Oculé

Send the current article to Oculé and start reading.

Oculé turns any article into a focused speed-reading session. Click the Oculé icon on a Wikipedia entry, news story, blog post, or essay. The extension detects the article body, shows you the title and word count, and when you click Read now, it will open ocule.app in a new tab with the text loaded and ready to read at your pace. What it does - Extracts the article body using the same engine as Firefox Reader View (Mozilla Readability) - Strips captions, sidebars, footnotes, and other non-prose noise - Hands the text off to ocule.app, where one word appears at a time (or a guided reading session) - Adjustable speed up to 1,000 words per minute. What it does not do - No tracking nor analytics. - No accounts. - No data leaves your browser except the article text itself, sent to ocule.app over a local handoff to start your reading session. - No backend. No storage beyond what the page you are reading already uses. Permissions, plainly - "Read your data on websites you visit" — required to extract the article text from the page you are currently viewing. Only runs when you click the icon. - "Tabs" — required to open the new ocule.app tab. Free. Open. Quiet.
