What is SwiftRead?
SwiftRead (formerly known as Spreed) uses a technique called rapid serial visual presentation, or RSVP, to help you read text faster. By presenting text this way, you reduce sub-vocalization ("sounding the words" out), unconcious re-reading, and eliminate eye movements, which are the main things holding back your reading speed.

Comments and Reviews
Works as described, and the free version works quite well.
This extension is terrific!! I absolutely love it. I use Project Gutenberg books with this & practice speed reading. It allows you to set font size, WPM, words per line & more. Fully customizable & free!
This seems to work pretty well, but the timing for words is a little strange? it pauses on long words about twice as long as the short words, which is just a bit longer than what feels natural. The only option in the settings is to turn this completely off, instead of adjusting it a little bit.
It's worth noting that in the UI for this chrome extension, there's a button that says "Click here to upgrade" and links to ShiftReader

big utility for internet navigation and fast reading.
