ReadFast powered by Spritz Extension

Use the official Spritz technology to improve your reading speed.
Works on any page with text content.
Simply double-click on the text you want to read to start Spritzing.
You can also select the text and use the context menu to start Spritzing.
If no text is selected, the whole page will be Spritzed.
Reading speed is configurable via a slider.
Pause is triggered by a click anywhere in the popup or by the CTRL key.
Rewind 1 sentence by using the LEFT arrow key.
Close by clicking outside of the box or with the ESC key.
Double click detection can be disabled by using Alt+S or by clicking on the extension icon.
You can Spritz content from outside of the browser, by copying content to the clipboard and hit the CTRL+B shortcut in chrome to start reading the copied text. This is useful for content that cannot be open in chrome.
Keyboard shortcuts and other settings are configurable via the options menu.

You will be amazed by how fast you can read!

gerdo strza (ID: 000000f539ebf2d6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/02/2023 doesn't have polish letters - this makes it useless to me

Golovka Anna (ID: 0000009dde06aff1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/04/2023 doesn't work

Marciano Santos (ID: 00000056f33b9716) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/26/2022 Ele funcionou perfeitamente ao ler um pdf e, realmente, consegui ler super rápido usando esta ferramenta. Ela é melhor para texto corrido e conteúdo não tão complexo. Se você não está familiarizado com o conteúdo que irá ler, a velocidade pode atrapalhar. Porém, para ler um romance ou um livro de fácil leitura/compreensão, ele é ótimo.

shuit RidgePain (RidgePain) (ID: 00000046e76567c6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/29/2021 many people don't like it because "it doesn't work" or "only reads a tiny bit" but they haven't really tried any other options for this extension, like reloading the page so it loads the extension, or pressing ctrl+a to read a whole page, or even just using a keybind. very simple fixes for very simple problems that people just don't care enough to try to fix. unlike the others ive tried, i don't have to create an account to go above 100, so this is quite helpful!

WREE WREE (ID: 0000002b507a3945) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/19/2021 Not Working as of April 19, 2021. Installed on Chrome and Edge browsers (latest versions) and it does absolutely nothing when highlighting text and enabling Spritz.
