# SpeedLens

> SpeedLens is a Chrome extension for speed reading, built for Indian professionals who read heavily as a job requirement — product managers, analysts, researchers, consultants, and lawyers. It helps users clear their reading backlog: newsletters, industry reports, research papers, and anything that piles up faster than they can read it. Priced in Indian rupees with UPI and net banking support via Razorpay.

SpeedLens offers two reading modes: Flash (RSVP) and Bionic. It is free for 10 reads per day with Pro plans starting at ₹99/month. It is live on the Chrome Web Store and works on any webpage where text can be selected.

## Reading Modes

- **Flash Mode (RSVP)**: Words appear one at a time, centered on screen with Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighting. Eyes stay fixed — no movement, no losing your place. Best for high-volume reading: newsletters, news articles, summaries.
- **Bionic Mode**: The first 40% of every word is bolded. The brain fills in the rest — reads in a natural flow, just faster. Best for material that requires retention: research papers, client reports, complex documents.
