Summary

Analyze keywords

Readio Speed Reader is a smarter speed reader, built from scratch with a modern and intuiitive design to give you a pleasant reading experience. We value simplicity and speed and we've made it really easy for you to get started.

Readio attempts to find the correct content on each page automatically, and places a quick access button in the bottom right corner of every readable page. The quick access buttons allow you to read the automatically detected text or open the editor to paste your own text. Of course, you can always select and right click any text on a page to read it.

Everyone has their own preferences, and therefore we've built in multiple options to personalize Readio to your liking. These options include dark/bright themes, word positioning and highlighting, font styles, speed variation, and much more!

We're still in the beta phase, so please feel free to leave feedback if you notice anything wonky or have any feature suggestions. You can also help develop Readio by contributing to our open source repository on Github:

This tool is perfect, is what I was looking for, awesome work.

Great app. I just wish it had more customization options. I want to be able to see groups of more than one word (maybe up to 4). I also want the option of having 3 words on screen but it's scrolling through, so the 3rd word becomes the focus word (2nd word) and so on, scrolling through in chunks of 3 words instead of just one. I also want it to tell me how long it will take to read the pasted words (if I don't pause). I also want a key combination for "Start Reading" so I can copy the text, click on the reader box, then from there I don't have to use the mouse, just Ctrl+V, "Start Reading" key, and so on.

It's a great expansion without a doubt. Two suggestions: 1. Now the window with text opens on the left border of the screen, which is not very convenient, I would like it to open in the centre of the screen, or on the full screen (now it opens on the full screen in height, but not in width). 2. Add the "text continuation" option to the settings to show not only one word, but also the subsequent text.
