Docket Speed — RSVP Reader for CanLII

Speed-read CanLII judgments one word at a time with a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) reader. Nothing leaves your browser.

Docket Speed turns long CanLII judgments into a fast, focused read. It flashes the decision one word at a time in the centre of a quiet reading panel, with the recognition point of each word highlighted so your eyes stay still instead of scanning across lines. TWO WAYS TO START • Click the toolbar icon, then "Read whole page". Docket Speed finds the reasons for judgment and skips the site's menus, cookie notices, citation panels, related-document lists and footers. • Or select any passage, right-click it, and choose "Read selection with Docket Speed". BUILT FOR JUDGMENTS • Paragraph numbers like [12] are shown as a quiet "¶ 12" marker instead of being flashed, and you can jump straight to any paragraph. • Citations such as "2019 SCC 65", "s. 7" and "para. 85" stay together as one unit. • Natural pacing: brief pauses at commas, longer ones at sentence ends and paragraph breaks, and abbreviations like "J." or "v." don't trigger false stops. • Works with French decisions and accented text. • Handles very long judgments (100,000+ words) without slowing the page down. CONTROLS • Speed from 100 to 1000 words per minute (default 400). • Adjustable word size, light or dark theme, optional punctuation pauses. • Progress bar, current paragraph and time remaining. • Keyboard: Space play/pause, ←/→ back or forward 10 words, Shift+←/→ previous or next paragraph, ↑/↓ speed, +/− word size, T theme, Home/End, Esc close. • Accessible: keyboard-only use, screen-reader labels, focus stays in the reader while it is open, honours "reduce motion", works when zoomed to 200%. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Runs only when you click it, and only on canlii.org pages. • No account, no analytics, no network requests. Case text is never stored or sent anywhere. • Only your preferences (speed, theme, word size, punctuation pause) are saved, using Chrome's own settings sync. Docket Speed is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by CanLII (the Canadian Legal Information Institute). "CanLII" is used only to describe the website the extension works on.
