2023. Outread 2.0 adds speed-reading assistant



Outread, the popular speed-reading app, has received a major update - Outread 2.0. The app has been completely redesigned to provide users with an enhanced reading experience. In the new version, users can take advantage of a built-in continuous reading assistant that highlights words that require attention and automatically scrolls text to ensure it is centered on the page. So you can read completely hands-free. Additionally, a new reading speed test allows users to quickly assess their reading speed and comprehension (by reading a text and answering a few questions). Outread 2.0 also now automatically tags content for easier searching and adds better support for shortcuts using the new App Intents platform. Furthermore, the developers have updated the app's design, making it more user-friendly and efficient.

2023. Speed-reading app Spreeder adds tags



Spreeder has introduced a new feature called Spreeder Tags, which allows users to assign tags to their books, similar to labels in Gmail. This feature allows you to sort and manage books, making them easier to find and read later. It's a convenient tool for organizing reading lists for both personal and professional purposes. The updated version also includes user interface improvements: book colors now correspond to their categories. This visualization helps users easily group and organize books by category.


2022. Bionic Reading - reading app that your eyes will love



Bionic Reading is a mobile application (for iOS and Android) that alters texts by emphasizing the most crucial parts of the words. This technique directs the eye across the text, helping the brain retain and process the words more swiftly. They provide an online tool that allows you to upload a book, which will then automatically transform the standard font into bionic reading format. The apps enable you to upload text, files, or even online articles from a website, which are then automatically converted to a bionic reading format. Users can download the book as an EPUB or PDF to their PC or MAC. The files can be sideloaded to your preferred e-reader using Windows Explorer, Apple File Manager, or third-party tools such as Sigil or Calibre. The app also includes Send to Kindle functionality, allowing you to wirelessly transfer the bionic reading book directly to your Kindle e-reader.


2015. Spritz - speed-reading app that wants to change the way people read


New speed-reading app Spritz aims to revolutionize the reading experience and improve communication efficiency by presenting content one word at a time using patented redicle technology. The app highlights the key letter - the "optimal recognition point" - and keeps the reader's attention there, enabling faster and more comfortable text flow, even in tight spaces. This technology can also be integrated into various media formats, such as books, photos, maps, videos and websites. Through partnerships with popular news sites, Spritz allows users to stay up-to-date on global events while improving their reading speed and comprehension.
