speedread is a terminal-based Spritz-style speed-reading tool that displays text word-by-word to help users read quickly while maintaining comprehension. Inspired by the original Spritz reader, speedread shows one word at a time with alignment to the optimal recognition point (ORP), allowing users to consume content faster than traditional reading methods.

Features

  • Displays text word-by-word in Spritz format
  • Supports reading from stdin, files, or piped input
  • Adjustable reading speed (words per minute)
  • Simple command-line interface
  • Minimalist, distraction-free reading experience
  • Lightweight and fast execution in terminal
