Reedy. Intelligent Reader is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your reading experience by allowing you to read ebooks, articles, and any text or web pages comfortably and efficiently. It supports multiple formats including epub, fb2, html, and txt, even handling books inside zip archives.

Key features include three versatile reading modes: regular, speed reading (with speeds up to 3000 words per minute), and text-to-speech voice reading that caters to different preferences. Reedy preserves styling elements such as images, tables, links, and footnotes, creating a rich reading environment. Its intelligent navigation tools, including automatic table of contents, bookmarks, and content extraction from web pages, ensure easy access and seamless progress through texts. Additional conveniences include customizable text size through pinch-to-zoom, light/dark themes, and smart sharing options for quotes with book title and author details.

The speed reading functionality leverages RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology to significantly increase reading speed while maintaining comprehension by displaying words sequentially in a fixed position. Users can adjust reading speed, benefit from smart slowing at punctuation, and easily control the speed via volume buttons or screen taps.

Perfect for avid readers, students, and professionals alike, Reedy is a clean, intuitive, and feature-rich extension for anyone looking to save time and increase productivity in reading.

Reedy is praised for its multiple reading modes, effective speed reading and text-to-speech features, and responsive developer support. Users appreciate the ad-free experience and bookmarking functionality. However, recurring issues such as app crashes, speech playback stopping frequently, and occasional bugs have been reported, particularly after updates.

After the "update" on November 3, 2024, I can't even open the app anymore. It crashes immediately. I tried it on my phone and on my tablet, doesn't open. On my tablet I even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, still doesn't open. I've used this app for so many years because it's really useful... but this is the first time it has gotten so bad. I'm just baffled. Please fix! EDIT: Fixed, works fine now. Thanks!

I depend on this app every day. It is one of the essential apps I install first on all devices. App allows me to move between reading modes which helps extend the amount of time I am able to read each day. Recently an issue was introduced that made the app unusable for me. The developer fixed it promptly! Thanks!
