Literally 95% of the options are locked away. That includes basic settings like being able to use certain shortcuts to increase/decrease the WPM, pausing, and micro-pausing that allow you to be able to quickly pause when a long word appears or new paragraph starts. If you don't believe me, go to the settings and see how options, very basic options, have a "Pro" box that you have to pay $15 monthly to use and prepare to be amazed.

I actually love SwiftRead, but I don't use it for speed reading, and wish it had an option to only advance on key press or something similar. You see, I am visually impaired, and the line by line reading experience this provides has helped me a lot. Unfortunately, because I am visually impaired I have a hard time specifying a WPM because some words are easier to see than others, no matter how I change the font style or size. So some words take longer for me to parse and this throws off the WP... Show more

SwiftRead is a great tool that helps me to read faster. I get text versions of great literature from Project Gutenberg and then paste them into SwiftRead. I can also read books from Kindle Cloud. One of the many features I like is that I can increase the font size of the text I'm reading, as well as the speed it appears on the screen. This is a game-changer for those of us who were always in Group 3 in reading:) I love this reading tool...I have a degree in English, and wish this tool ha... Show more

Troy - Well done!!! I love this. What a cool idea and great job with this Chrome plug in; you built something useful and beautiful. Goldilocks simplicity combined with configurability options like WPM, font size, words-at-a-time, audio toggling. You certainly deserve your subscription fees, though I understand folks on tight budgets may find it expensive. Professionals and students who read a lot should find this tool helpful. Especially those who struggle with attention deficit, dyslexia, ... Show more

Pro Version at $15.99 per month is required to use this extension on Kindle Read. Be aware of this before you hit that button.
