- Noté 5 sur 5par Hosein, il y a 6 ansThe best speed-reading extension so far, with regular updates on github.
- Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15260686 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansGood concept and works decently. But unfortunately misses 95%+ of the punctuation. IE: Punctuation settings don't really work much at all. Looking for something else I'm afraid.

mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansStutter has speed settings to support sentence ending punctuation (.,!?) distinctly from other punctuation. The other punctuation list includes: \/s,.…?!¡‽:;‘’“”'’`><+=@&#~*^()[]{}<>«»·•¤¢$€£¥₩₪†‡°. The speed settings are multipliers, so if you want to delay longer than normal on punctuation, you'll need a number greater than 1. - Noté 5 sur 5par TehAnother, il y a 6 ansOne 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.
- Noté 3 sur 5par besse, il y a 6 ansCompletely satisfies my needs, except for reading .pdf files opened in Firefox, e.g. https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf

mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansIt doesn't appear that I can target PDFs with webextensions, sadly. Is there anything else the extension could do to improve a 3/5 star review? - Noté 4 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15325947 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansBeautiful rendering, I wonder if the text handling can be improved... Doesn't seem to work in reader view. Also will sometimes miss newline characters (?) such as in this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/lesson-1-creating-database-objects?view=sql-server-2017
It does fairly well overall but when reading the RH sidebar under "Is this page helpful" each item in the list below gets hyphenated to the next: "Prerequesites-C" for example. I know that's an unimportant part of the article but I'm sure that problem may occur elsewhere.
Also, being able to seek within the article... maybe by clicking along the length of the bar or with some manual controls - would be lovely.
I love the blur effect when the reader is paused. Being able to easily change the font and size would be very appealing.
Overall great app - I have been waiting for a good replacement for Spritz for YEARS thank you so much James!Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansVersion 1.7.0 has introduced some keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Left/Right will skip you forward and backward as you're reading. Alt+Up/Down will increase or decrease speed. Enter wil pause/play, and Escape will close Stutter. - Noté 4 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15313439 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansGreat tool. I've used a few speed reading addons in the past and this one is the one I've stuck to. Only issue for me is the inability to use it on pdfs. I read a ton of papers and can't use this tool with them.

mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansThanks for the review. I'm not sure if I can process content in a PDF with a web extension, but I'll look into it. That would be a great feature addition. - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13659058 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansI 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. - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13221093 de Firefox, il y a 6 ansOh 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!Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansHey, 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.

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. - Noté 5 sur 5par mosj, il y a 7 ans
- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13838463 de Firefox, il y a 7 ansI used to use Spritz for a while, but now that's limiting my speed without a subscription. Stutter is great! So glad I found this extension, looking forward to reading a lot with it in the future. Thanks to the author for publishing this.

- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 14705924 de Firefox, il y a 7 ansNot only is this the only such extension I've found that works properly with Pocket, it also looks fantastic.
- Noté 5 sur 5par Ben Morrison, il y a 7 ansI love it. Adjustable reading speed, adjustable start-up acceleration. I read a lot of news and other articles via the browser, and this has helped me speed up digestion of said articles significantly.

- Noté 4 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13260286 de Firefox, il y a 7 ansThis extension seems to read what the "Speed Reading Mode" extension doesn't read. I really like the presentation. I haven't figured out exactly why the third letter or so is red, but it does seem to help keep my attention. Improvements could be an option to read only what is selected on the page. Another nice thing would be to show how much time it will take to get through the words in the page with a progress bar. Remaining time would also be nice.

mis en ligne : il y a 7 ansThanks for the review! You can read your selections on a page by highlighting the text then right-clicking and choosing "Stutter Selection". The background of the reading bar displays progress but not time, you're right. I'll look into that and see if it's something I can add!
