SPEED READING

Increase your reading speed in 1.5-2 times straight away! If you wish you could read 3 or even 4 times faster than usual without the slightest loss of meaning.

Reedy uses a technique called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) allowing you to read with any comfortable speed. Words are shown fast one after another on the same place of the screen which increases the speed of perception of every single word. With RSVP you can read being entirely absorbed into a book.

Look straight at the displayed word and try to perceive it without subvocal articulation. Also, don’t forget to blink. This recommendation can be applied not only to reading :) You should never let your eyes’ surface get dry.

Increase the speed when you get used to and think you’re ready.

✔ Touch the screen to play or pause;
✔ The speed of reading is up to 3000 words per minute with a possible gradual acceleration;
✔ Progress bar and time left till the end of a book;
✔ Quick preview of the full text (including text formatting, images, tables, etc.) during a pause in the speed reader;
✔ Smart slowing – reducing the speed at punctuation marks and complicated words;
✔ Focus mode – the focus point is shifted closer to the beginning of a word;
✔ Navigation through the sentences and paragraphs;
✔ Switch easily between the regular reading and the speed reading;
✔ Use volume buttons to control the speed reader:
— Press any volume button once to stop or proceed the reading. Press and hold to navigate through sentences;
— Or just use volume buttons for quick speed adjusting.

Ratings and reviews

Cutting to the point. The voices have a nice veriety, clariety in each word that is spoken and the pause at the end of each period makes me forget that its text-to-speech to the point it sounds like someone is reading to me. Only request I have is that you can adjust the length of the pause after each period like you can with the reading speed. 10/10 and will donate to show my support! Wife is happy to have the honey-do list being tended too more often and I can enjoy my books while at work too!

As a student with a learning disability this app is very helpful because you are required to focus and not allow your kind to wander. I have significant adult onset ADHD and it's particularly bad when I am anxious during the college semester. Finding this app helped put me at ease, because I'm a slow thorough reader. If I try to speed read myself my mind will wander and inevitably I slow down again. How's that PDF support coming? Will be recommending to peers.

Used in conjuction with a loaded better custom voice this is a very good reader. Especially given the fact its free. The only problems I've had with it is the slightly confusing interface. I couldnt figure out how to input a link again after I did it once. Also some wiki features are broken in this app. Its best to use this with text files rather then its default web browser.
