- Rated 5 out of 5by NikWillOrStuff, 5 months agoI was impressed!! Sometimes you have to highlight the text you want to read before turning it on, depends on the website, but the keys are customizable and everything has been working for me without any fuss.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17351756, 2 years agoI love this! I've been looking for something like this for a while.
Good amount of configuration and nice ability to control color with themes and move the bar around.
I'd love the option of being able to control font and font size. - Rated 5 out of 5by TachyLubdub, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Johnathan James, 3 years agoIt worked exactly as I imagined it should, right out of the box.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ghost, 5 years agoI have not used it for long yet, but it is just what I was looking for !
Also despite the homepage link being a github page, I do not see the mention of the add-on being open source; in my opinion this would be a good marketing point to add ! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13517976, 5 years agoGreat tool - any chance of letting us tweak how many words appear in-line at a time? Or how many lines appear?
I'd like to run it at 600wpm with 5-10 words per line, 2 lines + increase from there to improve reading speed.
Of course, even without capability it's awesome - Rated 5 out of 5by Edison Orellana, 5 years agoSpreed was the best fast reader on Chrome. Spreed doesn't exist on Firefox as of now, so this is the best alternative. It would be nice if we could get some more readable font options, like something with serifs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Hosein, 5 years agoThe best speed-reading extension so far, with regular updates on github.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TehAnother, 5 years agoOne of the best and most useful add-ons for Firefox and reading in general. I installed it only today and I am loving it, I can't stop using it. I would only suggest adding a keyboard shortcut for selected text and maybe read "compu-ter" as a single unit instead of "compu-" and "ter" (which would help with word division at the end of a line in other languages as well). Kudos to the author for doing such a wonderful job.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13659058, 6 years agoI like this add on a lot, and use it regularly.
Few suggestions:
1. Right now it doesn't work in EPUB/PDF and in Firefox's reader view. Can it work in EPUB/PDF?
2. Increase in "word length" making it a pharse - or joining 3-4 words together, because making a phrase might be difficult. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13221093, 6 years agoOh my god - I'd given up finding an RSVP reader for Firefox after Reasy bit the dust. Thank you SO MUCH for investing your time in this - it's great! Only two things - 1 issue, and 1 enhancement request.
Issue: Stutter doesn't keep MacOS Mojave from going to sleep, so if I'm reading a longer article or an academic journal, I have to remember to move the mouse around now and then - this may not be something you can even address, but thought I'd mention it.
Enhancement Request: Stutter doesn't seem to work with Reader View - the overlay just never appears. Again, not sure if there are limitations in extensions these days that would preclude layering over Reader View or not.
Note: I'm also running Nightly v69.01, and I'm being a bad reviewer by not testing these things in the standard release of Firefox >_> Seriously though <3 Thank you so much for this!Developer response
posted 6 years agoHey, thanks for the review. I'm not sure firefox gives me a way to "stay awake" but I'll look into it. That would be cool during playback.
As far as the Reader View goes, Firefox greatly limits what an add-on is able to do. That's probably a good thing, honestly. The great news is, if you click on the stutter icon on a regular page, I push the webpage through Firefox's readability library before streaming it to you. That's the same library that powers the Reader View, so the experience should be similar.
Cheers - tomasino
EDIT: It looks like Google has a spec started for a "WakeLock" feature to keep screens awake. If approved, that would be a perfect solution for Stutter. There are some hacks to get it to work now, but most have drawbacks and only work in certain environments. I'm going to keep an eye on the WakeLock feature and implement it if it makes it through draft.
