SpeedRead for Chrome

Extract any article into the SpeedRead workspace in one click. Sign in with your Lifetime Premium license — same multi-device subscription as the website (max 5 devices).

How the extension behaves

  • Right-click selected text or a page: opens a private RSVP popup immediately. You stay on the current tab.
  • Speed read this page: extracts the page and opens the same local reader.
  • Open SpeedRead app: intentionally opens the full website for files, OCR, bionic reading, speech and AI.
  • Options: contains developer endpoint settings. Normal users can leave the defaults unchanged.

Install in Developer mode

  1. Download the release zip from the project release folder, or clone the repo and open chrome-extension/.
  2. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
  3. Click Load unpacked and select the chrome-extension directory (unzipped, with manifest.json at the root).
  4. Pin SpeedRead. Optional: right-click a page → Speed read this page, or press Alt+Shift+S.

Install from the Chrome Web Store

  1. Open this page and choose Install from Chrome Web Store once the public listing is live.
  2. Chrome handles installation and future updates automatically.

The Store button will appear here after Chrome approves the listing. Until then, use Developer mode above.

Premium sign-in (coming soon)

  1. Purchase Lifetime Premium on the homepage and copy your license key.
  2. Open the extension popup → paste the key → Sign in.
  3. The extension uses one of your five device slots (shown as “Chrome Extension”).
  4. Sign out releases that slot when you are online.
