Pacer speed reading Extension

Pacer speed reading is nothing more than a visual guide that guide your eyes across as well as down lines of text.

Using a pacer speed reading has many benefits. By guiding your reading, your eyes are forced into moving in the direction of the pacer. In other words, pacer speed reading forces your eyes to focus when and where you want them to focus. With pacer speed reading, it’s nearly impossible to lose your place on a page and it’s a lot easier to advance to each successive line. All of this helps increase reading speed. Since pacer speed reading involves using other parts of the body, it’s easier to stay alert while reading and that helps improve concentration, too.

Fingers, hands, plastic rulers and cards aren’t very effective when trying to speed read on screen. That's why pacer speed reading is created to help.

Just simply click START button then click on any text you want to read, a highlighting pacer will appear and move with a speed you want. It stops when reaching the end of a paragraph. Click on the next paragraph to continue.

The pacer speed, its color and movement are customizable in the browser action popup. Show popup by clicking on pacer speed reading icon on browser toolbar.

Pacer speed reading doesn't require any special permission. It's open-sourced.

Rojal Shukri (ID: 000000879d3f8a65) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/02/2023 impressed me with its extensive features, user-friendly, and good performance. However, it lacked shortcuts to stop and start the program, which hindered quick access and interrupted workflow. Despite this drawback, the program's overall quality and functionality make it a highly recommended choice for users.

Mani Hamidi (ID: 0000004f551f745d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/22/2021 Nice, been looking for something like this... I wish there were some keyboard shortcuts to activate, start, pause, re-start from paused position, and move the highlighter back and forth when paused. is this a possibility? is it easy to implement? is the project open source? can we/the community help implement this? Thanks!
