Read - Speed Reading via RSVP
Image from store
Description from store
This extension will soon fail to work when clicking on the icon. The backend logic for parsing the page was handled by Mercury Parser's API, which is being shut down.
I have a new, modern replacement for this extension in the works called "Stutter".
It is already available on Firefox and will soon be ported to Chrome as well. This new plugin runs completely offline and performs much faster than Read. The core RSVP logic remains unchanged. Please check it out.

- (2017-07-03) Renbo: This is a really excellent tool! Better than all others in chrome store since it wont need to open a separate window, its so fast! However, it has stoped to work recently when i right click selected text to be read. It just loads but no text appears. It works if i click the icon in the toolbar, but slower than it used to be. Please fix this! This is one of the few plug ins i would actually pay for, if it worked as it used to. Please add hotkey instead of right click. Ie, select text than an hotkey to read that text

Hilight text right click.. nothing. But anything else still open in chrome tabs it can read.. even offline. FIX!!

- (2015-05-15) Josh Windatt: At the second I'm using it to read online academic articles that aren't too 'heavy'. I think it'd be a certain four star if you integrated an automatic slow-down when reaching numbers, quotation marks & dashes (20% slower) and even slower when a percentage sign & currency symbols arise (35%). This would be extremely beneficial for what I need it for (am sure other too).
- (2015-02-12) Mike Chu: VERY well-designed UX. Great job. Maybe freemium me by throwing in a dark theme and some shortcut keys. I like paying for good software. Heck I'll fork and send some pull requests.
- (2014-03-19) Tyler Francis: Exactly what I've been looking for. It needs work, but it's nearly perfect. When reading Lifehacker, it stopped before the comments section, so bonus points for that. It didn't skip those in-page references to other articles, so that was confusing when reading it. Some times it mashes two words together with a period between them and no space, so maybe the website had a few <br> tags but no actual space? Either way, very good.

- (2014-03-18) Simon Crouch: Whilst awaiting the official release of Spritz, this Read extension is just truly amazing. I'm slow at reading books, but am now up to 1000 wpm comfortably - after only installing an hour ago thanks to Read! Awesome work. Love it. Reading like this really will change the world...
- (2014-03-13) Bryan King: Nice implementation of Spritz. A few suggestions: Make the settings/rewind bar darker to be more obvious that they're there. I missed them at first. Make the pause feature more obvious in some way, I didn't know clicking the word paused it until it was pointed out to me. Have the blue tracking bar be controllable so you can rewind/fast forward. Good job!
- (2014-03-13) Thaw Htaik: I've always had trouble with reading slow due to constantly re-reading words and sentences... this is really helping me alleviate that
- (2014-03-11) Matt Carr: I just blew through a CNN article.
- (2014-03-11) Gabe Steriti: I never thought I'd be able to read and comprehend at such an accelerated, advanced rate. Just a moment ago, I read War and Peace. Brilliant!
- (2014-03-04) Juan Vasquez: Amazing I can now inhale the internet in minutes!

Russian (presumable all non ascii) words are not centered. That's not convenient. - (2014-04-10, v:1.0.0) jaani Official: hi
