Summary

Sprint Reader is an easy to use speed reading extension.

Simply select text on a webpage, right-click and select 'Sprint read selected text' from the menu. This will launch the reader window, the selected text is displayed word-by-word in a fixed focal position. The duration of each slide is calculated based upon a word-per-minute (WPM) setting.

This method of reading is known as “Rapid Serial Visual Presentation” or RSVP for short. Studies have shown the habit of internally “sounding out” (sub-vocalising) words is a limiting factor which prevents faster reading speeds from being obtained. RSVP eliminates the “sounding out” of words as individual words are not displayed long enough for sub-vocalisation to occur.

RSVP proves that humans are capable of absorbing information at speeds much faster than standard reading rates with the same level of comprehension.

Please show us your support and spread the word. Sprint Reader is under constant development and we're always looking to improve.
