I hesitated to add the payment gateway into the Reading Buddy extension. But after considering all the current features including
- Reading Mode
- Meta Guiding
- Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP)
I realized these features are enough for users for improving their speed reading. When I add more features, I can increase the price later.
I also dropped the month plan and only provided the yearly plan for simple purpose.
All features are free to use, but you will be limited the speed reading to 250 word per minutes.
This means if a user want to buy a yearly plan, he/she has more than enough time to use the product and has the final decision
In the past, my speed reading was ~ 280 wpm. I did some research to boost this number up.
I came across 2 techniques: Optimal Recognition Point and Meta Guiding.
With Optimal Recognition Point, each word shown on the screen draws your attention to that word.

The problem is I retained almost nothing after increasing speed to 400 wpm (my goal)
Then I applied the Meta Guiding technique on my Kindle.

I realized a big improvement with this technique. My speed was up to ~450 wpm without losing the comprehensive.
One problem that appeared, holding a pointer or even a straw is fatigue. So I came up with this ReadingBuddy idea
Making an app for Kindle is impossible now, so I want to stimulate this Meta Guiding technique to the web by browser extensions.
Hope you guys can increase the reading speed with my app. 💪 Feel free to receive your feedback!
