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
Experimental Windows builds are produced automatically and attached to each
GitHub release as Spedread-<version>-windows-x86_64.zip. Download the ZIP,
extract it anywhere and run Spedread.exe. Those should be compatible with
Windows 10 (or Windows Server 2016) and up
Download those here
To build the Windows package yourself, run the following from the repository root in an MSYS2 UCRT64 shell:
dev-scripts/build-windows.shThe resulting ZIP is written to dist/. The script needs the packages listed
at the top of dev-scripts/build-windows.sh
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 installYou can also run sudo ninja uninstall from the build/ directory to
uninstall Spedread after having installed it
This will require having the flatpak-builder & appstream-compose commands
installed along with version 51 of the org.gnome.Sdk Flatpak package:
git clone https://github.com/Darazaki/Spedread spedread
cd spedread
dev-scripts/build.sh --installSpedread will then be installed as a Flatpak application and can be managed as such
