Read any web page like this
The free ListoRead extension for Chrome opens this reader on any article: select text or nothing at all, press Alt+R and read. When you close it, the page shows where you stopped.
What is RSVP?
Rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) shows text one word at a time at a fixed point. Your eyes stop jumping from word to word and from line to line, which saves time and makes it harder to drift off.
How fast should I read?
Most people read news and articles comfortably at 250–400 words per minute. Start at 300, raise the speed step by step, and slow down for dense texts. Pause at any time to see the whole sentence.
Is my text private?
Yes. The reader runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste is not sent to any server and is not saved; only your settings, like speed and theme, are kept on your device.
