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.

I would rate it 4 stars but the Alt+Ctrl hotkey is one I use often for other things and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. When I rightclick on the icon in chrome, "options" is greyed out.
Worked great until a recent update added a "shortcut" to auto-select text. The idea behind it is good, but the deafult way to turn it on is just HORRIBLE (ctrl+alt to select text and z to open the reading window). Since I use other default windows which include these buttons, the reader window just gets crazy. Please fix this as soon as possible, its getting annoying.(Or at least allow us to map keys differently)
Muy útil, creo que es la mejor aplicación de su tipo, el detalle de realizar una pequeña pausa tras los puntos o comas es lo que me ha convencido.
Love this extension. Great for speed reading articles. The developer has been very responsive to feature requests and fixing bugs. Nicely done.
This is a potentially great extension with a few flaws. Please, please, add support for pausing and/or splitting words after em dashes. Currently the extension appears to recognize no distinction between hyphens (-) and em dashes (—), which makes for frustrating reading. There are a few other instances where things get wonky when it comes to punctuation, but this is the most significant and recurring issue.
I will change the review to 5 if hotkeys are fixed. It is a great app but the hot keys just make it unusable. Why don't you make hotkeys an option that can be turned off and figure out the bugs in the meantime?
This is really great although I have some suggestions for improvement, especially for reading academic texts (see my blog post at http://wp.me/pACko-6t). But I'm giving it 5 stars because it is currently under fast development and it is increadible how well it works already now!
This application does not work for me at all. I tried it on multiple sites. CTRL-ALT brings up the text selection just fine. Pressing Z after text is selected brings up the reading interface. However pressing the 'play' button or 'space' does not start the application. My chrome is up to date. edit: rebooting chrome fixed this!
Fixed the Shift shortcut problem in under 36 hours. I'm very impressed with how responsive the developer was to community feedback. :) Great extension. I love using it, and I love the auto-select feature now that it has a better shortcut!
A fix has been pushed for the shift debacle. I uninstalled and re-installed the extension. Pages that were loaded before had to be refreshed for the change to be put into effect. Other than that, it's a great piece of software.
