Speed reading extension using RSVP technique. Read articles and content faster than you ever thought possible. Read4Speed is a powerful speed reading extension that helps you read articles, blog posts, and web content 2-3x faster using the scientifically-proven RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technique. Transform your reading experience by displaying one word at a time at a fixed focal point, allowing you to absorb information faster while maintaining comprehension. Simply select or auto-select an article or blog post, Press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on Mac) to start a 3 second countdown, focus on the red character and let your peripheral vision recognize the rest of the word as each word displays rapidly on screen. Use spacebar to pause/resume. Adjust WPM and font size in the extension pop up. KEY FEATURES - Smart Text Selection Press Ctrl+Shift+S to activate our intelligent text selector that automatically identifies article content while bypassing ads, navigation menus, and image separators. No more manual highlighting - just one keystroke to select exactly what you want to read. - Adjustable Reading Speed Fine-tune your reading pace from 25 to 900 words per minute in 25 WPM increments. Start slow to get comfortable with the technique, then gradually increase your speed as you build confidence. Most users comfortably read at 300-500 WPM - significantly faster than traditional reading. - Adaptive Timing Technology Our smart timing system automatically adjusts display duration for optimal comprehension: -- Longer words (10+ characters) get extra display time -- Sentence endings pause 50% longer for natural reading rhythm -- Cumulative adjustments ensure comfortable pacing - Fixed Focal Point Reading The center character of each word is highlighted in red and remains in the exact same screen position. This eliminates eye movement and allows you to use peripheral vision to read the entire word - the secret to speed reading success. - Full Playback Controls -- Play: Start reading with a 3-second countdown -- Pause/Resume: Take breaks without losing your place -- Stop: End session and close overlay -- Replay: Re-read content from the beginning -- Speed adjustment during playback: Change WPM on the fly - Customizable Display Adjust font size to match your screen and viewing preferences. The responsive font sizing (2-5vw) ensures comfortable reading on any monitor size from laptops to ultra-wide displays. - Settings Sync Your preferences automatically sync across all your Chrome browsers when signed in to your Google account.

Eye movement - Your eyes stay fixed on one point instead of scanning across lines 2. Subvocalization - The rapid pace naturally reduces internal speech, allowing direct comprehension By displaying words sequentially at a fixed position with the center character highlighted, Read4Speed trains your brain to process text more efficiently. Most users see immediate improvement, with reading speeds doubling or tripling within their first session.
