Get the Chrome Extension

Sometimes, you want to zoom through an article at 800 words per minute.

But you might miss something. You might lose sense of where you are - in a bulleted list? A new paragraph?

SplashReader lets you easily switch back and forth between speed-reading and normal reading with a flick of the space bar.

Don't sacrifice comprehension for speed.

SplashReader pauses every paragraph, giving a sense of context. When you want to re-read a section or skip ahead, just highlight the word were you'd like to start and press the space bar.

SplashReader is an RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), similar to other excellent speed-readers like Reedy, Spreed, Spritz, Squirt.io, and Glance. The main difference is the ease with which you can move back and forth between one-word-at-a-time speed reading, and standard reading.
