A terminal-based speed-reading tool that displays text as per-word RSVP (rapid serial visual presentation) aligned on optimal reading points, Spritz-style. It works as a command-line filter, accepting piped text and showing it at a configurable words-per-minute rate.
Use cases
- speed read long articles in the terminal
- read emails faster with mutt integration
- train myself to read at 500+ words per minute
- pipe any text file into a spritz-like reader
- read text without moving my eyes
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, scriptable speed-reading filter for the terminal
- you read lots of piped text such as emails or plain text files
- you prefer minimal Unix-style tools that compose with grep, cat, and mutt
When to avoid
- you need a graphical reader with large fonts or web/browser integration
- you need seeking back and forward through the text
- you need fine-grained word timing or configurable pacing coefficients
