    Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on textbooks and research papers

  • If you want to try it out on a PDF, I have implemented this in sioyek PDF reader:

    https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek

    You need to enable experimental features in `prefs_user.config` by adding `enable_experimental_features 1` and then enable this mode using `toggle_fastread` command within sioyek.

    I also experimented with more sophisticated algorithms, you can read about the experiment here:
