About this extension
Read all you want faster with Reedy for Firefox!

This is port of Chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reedy/ihbdojmggkmjbhfflnchljfkgdhokffj?hl=en

Start speed reading and you'll be able to read books twice, three or even four times faster than you used to read!

Reedy uses a technique called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) allowing you to read with any comfortable speed. Words are shown fast one after another on the same place of the screen which increases the speed of perception of every single word. With RSVP you can read being entirely absorbed into a book.

--------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO USE

• Select the text on the page;
• Click the right button and choose Reedy. You can also use the shortcut «Alt+S» while the text is selected.

Also you can launch Reedy without text selection. Just press Alt+S and hover your mouse over the block containing the text you want to read. The block will be highlighted in green. Click to start reading.

--------------------------------------------------------------

SHORTCUTS

• Alt+S – launch Reedy (this shortcut can be customized);
• Space (or Enter) – play/pause;
• Right/Left – next/previous word;
• Ctrl+Right/Left – next/previous sentence (you can also use the mouse wheel);
• End/Home – go to the end/beginning;
• Up/Down – increase/decrease the speed;
• +/- – larger/smaller font size;
• Esc – close Reedy.
