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

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

This application is available as a Flatpak on Flathub:

A snap version is available on Canonical's Snap Store:

This snap was originally created and maintained by @sameersharma2006

Two packages are available on the AUR: spedread and spedread-git

These packages are maintained by both Igor Dyatlov and me so if you have any issues with the packaging please report them directly onto the AUR

This will require a valid Vala compiler and the GTK4 and libadwaita 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

This will require having the flatpak-builder command installed along with version 46 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
