Speed Reading Mode by Arrizal Amin
Review by Firefox user 13990036
Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 13990036, 7 years agoThis is exactly what I needed. Two features would make it perfect:
1. Pause the reading when the space bar is pressed.
2. If text is highlighted on the page, only read that text instead of the whole page.

- Rated 4 out of 5by caisah, 18 days agoThis is a very useful addon. I would like to have more features, like dark theme for example.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Jay, 2 years agoWorks as advertised, dev seems to be updating still. I wish I could select what it would display, however it works very well and I hope to see it improve.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Daniel Scheufler, 3 years agoSimple, Direct, and works as advertised. Sure the usability could be improved, but it served exactly the purpose I was looking for. Help me consume a long document more effectively with a Spritz like interface.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16927675, 3 years agoIt is a good extension and serves it's function as a speed reader. You can also mess around with settings how ever you like and to your likings. However, the fact that you can't highlight what you want to read really puts this addon at a really disadvantegous place.
Instead of reading where you want, it will make you read the whole page. For example, if you want to read a Reddit comment, it will start from the subreddit desc, the top comments, and then the thing you actually want to read.
TL;DR - Serves its purpose, have good customization settings. You can't read a specific part of a page because you can't select what you want to read. It will load the whole page instead. - Rated 4 out of 5by tars, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14618453, 4 years agoOn a quick spin, it seems like a really handy and simple plugin. The only beef I have with it, is that it can only start reading the text from the beginning and not midway (doesn't support showing only selected text)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Thiago Furtado, 4 years agoMuito bom. Substitui com perfeição o Spritzlet que se tornou pago.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ChutneyUK, 5 years agoThis is a very good speed reader. I like the play bar meaning I can easily see in my peripheral how much I have left to read.
===OK, I've run into some issues - could you please make it interpret highlighted text as an alternative method? there are a number of pages that the reader doesn't interpret as speed reading text, meaning I have to revert to another speed reader that isn't as good IMO. Thank you for listening ===
I would really appreciate the ability to select colours because I use a dark theme and this extension then shows the text as light grey and the background as white.
The ability to pause with the space bar would be great also. - Rated 2 out of 5by Potatoes_Fall, 5 years agoThis extension seems to work great on some websites, but it didn't work on the website I wanted to read - the reason I got the extension for. If it was possible to highlight text and just read that, I'd be sold!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bruce, 6 years agoIt works great. Someone pointed me to Spritz, but it was a paid service, so I tried this add-on, and so far it has worked perfectly.
- Rated 3 out of 5by mosj, 6 years agoVery straightforward and apparently also lightweight, but it's not possible to manually select the text you wanna read, which is essential to a speed reading plugin IMO.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dorian Liriano, 6 years agoSimple and effective. I would love the ability to include more words in the reading session.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14219736, 6 years agoVery useful yet simple extension. Thanks for creating it Arrizal :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by DerpGusta, 7 years agoIt's awesome but a few more features would be even better! Say keybindings and color preferences.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13096371, 7 years agoLove the concept about it.... its summer vacation time ... I am going to give it a try with my 5 year old :-)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13925967, 7 years agoAlmost all browser this time is full of distraction, and this extension is the best solution
