Readit Fast

About

Read faster with a focused, distraction-free speed reader for web articles, PDFs, and EPUBs.

Readit Fast helps you move through online reading with less friction by using RSVP — Rapid Serial Visual Presentation — and ORP — Optimal Recognition Point — highlighting. Instead of scanning line by line across a cluttered page, words appear one at a time in a clean side panel, with the key recognition letter highlighted to help your eyes lock in quickly.

Use it to read articles, research, newsletters, documentation, PDFs, and EPUBs you own — right inside Chrome.

No account required to start.

Why Readit Fast?
Most reading time is lost to eye movement, distractions, and re-finding your place on the page. Readit Fast keeps your focus on one word at a time so you can stay in flow, adjust your pace, and get through more of what matters.

Whether you want to comfortably read an article, skim a long report, or scan a document for the important section, Readit Fast gives you a flexible reading experience built for speed and focus.

Privacy-First by Design
Readit Fast is local-first by default.

Your bookmarks, queue, reading speed, and reading activity stay on your device unless you choose to enable cloud sync.

We do not collect:

• The URLs of pages you read
• The content of articles you read
• Behavioral tracking data
• Browsing history

If you turn on optional cloud sync, only the data needed to sync your experience is stored in your account:

• Bookmarks: URL, title, and reading position
• Reading queue
• Daily reading stats: counts and time, not content
• Quiz results: title, score, and speed

Cloud sync can be turned off at any time. You can also delete your account in settings, which removes your synced data from our servers.
