This extension will soon fail to work when clicking on the icon. The backend logic for parsing the page was handled by Mercury Parser's API, which is being shut down.

I have a new, modern replacement for this extension in the works called "Stutter". It is already available on Firefox and will soon be ported to Chrome as well. This new plugin runs completely offline and performs much faster than Read. The core RSVP logic remains unchanged. Please check it out.

This is a really excellent tool! Better than all others in chrome store since it wont need to open a separate window, its so fast! However, it has stoped to work recently when i right click selected text to be read. It just loads but no text appears. It works if i click the icon in the toolbar, but slower than it used to be. Please fix this! This is one of the few plug ins i would actually pay for, if it worked as it used to. Please add hotkey instead of right click. Ie, select text than an hotkey to read that text

I have a lot of saved web articles news on my drive.. double click them and they open up in Chrome like I'm online. But this extension failed to Speed Read it for me! Hilight text right click.. nothing. But anything else still open in chrome tabs it can read.. even offline. FIX!!
