Summary

Use the official Spritz technology to improve your reading speed. Works on any page with text content. Simply double-click on the text you want to read to start Spritzing. You can also select the text and use the context menu to start Spritzing. If no text is selected, the whole page will be Spritzed. Reading speed is configurable via a slider. Pause is triggered by a click anywhere in the popup or by the CTRL key. Rewind 1 sentence by using the LEFT arrow key. Close by clicking outside of the box or with the ESC key. Double click detection can be disabled by using Alt+S or by clicking on the extension icon. You can Spritz content from outside of the browser, by copying content to the clipboard and hit the CTRL+B shortcut in chrome to start reading the copied text. This is useful for content that cannot be open in chrome. Keyboard shortcuts and other settings are configurable via the options menu.

You will be amazed by how fast you can read!
