AI Reader

Speed-read any text file directly in VS Code using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) — the same technique behind Spritz and spread0r. Words are shown one at a time with the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighted in red, eliminating eye movement and letting you read at 300–800+ WPM without leaving your editor.

Features

• RSVP Speed Reader — one word at a time, ORP-aligned and centred
• Smart pacing — longer words and punctuation automatically get more display time
• Sentence-end pause — configurable blank pause after ., !, ?, : to let each thought land
• WPM control — slider from 100–1000 WPM, saved across sessions
• Jump controls — skip ±10 words with arrow keys or buttons
• German compound word support — hyphenated Komposita split automatically

Usage

1. Open any text file or select a passage
2. Press Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux), or right-click → AI Reader: Speed Read
3. Press Space to start reading
