Description

*****BETA/PRE BETA*****

Read articles FAST!

grokfaster is a chrome extension designed to help you read the content of pages and articles a lot faster. This speed-reading technique has been known for a while and is now gaining popularity. Even if you've never used it before you might fine you can read at 500+ WPM

Please keep in mind this is an EARLY BETA, and I would love feedback. If there's any problems, chances are in the coming days it will be addressed, if not, let me know! Thanks!


Current Features (v 0.1.2):
- Right click menu to read highlighted text
- Space bar for pause
- Escape or click background to stop reading
- Option for WPM (words per minute)
- Option for focal point
- Option to show previous and next words
- Options for delay after sentence and other items (comma etc)
- Option to dim the background


Coming features:
- Customize everything (color, font, size)
- Read pasted text
- Read other items
- Scan back words when paused (for better comprehension)

Overall I want this to be a very usable, good looking and stable app.

It's still early, and each minor revision has improved it greatly.

Thanks!

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
