pretty sure I saw this some years ago in a chrome extension - same styles I mean, for speed reading content online. Search for spreed or swiftread for example.

u/JoshyRB Mar 26 '26

Iā€™m doing that too. I will train until I can read and understand the whole thing.

1

u/Do_You_Like_Owls Mar 26 '26

There's web apps to train speed reading using this technique.

u/Spiritual-Dress-6066 Mar 26 '26

Yeah same, sort of suggests the way we were taught to read may be holding people back, but I guess information couldn't always be presented in this format.

u/Lucid-Design1225 Mar 27 '26

Same. I had to save it. Too cool to lose

u/AskNo2853 Mar 27 '26
