Staccato

Staccato — Speed Reading, Word by Word Staccato transforms any article or blog post into a focused reading experience — one word at a time, at exactly the pace you set. Most slow reading isn't about comprehension. It's about distraction: eyes drifting, re-reading lines, losing your place. Staccato eliminates all of that. Words appear in a single fixed point on screen, so your eyes never move. You just read. How it works Open any article, press Alt+R (or click the extension icon), and Staccato extracts the content and launches a clean reader. Words flash one at a time with the optimal recognition point — the character your eye naturally fixates on — subtly highlighted. The result is faster reading with less effort.
