About

Quicklexia Speed Reader is a completely private & free reading assistant built to optimize your visual processing, comprehension & reading speed. Specially engineered to reduce cognitive fatigue & minimize text crowding, Quicklexia provides an efficient, stylistically optimized reading environment on any website. 

Whether you are scanning research documents, scrolling through social media, or clearing web backlogs, Quicklexia adapts natively to your workflow. It is highly optimized for all readers, casual & professional, & even has features targeted to best support those w/ ADHD & dyslexia.

The extension runs 100% locally on your machine—your data never leaves your device, & your browsing activity is never tracked. No cloud collection, no background tracking cookies, no ads, & no hidden subscriptions. 

CORE ENGINE FEATURES

• Fixation-Guided Typography
Accents the initial syllables of words using balanced text-weight variations. This guides your eyes seamlessly across lines of text, prevents wandering & dramatically increases word absorption rates.

• Spatial Tracking Adjustments
Provides real-time spacing controls to inject breathing room between characters & lines. Eliminating text crowding instantly reduces cognitive visual fatigue during long-form reading sessions.

• Tracking-Dot Pathways
Dynamically maps steady visual guidance tracks between words. These subtle pacing anchors keep your eyes perfectly aligned on the current line, preventing accidental skipping or backtracking.

PREMIUM READABILITY FONTS

• Lexend Local: Scientifically spaced glyph distributions designed to widen your visual span & ease text tracking transitions.
• Comic Neue: Distinct, high-clarity glyph geometry designed to eliminate character mirroring & maximize letter distinction.
• Baseline Serif: Structured horizontal text paths that form a consistent, continuous guiding visual foundation.
• Clean Sans-Serif & Monospace: Stripped entirely of decorative styling noise to ensure raw, long-form attention focus.
• Open-Dyslexic: Weighted, heavy-gravity character bases designed to prevent letter rotation & stabilize text boundaries.

HOW TO USE

1. Left-Click the Quicklexia extension icon in your browser toolbar to instantly toggle your custom reading transformations on or off globally.
2. Right-Click anywhere on a page to pick an instant preset, or customize your own preset via the live configuration panel & sculpt your exact typographic metrics in real time.

The extension remembers your on, off & preset preferences per domain so you do not need to constantly change your settings as you go between sites. You can reset this anytime by clicking 'reset site preferences' on the custom preset menu. Again, site preferences are saved entirely locally & never leave your device.
