Staccato — Speed Reading, Word by Word

Most slow reading isn't about comprehension. It's about distraction: eyes drifting, re-reading lines, losing your place. Staccato eliminates all of that. Words appear in a single fixed point on screen, so your eyes never move. You just read.                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                          
How it works                                                  
Open any article, press Alt+R (or click the extension icon), and Staccato extracts the content and launches a clean reader. Words flash one at a time with the optimal recognition point — the character your eye naturally fixates on — subtly highlighted. The result is faster reading with less effort.
