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

This snap was originally created and maintained by @sameersharma2006

AUR

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

Build from source (native install)

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

Build from source (Flatpak install)

This will require having the flatpak-builder & appstream-compose commands installed along with version 50 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
