Read web articles and selected text one word at a time, with adjustable speed, compact placement and full-screen reading. Read web articles at your own pace. Fixate shows readable article text or your selection one word at a time, in the same spot on your screen. Adjust the pace to suit the material and your comprehension. HOW IT WORKS • Click the Fixate icon (or press Alt+Shift+F) on any article. • Fixate finds the article text and skips menus, ads, sidebars, comments and cookie banners. • Press Space and read. One letter of each word is highlighted in red and always lands in the same place, so your eye never has to search. TWO WAYS TO READ • Compact (default): just the word, floating over the article. The page scrolls along like a teleprompter, with your current word highlighted in the text. Controls appear only when you hover. Double-click any word in the article to read from there. • Full screen: a calm, distraction-free reader over a dimmed page. Press M to switch. BUILT FOR REAL READING • Smart pauses: lingers on commas, full stops, long words and paragraph ends, so sentences don't blur together. • Pause to see context: the paragraph appears with your word highlighted. Click any word to jump there. • Jump by sentence, rewind a word, or click the progress bar. • 100–1200 words per minute, 1–3 words per flash. • Dark, light and sepia themes; sans, serif and mono fonts; adjustable size. • Position the compact reader with a 0–100% horizontal slider; your position is remembered. • Speed-read just a selection: highlight text, right-click → "Speed-read selection". • See how much time you saved after each article. KEYBOARD Space play/pause · ←/→ word · Shift+←/→ sentence · ↑/↓ speed · M compact/full · Esc close FREE AND PRO • First-time users get 14 days of Fixate Pro free, no card needed. • After that, Fixate is free for 3 articles a day. Texts under 150 words never count. • Fixate Pro removes the limit: unlimited articles, every day, plus every new Pro feature. PRIVACY Fixate reads the page only when you click it, and the text never leaves your computer. No tracking, no ads, no analytics. Payments are handled by ExtensionPay and Stripe. SUPPORTED PAGES Works with readable web articles and selected text. Chrome internal pages, the Chrome Web Store, PDF viewers and text inside embedded frames are not supported. Extraction varies by website.
