SpeedRead

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

Simple command-line interface
Minimalist, distraction-free reading experience
