KReader (pronounced K-Reader or kreeder, I haven’t decided yet) is a javascript tool and wordpress plugin to enable (force) speed reading of large blocks of text. The idea is from spreeder and the basic layout idea is from litebox/slimbox/etc. At the moment KReader is very minimal looking - it could use some love making it pretty if anyone is interested.

The wordpress plugin adds a link to the end of all your posts that a user can click to KRead your article. This will overlay a simple window that pops the words up rapidly, essentially forcing you to speed read it. The window can be closed by clicking outside of it or hitting the X in the top right corner.

For KReader I wanted to focus on simplicity, so I removed a lot of the options I was originally going to include like font, font size, text color, and background color, cookies to remember your word speed, and a progress slider. I may still add these in later, but first I want to get the plugin working and in action on my blog. Hopefully I will be able to get some useful comments and suggestions at that point.

Not Yet Feedback will help me release this sooner.

Usage:

See the readme or kreader.js for details on usage. Essentially you just import kreader.js like any other javascript (AFTER importing mootools), then in your page call:
KReader('id_of_object_whose_innerhtml_you_want_to_read');
