Jiffyreader Public Archive
This project is a browser extension reading assistant and speed reading tool. It functions as a web accessibility interface that modifies the appearance of text on websites to help users skim content more quickly and reduce eye strain.
The tool implements bionic reading acceleration by bolding the initial parts of words to create visual anchors. Users can customize this experience by adjusting fixation strength, word intervals, and visual styling such as colors and opacity.
The software covers broad reading enhancement capabilities, including layout management for line height and dark mode, as well as distraction-free reading via element visibility control. It supports multi-language localization and allows for site-specific reading preferences.
The extension uses content script injection and iframe parsing to apply these enhancements across various web domains.
