Add-on summary

Your eyes can "skip" over the words and text with Readhook. Like a surfboard that only glides on the waves' crests. Readhook is a new way for making reading easier by using artificial fixation points to guide the gaze through text. As a result, the reader's attention is drawn solely to the highlighted starting letters, leaving the word to be completed by the brain center. Readhook attempts to foster more in-depth reading and understanding of written content in a digital environment dominated by shallow kinds of reading.

Any website can benefit from the plugin. Readhook is still accessible as a beta version for now. If you enjoy the plugin, a 5-star rating would be very appreciated. Thank you for your support, and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
