Reedy

Download extension

Read all you want faster with Reedy for Google Chrome!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.
