How to keep screen on while reading something

While reading some detailed articles on the web in Safari,I face a lot of problem.The screen goes dim and then turns off.

Is there any way by which I can program my mac in such a way that it automatically detects that I am reading some article and the screen doesn't off or go dim ??


Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I don't know of any software that detects when you're reading the screen - that's not to say some doesn't exist.


I'm sure there used to be an option to elect whether the screen should dim before sleeping/screen saving, but I can't actually find it. I'm on an iMac, maybe it's laptop specific and I haven't got one any more to check.

At least if it dims first you've got the chance to touch a key/mouse/trackpad to prevent it sleeping.
