Description

A browser extension that lets you speed read and listen to text on a neat, clutter and ad free window. If speed reading or listening to text (text to speech) isn't your cup of tea, you can still use our Read Mode to view web content without ads, popups and other annoying distractions. To enhance readability for dyslexic users, we've also included a dyslexia-friendly font, making the reading experience more accessible and enjoyable. How do we facilitate Speed Reading? Users can harness the power of Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) to absorb information up to 3 times faster than traditional reading methods. TheReadTime empowers you to swiftly navigate through web content, dramatically increasing your information intake with minimal loss of comprehension. Ways you can Speed Read: 1) Directly launch any web page in a new speed reading window. 2) Highlight any text area on a webpage and right-click to choose the speed reading option. 3) Copy and paste any piece of text into our speed reading interface. 4) Load PDF or ePub files, but this feature is only available for PLUS users. Text to Speech Free users are entitled to 15000 characters of our natural sounding text to speech service every week. For unrestricted access of our text to speech service, users will have to upgrade to a PLUS subscription. Customization/Personalisation Choose from a selection of fonts, font-sizes and themes to create your perfect reading ambiance. Fine-tune reading speed to a comfortable level by adjusting words per minute (WPM) and words displayed at once (chunk size). Dive deep into granular settings to further optimize your reading experience. Test your Reading Speed Take our free reading speed test to find out how fast you read. You can pick from two difficulty levels: high school or college.
