Fready Extension

Stay focused for longer and spend less time reading. Ideal for students and people with a lot of reading to go through!

⚛️ It works just like using your finger on a physical book thanks to the scientifically designed word pacer that simulates the ideal eye movement

🤖 It slows down on hard, long, rare, and scientific words, ensuring you stay laser-focused.

📜 It scrolls automatically when you reach the bottom of the page, allowing you to get fully immersed in the text.

Dylan Easley (ID: 000000b7579aa58a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/18/2023 This is completely useless. It does nothing. I'm trying to read on the CompTIA CertMaster Learn site and when I click read it shows what I think is a table of contents for the class. It does not highlight the words on the page and pace my reading. This is such a disappointment.

Jeremy Dombrowski (ID: 000000cb9afc4388) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/19/2021 I don't know why I can't go faster than 2000... It can't keep up and I find it very frustrating. Why the arbitrary limit? Let the user dictate the limit, not some arbitrary and totally meaningless constant value. Why 2000, why not 1834? 2369? 2800? 3402? The definition of a minute is as arbitrary as this constant limit.

kris mantle (ID: 00000064f74feaf6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/11/2021 Love it. I spend a lot of time reading through documents and web pages and Freadly really helps me stay focused. The only way it could be better is if it worked with PDFs.
