Overview

Read faster with read.Lab — a minimalist bionic reading extension that transforms any webpage into an optimised reading experience.

How it works:
read.Lab bolds the first few letters of each word, creating visual anchors that guide your eyes through text more efficiently. Your brain recognises words faster and fills in the rest naturally.

Features:
- Toggle bionic reading on any webpage with one click
- Adjustable bold intensity — Light, Medium, Heavy
- Customisable line spacing for comfortable reading
- Dim mode to fade non-bold text and reduce visual noise
- Keyboard shortcut (Alt + R) for quick toggling
- Works on dynamic content as you scroll
- Zero data collection — everything stays in your browser

Perfect for:
- Speed readers looking to increase reading pace
- People with dyslexia or reading difficulties
- Students processing large amounts of text
- Professionals reading articles, docs, or research
- Anyone who wants a more focused reading experience

read.Lab respects your privacy. All settings are stored locally. No data is ever collected or transmitted.
