Jiffy Reader

A Browser Extension for Faster Reading on ANY website!

Jiffy Reader is an extension that allows for faster reading of any webpage. The way that Jiffy Reader works is by taking a certain port of every or some of the words and changing the font weight. For example, in our default settings we take the first half of every word and make it bolder. This allows for a more seamless reading experience. This way, Jiffy Reader guides your eyes seamlessly over the page via the use of these fixation points. This encourages a smoother reading experience while maintaining comprehension of the words. Many people with ADHD have also reported such methods to help them stay focussed while reading. We hope that by using the Jiffy Reader extension you too will be able to read large amounts of text faster, more easily, and with greater comprehension.
