Sentence Stepper
Sentence Stepper: A Focused Reading Tool
Reading online is full of distractions. Sentence Stepper helps by breaking down text into a single, highlighted sentence at a time. It’s built for anyone who needs to reduce visual clutter to focus, including neurodivergent readers, language learners, or anyone who gets lost in dense paragraphs.
How it works: The tool isolates the current sentence and mutes the rest of the page. You move forward and back at your own pace using a small toolbar or keyboard shortcuts (Alt
+ Left/Right
). This creates a clear reading path, cutting through the noise and helping you concentrate on one idea at a time.
Designed for need, not noise:
- Custom Highlights: Choose a highlight style that works for your eyes—a box, underline, gradient, or none.
- Simple Control: A minimal toolbar puts all the controls in one place.
- No Data Collection: Everything happens on your device. What you read is your business.

Note: The add-on works best on standard articles and text pages. It needs permission to read the current tab's text to function, but cannot access anything else.
