## App Description Reading shouldn't be this hard. SpeedReader is a free Safari extension that lets you speed read any web page using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) โ€” showing one word at a time at a controlled pace. For neurodivergent readers โ€” people with ADHD, dyslexia, or other processing differences โ€” traditional reading is exhausting. Eyes jump between lines, focus drifts mid-paragraph, and articles get abandoned halfway through. RSVP removes the cognitive overhead of eye tracking and line scanning, so your brain just processes. **How it works** Tap the SpeedReader icon in Safari's toolbar. The article text is extracted automatically and words appear one at a time with a highlighted focus point. Tap anywhere to pause, tap again to resume. That's it. **Features** โ€ข Focus-point highlighting โ€” each word highlights its optimal recognition point, the letter your eye naturally anchors to โ€ข Context preview โ€” pause and see the surrounding sentence to re-orient quickly โ€ข Punctuation pacing โ€” periods and commas add natural micro-pauses so content flows like speech โ€ข Speed control โ€” 100 to 600 words per minute โ€ข OpenDyslexic font โ€” toggle the dyslexia-friendly font with one tap โ€ข Light and dark mode โ€” follows your system theme or override manually โ€ข Keyboard shortcuts โ€” on Mac and iPad: Space to play/pause, arrows to navigate โ€ข Text selection fallback โ€” select any text on a page and speed read just that โ€ข Works entirely offline โ€” no data leaves your device No accounts. No subscriptions. No tracking. Free and open source.
