Help, Guides and Instructions: Speed Reading Apps

ReadMe! is an e-reader app that allows you to store and sync your favorite e-books across your iOS and Android devices. It's integrated with two unique speed reading tools called BeeLine Reader and Spritz.

BeeLine Reader takes a color-coded approach to speed reading by adding a color gradient to each line of text. The color gradient guides your eyes from the end of one line of text to the beginning of the next line, essentially helping you read faster while easing eyestrain.

Outread is an iOS-only speed reading app that syncs with these services to help you get through your news fix quickly and efficiently.

With Outread, read a book or document one word at a time, or highlight each word as it moves along a line of text. The app's clean, simple interface has a daytime and nighttime theme to match reading conditions to your environment. Add your own e-books, upload Microsoft Word documents, paste URLs to web pages, or enjoy a classic novel from the app's built-in library.

Reedy is a speed reading app for Android that focuses on the RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) method. RSVP minimizes eye movement by presenting words one after another in the same place on the screen. Reedy says its method can foster speed reading of up to 3,000 words per minute.

Reedy supports EPUB, text files, HTML, as well as web links and text imported from other apps. Read in regular mode, speed reading mode, or use its text-to-speech function.
