Read with your scroll wheel

FingerRead highlights text one character or one word at a time as you turn the scroll wheel. Select a passage, scroll, and the highlight follows your hand. No text-to-speech, no preset reading speed — you control both pace and position.

How to buy

  1. Install FingerRead from your browser's extension store.
  2. Open the extension's options page and sign in with your email — we send a 6-digit code, no password to remember.
  3. Pick a plan. Payment opens in a separate page; your membership activates automatically once the payment completes.

Your membership is tied to your email account, not to a device, so the same purchase works on every browser and computer you sign in from.

FAQ

Does it read the text aloud?

No. FingerRead is a visual highlight, not text-to-speech. It is designed for people who read faster than a fixed speaking rate and want the screen to keep up with their eyes.

Do you see the pages I read?

No. Highlighting happens inside the page you are reading. The extension talks to our server only to check your membership status. Page content, URLs, and selections are never sent.

How many devices can I use?

As many as you like. Your membership is attached to your email account, not to a device or an installation.

What is the trial, and do I need a card?

New accounts get 7 days with all features enabled, including word stepping. No card and no payment details are needed to start the trial.

Which browsers and languages?

Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, and others) and Firefox. The interface and documentation are in Chinese; character and word stepping work for any language, with word segmentation tuned for Chinese.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — see the refund policy. In short: 14 days from your first purchase, no questions asked.

What happens if I lose access to my email?

Write to hi@microstep.today and we will help you move the membership to another address you control.
