Extension summary
The Speed Reader, inspired by Spritz, allows you to read any text quickly without having to move your eyes. Simply highlight text you would like to speed read and click the speed read icon in the task bar.
User reviews
Could be 5 stars if:
- Supported R2L languages
- Could press Space-Bar to start reading the selected text
- There was a dark mode
- The box would be centered, be shown without opening a new window (and would be shut off by clicking anywhere else in the screen)
