Summary

Analyze keywords

Most (80%) of your reading time is used to physically move your eyeballs. This Chrome extension takes your block of selected text and presents it to you one word at a time. This eliminates eye movement, drastically speeding up your reading time.

In the screenshot, you can see how the extension works:

Select a block of text
Click on the 'eye' icon at the upper right hand corner of your browser
Set a speed (automatically saved for next time)
Hit Start
Read Very Quickly :)
