Readsy is an extension for Chrome that brings embedded speed reading to any website by just a double clicking the text you want to read.

Other speed reading extensions are cumbersome and ruin your natural flow by having to manually selecting the text and reading in a separate window.

With Readsy just double click the paragraph you want to start at, then read right there within the page itself! Readsy will capture the remaining text of the article, chapter, section, etc for you.

Features:

Speed read embedded into every website
Character highlighting and eye-line-guide
Extra pauses for punctuation and longer words
Option to require ALT key + double click before appearing

Could be 5 stars if: - Supported R2L languages - The reader was shown in the center of the screen - There was a dark mode

Super fantastic extension. I love that it is embedded and that I don't need to leave the site I'm browsing to copy url or content to another speed reading tool. I don't even need to select the content I need to speed read. Just double clicking on the first word is enough.Thank you very much for this lovely tool. I have a question and a suggestion. My question is about your website linked in here. http://readsy.net It seems defunct? Do you have a new website? My suggestion is to give keystroke options to activate the tool. I use double click for normal text selection, and this tool interferes with that regular behaviour. It would be good to use key combinations like alt or shift to activate readsy along with double click.
