Excellent extension. I use it as an exercise in my self taught speed reading course. From this point of view, in addition to already mentioned improvements, progress assessment and other things related to it can be added, producing in the end almost complete speed reading software. But in any case, two thumbs up - great extension.

This extension has been really useful when studying. Best speed reading extension I've used so far. I just wish there was a way to use it with text outside of the web browser

Couldn't change font size. It took a while to load longer blocks of text

Nicest of the speed reading extensions I've tried. The options to change the display speed and style are good. Will mostly be using this with Pocket to speed read uncluttered web pages. I'd also like to see a much simpler and more efficient way to speed read a page. Selecting text and clicking a toolbar icon is too slow and clunky. Would be great to see some native integration with Pocket and Feedly for more efficient initiation of speed reading. Note: I originally thought the plugin was broken. Restarted the browser and then it worked.

One of the most polished speed reading extensions. It could be improved by dedicating time to words proportionally to their size. E.g. "in the" should be shown on screen faster than "extremely interesting". And optionally it could pause for a bit in sentence breaks (.,; newlines etc)

Excellent extension. The UI is pure eye candy, well done, Jordi. The ability to go up to 1000 wpm, is a complete bonus, and having up to 4 words per line is gravy. I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't work on many news sites, or pdf files opened in the browser. Wouldn't work on CNN or NBC. Seemed to get hung up on something, stating there was only one word available, and would give a subject line with facebook in it. Sites that give a print preview can be read by Read fast, but that isn't a reliable solution. If this extension could figure out how to read the news, and pdf files I drop in chrome, it would be a five star extension!

A very solid extension compared to others with similar functionality. The UI is much clearer and usable. There could be better explanations on the modes, rather than forcing the user to experiment. Window position is also unpleasant in the top right. It would function better to situate in the middle of the screen. Lastly, if autostart were to remain, adding a slight pause would be recommended. As it exists now, the start time and window appearance are too closely timed, resulting in missed words as one adjusts. Lastly, instructions on using the extension. Read Fast did not function properly on existing tabs/windows. I had to open a new window to verify it worked, and re-load Chrome to get it working on all existing tabs.
