This is the best 'spritz' style speed reading app in the play store. I have downloaded all of them and none come close to this one. The only thing it's lacking is a short pause after a sentence break. I will gladly give 5 stars if this feature is added. Sometimes sentences can seem to run together if you miss a period (especially above 600wpm) A highlighted primary letter (like other apps) would be a huge plus as well.

The reading part is ok, but finding a specific page or part in the text is difficult. Should have a regular view as well to navigate easily when not in speed reading mode

The app really helps. I mean, it literary "trains" you to read faster. Also it is simple and straightforward, which are excellent aspects in any app. However, it kind of limits itself. It only permits you to read files of certain types, excluding PDF documents (which I think is one of the most commonly used). If PDF documents are included in the types of files that can be read, the app will improve significantly. If this detail is considered and put as an update to the app, I'll review better.

Simple, but it has all the right parts. The only thing that I would really, really like to see added is a pause at punctuation marks.

What is the max file size you can copy from the clipboard? The summary says that the file has been loaded but not shown, then when I go to the read scree it doesn't have the entire file. Would be helpful to know

Seems like it would be great but haven't had a chance to try it because it won't load text from files or from clipboard.

About this app

**NOTE: This app appears to work on some phones, but not on many others. As a hobbyist programmer, I have moved on to other interests and currently am not working on an update. I see some people are still enjoying it, so I am leaving it in the marketplace for free without ads as it always has been. Feel free to see if it works for you!

Rapid Read - a speed reading training and facilitation program!

Rapid Read is a speed reading app using rapid serial visual presentation (similar to the website spreeder) to allow you to quickly display your reading content from the clipboard, any website, or a file (.txt or .html). Can be used as a training program to reduce sub-vocalization and increase comprehension, or simply use it to read your favorite content faster! Speeds of 400-700 wpm are commonly attainable with the first use of the program.

Fully adjustable interface allows the user to select number of words displayed, reading speed, and position within the text. Use the "share" feature of your phone's web browser to easily send content to the app.
