LetoReader is a versatile speed reader designed to enhance your reading efficiency. It supports high-speed reading for skimming or consuming easy texts at e.g. 400-1000 words per minute. However, it can also be used at lower speeds for better comprehension while still benefiting from Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). In this step by step guide I will show you how to install LetoReader on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest LetoReader Main Tag release.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

STEP 8

The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.
