About this app

BlitzRead is a speed reading app built for readers who want full control over their experience. Using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), BlitzRead flashes one word at a time at your chosen pace - keeping your eyes fixed in one spot, reducing fatigue, and letting you absorb more in less time. Its the perfect companion for students, professionals, and anyone with more to read than hours in the day.
Unlike other speed reading apps, BlitzRead puts you in the driver's seat. Adjust your speed on the fly, set your exact starting position, and pick up exactly where you left off every time.
Import your own PDFs and EPUBs, or paste any text directly into the app. Speed through a news article, a Wikipedia page, or your own notes. Save it for later or read it and move on. Whatever you're reading, BlitzRead lets you stay in control.

BlitzRead is designed around how humans actually read. Each word is anchored to its Optimal Recognition Point (ORP), so your eyes always land in the natural fixation zone with minimal effort. Punctuation pauses insert natural breathing room at the end of sentences, so reading fast never feels like a blur. Intelligent resume snaps you back to the start of your last sentence when you return to a session, so you never lose your place mid-thought. Every one of these features can be toggled on or off, and you can set your base reading speed and speed increment to match exactly how you like to read.
BlitzRead is built around your content. Import any PDF or EPUB directly from your device, paste in a news article, a Wikipedia page, or your own notes, and manage your library however you like. Add what you want, remove what you don't. Your reading list is yours.
