Slideshow Reader

Turn long-form stories into focused slides.

Turn long, overwhelming articles into clean, distraction-free slides you can actually finish. Ever open a 3,000-word essay or newsletter, stare at the intimidating wall of text, and leave the tab open for weeks? Slideshow Reader transforms long Substack, Medium, Reddit, Wikipedia, X, and blog posts into a focused, bite-sized slideshow (40–90 words per slide). Instead of fighting an endless vertical scroll, you absorb one complete thought at a time with smooth keyboard navigation and clear progress tracking. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▶ ONE-CLICK READING Click the floating "Read as slides" button on any Substack post or press Alt+S on any article. ▶ SMART SEMANTIC CHUNKING Our reading engine splits long essays into natural, bite-sized slides without cutting off sentences mid-thought.
