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. Very good. Thank you
The interface is great. However, this program needs any shortcut for copying non-Chrome texts.
An excellent, small and unobtrusive interface that just works! You highlight the text on the webpage and right click to open a separate speed reading window, and press play or space to get it going. Z&X increase and decrease the speed smoothly, and you can tune it up in all sorts of ways. There are a couple of very minor issues, but if you want a flavour of an article, this is the work. You can also copy and paste text to the same reading window to read non-chrome text, which is also very useful (pdfs, etc)
Caramba! Como não conheci algo do tipo antes? A leitura de diversos artigos se tornou rápida e dinâmica. Meu tempo de absorção triplicou e o que fora gasto em relação ao tempo permaneceu o mesmo. Muito obrigado!
I love this app! You should add another function: I want to have a possibility to personalize some words by the size or special characters. Actually I'm reading at 600wpm, but if a big word appers I have some difficulties. You can try reading a novel on the wuxiaworld web site, look at this sentence: "In this amazing battle, the once-famous Stone-Dragon(...). When the "once-famous" phrase surges I can't read because it is too fast.
It's a cool extension in concept, but I had some difficulties with it. Besides the other glitchy things people have criticized, It also seemed like words were all being flashed at the same speed, no matter how long/complicated the particular word was. When reading articles, I'd find myself pausing every paragraph or so to reread an extra long/complicated word, or an unfamiliar last name, so it kind of made the experience pretty clunky.
very helpful tool, love it - needs some glitch fixing like reading quotes, but otherwise excellent
It mostly does the job but there are some oversights. When sentences end with a period inside quotation marks, it doesn't recognize this as the end of a sentence and it drives straight through them. This is a problem because I mostly use this to read news stories with a lot of direct quotation.
Esse é o mais completo. gostaria de uma versao com as mesmas funcionalidades para android...uma pena que só tem o Speedread.
Not bad, could do better
