestion; in just 6 days!

I love this app but I do not use it as a Speed Reading tool! I find it to be the best reading tool for 'normal' reading speeds. I read a lot online but most of the articles use small fonts, cluttered pages etc. (Wikipedia is the worst). The benefit of using Sprint Reader is the ability to change font size and background colour. I can centre the text and read 4 words at a time, then sit back, relax and read without getting eye-strain and not worrying about how long the article is. I teach Dyslexia students and highly recommend this application. More options for selecting background colours would be good. Also, auto pausing when long words appear would be great!

Really nice piece of software. I just hope I could use this also on my phone!

This is great. One suggestion: can you make it so that when I hit the space bar (stopping the text), the previous sentence or two show up above the displayed word? Often, I stop the text because something didn't make sense, so it'd be great to go back and instantly see the entire sentence or two preceding the word.

Thanks! But I have some comments, similar to other users: - Numbers and some words are splited which causes confusion.

Works very well for most reading. However, the algorithm needs to be updated to handle words that inherently include periods such as: i.e., e.g., U.S., a.m., p.m., etc. The default pause after a sentence (triggered by a period) is helpful *at the end of a sentence* but is a significant annoyance with these words.
