How it works

Three steps. No overwhelm.

Open any article, click Speakmi, and you always know what to do next.

1

See it in short

Get the key sentences first, in the article's own words. Decide in seconds if it is worth your time.

2

Read one part at a time

Short parts, a colourful progress bar and the time left. One big button for what comes next.

3

Keep what matters

Tap any sentence to highlight it. Finish with a recap, a little celebration and your reading streak.

Features

Designed for how attention works

Every choice is there to lower the effort of getting started and keep you going.

⚡

One thing on screen

One short part at a time. Extra controls stay tucked away until you want them.

🎨

Colour-coded progress

Each section of the article has its own colour, so you can see where you are at a glance.

🖍

Tap to highlight

Mark the sentences that matter and get them back in your recap at the end.

📖

Dyslexia-friendly spacing

Extra letter and word spacing, supported by research, in a roomy layout. No gimmick fonts.

🧩

Literal meanings

Figures of speech like "piece of cake" are flagged with what they actually mean.

🌍

English, Deutsch, Bahasa Indonesia

Interface and text handling in three languages, with more planned.

Trust you can check

Not another AI summary you have to take on faith

  • Every point has a source. One click shows the original with that exact sentence highlighted.
  • Fidelity checks. Numbers, names and negations are compared with the source. If an AI rewrite changes one, Speakmi flags it.
  • Evidence labels. Each feature shows how strong the research is. Specialised dyslexia fonts are left out because studies show little benefit.

Speakmi is a reading aid. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and has not been clinically validated. A user study is planned.

Open source (MPL-2.0). Source code (.zip)

  1. Unzip the file

    Double-click the downloaded zip. You get a folder with the extension files, including manifest.json. Keep it somewhere permanent, for example in Documents.

  2. Open the extensions page

    In Chrome type chrome://extensions in the address bar
    In Edge use edge://extensions
    In Firefox use about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox

  3. Switch on Developer mode

    It is the toggle in the top-right corner of that page (in Edge, bottom-left). Firefox does not need this step.

  4. Click "Load unpacked"

    Choose the folder that contains manifest.json. In Firefox click Load Temporary Add-on and pick manifest.json. Then pin Speakmi with the puzzle-piece icon.

  5. Open an article and click Speakmi

    Pick your reading profile and press Restructure this page. Shortcut: Alt+Shift+S.

Store listings (Chrome, Edge, Firefox Add-ons): coming soon. In Firefox a manual install is temporary and is removed when Firefox closes until the Add-ons listing is approved. Email us and we will tell you when it is live.

Chrome may show a "developer mode extensions" reminder when you start the browser. That is normal for installs outside the store. The extension only runs on the page where you click it.

FAQ

Questions

Does it send what I read anywhere?

No. Speakmi runs in your browser. There is no Speakmi server.

Does it rewrite the article?

By default it reorganises the article's own sentences, so the wording cannot drift. The experimental AI rewrite is optional, English only, and every rewrite is checked before it is shown.

Which sites and languages work?

It works best on news and blog articles and Wikipedia, in English, German and Bahasa Indonesia. Pages without a clear article, such as apps and shops, cannot be processed.

Why do I install it from a file?

Speakmi is a beta and the Chrome Web Store listing is not live yet. The file is the same extension; installing it takes about two minutes. We will update this page when the store version is out.

How do I use my licence key?

Click the Speakmi icon, open "I have a licence key", paste the key and press Activate. It works offline.

Which payment methods can I use?

PayPal and debit or credit cards (Visa, Mastercard and more) in USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD or SGD, and QRIS, e-wallets (GoPay, OVO, DANA, ShopeePay), bank transfer and cards in Indonesian Rupiah.

Is Premium a subscription?

No. You pay once for 1 month, 1 year or lifetime. Nothing renews automatically.

Is it a medical tool?

No. It is a reading aid and gives no medical advice.

Which browsers?

Firefox, Chrome and Edge on desktop. The Firefox build is new and still being tested; tell us if something looks wrong. The optional AI rewrite needs a browser with built-in AI (Chrome today); everywhere else Speakmi works in its rule-based mode.
