Reasy

Reasy is a Firefox and Google Chrome extension that enables to read using Rapid Sequential Visual Presentation (RSVP).

Why do I want this Extension?

The intention of Reasy is to make reading the web really easy. The Firefox extension will make a pop up for any text you select in Firefox and play it to you using Rapid Sequential Visual Presentation (RSVP).

Why is doing it this way a Good Idea?

There exists a similar extension named RSVP Reader, I had qualms about the UI and presentation, and so in the spirirt of open source development, made my own version, which I think is a big enough departure to at least be worth offering anybody the choice of one or the other. It is quite influenced by the more fully featured standalone app Really Easy Reader. There is a very good explanation of the benefits of reading this way at the product website.

How do I use it?
