• (2023-11-14) rebecca wu: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found myself uncontrollably grinning when I read at 1000 wpm for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can comfortably read at 600-700 wpm, while absorbing all the information. One of my favourite, if not my favourite extension!
• (2023-11-03) Timothy Fox: I really love this extension. It's very helpful as a person with a learning disability The only thing is the option the use SwiftRead while still in your chrome tab doesn't work. The shortcut(For me it's, ⌥V) Just opens up the app and doesn't allow me to read it in my chrome tab. I also looked very hard for any option to use it in the extension settings, and also the settings in the swiftread app but did not find anything. If this was fixed this would be my favorite extension of all time.
• (2023-10-30) i221853 Muhammad Hashim: The idea and ui is great but cant seem to be able to use "option + v" shortcut to open it quickly. ps. have checked the chrome extension hotkey setting
• (2023-10-29) Santiago Hernández Giraldo: Y FUE ASÍ COMO MI VELOCIDAD DE LÉCTURA AUMENTÓ DE 200 HASTA 2500 PALABRAS POR. MINUTO, HOY POR HOY LEO ENTRE 600 A 1200 PPM, DEPENDIENDO DEL TIPO DE TEXTO, Y EL IDIOMA. CONOZCO ESTA EXTENSIÓN HACE 5 AÑOS, NO DUDÉ EN PAGAR LA VERSION PRO DE POR VIDA, PORQUE MUCHA VIDA ME HE AHORRADO AL APRENDER A LEER A ALTAS VELOCIDADES, MAYOR COMPRENSIÓN, MAYOR RETENTIVA, MAYOR ENFOQUE, Y MUCHO MUCHO TIEMPO AHORRADO, GRACIAS TROY POR CREAR ESTA EXTENSIÓN SIGUE EVOLUCIONANDO ESPERAMOS LA APP EN NUESTROS MÓVILES. no diré que es fácil, debido a que requiere mucha concentración, pero sin duda vale no la pena, sino la vida.
• (2023-10-22) Cloud Embers: Feels like I just discovered the equivalent of fire but for reading text. WOW, WOW, WOW. A must have for me forever. Thank you!
• (2023-08-29) Lucas Flach: I've tried many text-to-speech extensions. This is by FAR the best one. It helps me read long texts.
• (2023-08-26) Matthew (Matt): This is amazing, helps so much to read large texts for school!
• (2023-08-23) John “The FAQyMe Experience” Brown: Simply the best speed reading app. It changed the game when I was studying at uni. I can't imagine how helpful it would be if you started using it earlier in school. It would have been incredibly helpful in highschool for things like book reviews. I don't recommend any other way to read if you need to or enjoy reading quickly and efficiently. I find I still have fairly high retention even at 650wpm+. My only complaint is there is no firefox extension. Ten out of five stars. The developer is very friendly too, would recommend buying pro.
• (2023-08-15) Davit Aghamalyan: This is the best thing for somebody who cant concentrate while reading and it just makes it so much faster I'm starting high school and it helped get through textbooks faster at 550 WPM! It is very simple to use and it is one of the best things I've downloaded and actually left a review.
• (2023-07-31) Edna McCauley: This app is awesome. I have been doing so much more reading and faster, too. Thanks, really! Maybe you can help me with some recommendations for books and material to read? My objective is to prove that men in power is NO GOOD and we need all just women in power to govern and supervise the men. For example, in Will and Ariel Durant's "The Story of Civilization: Ceasar and Christ", there are even horror stories of what men in power have done to civilians. And what is worse, is that history seems to have been repeating itself. I hope you can help me prove my case. Who are you, by the way? Who I am I writing to when you say "send me a message"? I tried clicking on "message" but the kook redirected it to a "question and answer" page, not a way to send you a message. To give you a better idea of the project I'm working on, for which I have been reading and studying with your app, my own work is also made with love but in Tampa (but I was born in NYC)... Listen to my sermon "Jesus' Independent Police City-State" on YouTube channel "Jude James Bardales". I don't know what these kooks trying to find excuses to block communications may do to the link, but here is the link in a couple chunks https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=7yhBsFoMDJE
• (2023-07-22) Sarah McLean: I have always felt contentious about AI and its overuse within the staffing industry. I feel like I there should always be an element of human in the process; to find those 'Red Sweaters'. I wasn't expecting SwiftRead, to paint such a picture with the simple question, 'how much is your time worth?' 🙏 What an eye opener! Nice tactic caught my attention anyway.
• (2023-07-21) Octavio Jose: Me parece buenísima y muy útil para ser gratuita. Estoy pensando si pasar a la versión PRO. Me ahorra mucho tiempo y, como he leído en otra reseña, se podría decir que es arte
• (2023-07-18) Andrew Beal: The swift read app is the read deal. from 270 wpm reading regularly to 425 words per minute, all without any practice. The extension takes all the trouble out of speed reading and gives you the ability to read much faster. Having all the pro features is great for me, as i am able to read not only web pages, but pdf's, epubs, and any copied text.
• (2023-07-07) Phelipe Freitas: Very useful!
• (2023-06-26) SAI NIVEDH: SwiftRead is a remarkable productivity AI tool that has significantly enhanced my reading experience. With its ability to analyze and process various forms of text, including news articles, blog posts, and emails, SwiftRead has become an invaluable asset in my daily routine. One of the standout features of SwiftRead is its speed reading capability. By simply copy-pasting any text into the tool, I can swiftly read through the content without compromising comprehension. This feature has been particularly useful when I need to gather information quickly or skim through lengthy documents. What sets SwiftRead apart is its flexibility, allowing me to read at my own pace. Whether I prefer a slower pace for complex subjects or a faster pace for lighter content, SwiftRead adapts accordingly. This personalized approach to reading has revolutionized the way I consume information, making it both efficient and effective. Furthermore, SwiftRead's impact on my reading experience extends beyond its speed reading feature. When it comes to ebooks, instead of relying on a regular PDF viewer, SwiftRead offers a superior alternative. By utilizing the tool, I can immerse myself in the knowledge contained within the ebook, while minimizing strain on my eyes. This reduction in eye fatigue has been instrumental in increasing my learning hours, as I no longer feel the same level of exhaustion that traditional reading methods often induce. The positive effects of SwiftRead on productivity cannot be overstated. By enabling me to consume information faster and with less eye strain, it has effectively enhanced my overall efficiency. The time saved through its speed reading feature has allowed me to allocate more energy towards other tasks, resulting in improved productivity across various aspects of my life. If you're looking to improve productivity and optimize your reading experience, SwiftRead is a must-try tool that will undoubtedly yield positive results :)
• (2023-06-25) Veta Voloshanca: Ableist extention. The dyslexic font and text-to-speech are paid features. Why should one pay more for the fact they happened to be disabled?
• (2023-06-09) Thanh Lực Nguyễn: It's all good
• (2023-06-09) Thủy Nguyễn: Bản pro trả phí nó đã hỗ trợ giọng nói cho ngôn ngữ tiếng Việt chưa ?
• (2023-05-31) 스치: Love it
• (2023-05-26) Terri Wilmot Smith: Love it! All I do is copy and past the document in SwiftRead change the speed to my liking and listen as I work. Amazing! Thank you for this tool! Great job!
• (2023-05-25) Sébastien HOLZAPFEL-MASSON: As for now, it is impossible to test reading texts in German, since the long words pause feature is set on a too short pause in the free version. Swift reading German and agglutinative languages creating very long words with derivational morphemes is impossible with the test version. Test it e.g. on "Anschauungserfahrungen" !
• (2023-05-23) Luke Xiu: great
• (2023-05-20) Terence: I'm someone who loves reading but cannot focus for a long time. Then I found out SwiftRead and it's engaging method of reading so I tried out and very impressed by it. SwiftRead is very intuitive to use, easy and clean. And then I purchased PRO version for the text to voice function, and more customizing functions according to individual need. (Free version has a range of customization functions like background, font, word per minute speed, font size, etc.) PRO version gives you the text to voice function, as I described above. Having a voice to read along with me is a very lovely experience. Although voice can be funny at very fast wpm which should always be adjusted according to personal needs. But for me, I don't need a very fast wpm but to enjoy the reading so an average voice speed is good enough. And the voice is natural sounding and not like a robot too. It's a very good point to review. There are a number of English accents and other languages like spanish, french, etc. TLDR= Try the Free extension, it's clean and intuitive and a range of customization options and swifter reading. PRO version is worth it if you love more customization and the "voice" backing you while you are reading through the book. It's like having a reading partner too.
• (2023-05-16) Bergg Uscha: I can't speak for people with reading disorders, fortunately I don't have any. The app can actually go faster. (although arrow keys would have been the logical function here) I can't say the same for myself with this app. On the contrary, I have to re-scroll the words I'm trying to read faster, otherwise the passages don't make sense. And that's how reading actually works. We see the words, but we have to understand them in the context of a sentence. This is done visually, as our eyes move back and forth, taking in the information to complete the meaning. Reading is not a sequential experience per sé. It can happen within a sentence, a paragraph, or even a page. Word separation doesn't adhere to it, and the high-contrast images only "blind" me after a few minutes.
• (2023-05-06) Beldades Word: só dá pra ler pdf se pagar. tem outros que são gratuitos e tão bons quanto esta extensão, mas com este você consegue ler copiando e colando o texto na extensão.
• (2023-04-29) Ed Mooney: Great browser plug-in. I use it frequently - the pro version is worth it if you're a reader (especially Kindle). The creator also keeps adding features to the settings as well. Worth your time to learn to use.
• (2023-04-28) Katie Wald: Pro user here, the purchase was so worth it! I have ADHD and reading blocks of text, especially on the computer, can be really difficult for me. I use this for everything now, from articles to long messages to books. The pdf/epub reader is so useful and the TTS voices are decent enough that I've read several books by listening with that feature. The hotkeys are awesome, the customization options are great for saving my eyes during longer reading sessions, and the dev is cool and responsive. Definitely one of my top 5 extensions, I'm seriously hoping for a desktop app someday!
• (2023-04-24) Michael Insero: I really am thrilled with my purchase. I appreciate so much that he offers the lifetime license instead of those annoying monthly charges. Troy is also very easy to reach and willing to work with you if you're experiencing bugs or if you have feature ideas. Great guy, great product
• (2023-04-18) yousef aldosry: By using AI voices like those offered in the Speechify app, you can make your experience more engaging and avoid the robotic-sounding voices that are often associated with text-to-speech technology. These natural-sounding voices can also make the content you are listening to easier to understand and more enjoyable to listen to, which can be particularly helpful when trying to learn or absorb new information.
• (2023-04-13) 박범진: Best App Worth the money Big Thanks to You
• (2023-04-12) Edvardas Naujalis: Asked for TTS Lithuanian language and I didn't expect it would be added but response was super fast and the developer added what I requested. Speech is very clear, thanks! Recommend, rekomenduoju!
• (2023-04-11) Asad Abdullah: I have been using the SwiftRead Google Chrome extension for over two years now, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for me. It is an amazing tool that has helped me to read faster with better comprehension. I've tried other similar tools like Speechify, but I find SwiftRead to be far superior, especially when using it on my MacBook. One of the things that I appreciate about SwiftRead is that the developer has consistently added new features over the years. For instance, there is now a text-to-voice function, which is incredibly helpful for when I want to give my eyes a rest, but still need to keep up with my reading. Additionally, the speed reading measurement feature has been a great way to track my progress and set reading goals. Overall, I can confidently give SwiftRead a five-star rating. It's an excellent tool that has helped me to read more efficiently and has become an indispensable part of my workflow. I wish the developer all the best and encourage anyone looking to improve their reading skills to give it a try.
• (2023-04-11) Max Wagenaar: great
• (2023-04-08) Chris Dobbs: TL:DR; Troy has put together an incredibly useful extension that has helped me immensely. He's as responsive as can be expected from someone doing this as a side hustle. I had problem that turned out to be an outdated version. I got an immediate automated reply and a solution within 24 hours. I'm converting to a lifetime Pro subscription and it almost feels like stealing. Details; ADHD means that my brain processes information way faster than I can get it in. If it's a hyper-focus, it's "game on." If it's not, I get bored, zone out, and miss entire sections. Long ago, I found that I could learn from videos or recorded lectures if I sped them up. I usually end up around 2x speed because that's as fast as the app will let me. I was never able to translate to reading, no matter what system I tried. It usually ended up that if I had to read about it, it would take forever to get through. Reading for fun became useless because I'd miss half the story from skipping around. Swift Read is like a gift from the Gods, to reward me for suffering for so long! It is exactly what I was looking for. It is the literal equivalent to my discovery about listening. The testing tells me that I'm already at an average of 700 words a minute, but that's just because I've learned how to skim and pull out basic information from short stories. I'm running 550 WPM on the extension already, but it's still faster, because now I'm getting all the details in one pass. I've even started reading for fun again.
• (2023-04-07) Pranav Rao: Helped a lot during the exams, Troy's a good dev too very receptive to feedback and does follow-ups. Really solid customer service, looking forward to the planned stability upgrades but currently it's still a great piece of work more than worth the money.
• (2023-03-27) Bia V: Horrível, só pode usar pagando! propaganda enganosa
• (2023-03-24) Reinaldo Luckman: I'm a pro user. The LTD deal is a great deal. It is really helping me to read faster. Thanks to the developer.
• (2023-03-23) Matthew Svatora: Keeps me focused on the text and is extremely useful for skimming long academic/scientific papers.
• (2023-03-22) mustafa yazıcı: Better version of spreeder with more options such as increasing word count in a row.
• (2023-03-21) qwerty qwerty: I read quite quickly in general, if I want to. If I am not interested in the text, reading can get boring and I get distracted easily. With swiftread, I have found it forces me to pay attention more and I can read faster as well--I would say normal is 300 or so, can go up to 575-625 on swift read already. So nice to have the words move for me. As I just use it to read faster, I have no need for Pro, but it seems if you wanted a read aloud it would work as well. If I had any suggestions it would be to ad a tiny tutorial to the beginning, just like 10-15 seconds, and try to see if you can add an upload google docs or something.
• (2023-03-12) Guy Reshef: The RTL support is not good. other than that works good
• (2023-03-11) S S: I downloaded this extension a few days ago and I am still discovering what it can do. Since I have to read a lot of research papers I wanted to buy the pro version, as copy pasting the text from pdf documents does not work seamlessly. I was willing to give this a try, really, but to my disappointment, purchasing is only possible with credit card, something I do not own... It would seem silly to grade it down for this, though, so 5 stars, bc this does have potential, only I cannot unlock it. Have I missed something? If not, when will it be possible to pay via iDeal or PayPal?
• (2023-03-08) alrzaw sf: in simple words even in their free version they are offering a useful tool as a chrome extension which you can not find easily even with searching such things
• (2023-03-07) Doug Calidas: SwiftRead was exactly what I was looking for. The option to customize the color pallete - and the fact that the extension allows the user to go as fast as they could possibly choose to read without imposing an artificial limit, as most other programs do, has been a game-changer for my productivity. I love this program.
• (2023-03-06) Pool Oneto: Excelente extensión espero algún día haya app para iOS.,
• (2023-03-05) Luka Lazovic: Free version seems like false advertising im ok with paying for extra added stuff here it seems overkill either make more options available, pay only for full thing, or effin remove from google store the FREE ADDS theres so many better alternative ones i found and used already now to test I may seem harsh with only 2 stars but when theres apps that provide same or better quality free or less paywalling i have to do it.
• (2023-03-03) A C: I love this app, but can't give it 5 stars because I use it for the voice TTS feature, which is incredibly inconsistent. I have a disability that makes reading comprehension difficult, the TTS makes it much easier for me to read and comprehend what I'm reading. I paid for the pro, but I rarely get to use it because it constantly speeds up and down without me touching the speed, to the point the words and inaudible. I understand the voice is newer, but it's the only reason I use this. It never works consistently for more than a few weeks. I use this primarily for university, so it's a bummer to not be consistent
