Spedread

GTK speed reading software: Read like a speedrunner!

This program will show one word at a time rapidly to allow focusing on the general idea rather than single words along with less eye movements

Features

• International
• Play, pause, next word & previous word
• Control the speed at which words are shown

Install

Flatpak

This application is available as a Flatpak on Flathub:

Build from source (native install)

This will require a valid Vala compiler and the GTK4 development files:

git clone https://github.com/Darazaki/Spedread spedread
cd spedread
meson build --buildtype=release --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install

You can also run sudo ninja uninstall from the build/ directory to uninstall Spedread after having installed it

Build from source (Flatpak install)

This will require having the flatpak-builder command installed along with version 41 of the org.gnome.Sdk Flatpak package:

git clone https://github.com/Darazaki/Spedread spedread
cd spedread
dev-scripts/build.sh --install

Spedread will then be installed as a Flatpak application and can be managed as such
