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:

- (2024-07-23) Emanuele Natale: This is a fantastic tool. I have tried similar tools in the past, but unfortunately, they became closed-source and restricted some features to subscription-only access. I hope the developer keeps this project open-source and sustains it through donations.
- (2024-06-27) Matthew Nichols: I love this, its so simple yet I have seen my ability to process text without straining my eyes or getting headaches.
- (2024-04-23) diego caraballo: This tool is perfect, is what I was looking for, awesome work.
- (2023-12-19) Dylan Easley: 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.
- (2023-10-05) Artem “hArtKor” Kornukhov: 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.

- (2022-12-28) Antonio: Without a doubt the best rsvp app on the internet. Works perfectly and looks clean. It would be better if you could add multiple words each time it flashes.

- (2022-09-22) Cindy Bahl (Cindy): Wow. I've tried a few apps and extensions that try to do this. But this extension does it beautifully. One question - "Smart Speed" is an option. It includes a question mark icon "?" that a user would assume provides more explanation on that feature. However, it doesn't do anything. And I tried to find what the difference is between having just this one option on or off, but couldn't. I realize it is still in beta, so tiny bugs are to be expected and I'm overall impressed with it! But could you provide a little insight into this option?

- (2021-07-07) Salaam Kikhwa: The best RSVP extensions I've run across so far. I wish if there was a "ticker" mode, that could've been even better because the eye as it speeds up will try to read more than one word at a time. I'm waiting to see such a feature in this amazing extension.

- (2019-05-31) Matthew Scholefield: Really nice and aesthetically pleasing speed reader (plus, it's open source :D). Only criticism is the long delay at the beginning. This becomes particularly annoying when reading multiple short chunks of text.

- (2018-04-02) Jake Orlowitz: Superb implementation of a speed-reading program that naturally embeds into the browser. My only complaint is it maxes out at 800wpm and it'd be nice to see it go up to 1000. I'm not a super-reader, but I've been speedreading long enough to want to push that boundary, and I'm sure others are faster than me.
