About ReadFast - Speed Reading

ReadFast - Speed Reading with RSVP Technology Dramatically improve your reading speed and comprehension using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology. ✨ How It Works ReadFast works on any webpage with text content: * Double-click any text to start speed reading * Select text and right-click to read just that section * No selection? The entire page will be displayed word-by-word * From clipboard: Copy text from anywhere and press Ctrl+B to read content from outside the browser ⚡ Features * Adjustable speed: Configure your reading pace via slider (up to 1000+ WPM) * Customizable: Adjust colors, font size, vertical position, progress bar, and background transparency * Full PDF support: Works seamlessly with PDF documents * Keyboard shortcuts: Fully configurable via options menu 🎯 ORP Technology ReadFast uses the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) technique—displaying one word at a time with precise letter alignment so your eye doesn't need to move, allowing you to read at incredible speeds without sacrificing comprehension. 📋 RELEASE NOTES Version 3.0 Manifest V3: Fully migrated to Chrome's modern extension standards for better security, performance, and future compatibility Replace the spritz SDK that is no longer available by a custom OPR algorithm Rebrand the product RELEASE NOTES 2.5.0 -Added the Spritz from clipboard functionality.
