"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonAbout Readio Speed Reader
A more intelligent speed reader, Readio Speed Reader was created from the ground up with a sleek and simple design to make reading more enjoyable. You may get started right away because we place a high importance on speed and simplicity. Readio inserts a quick access button in the bottom right corner of every readable page and tries to locate the appropriate material on each page automatically. You can use the editor to paste your own material or view the text that has been automatically recognized using the fast access buttons. Any text on a page can, of course, be selected and viewed by right-clicking. We have included a number of settings so that you can tailor Readio to your tastes because we understand that everyone has their own preferences. Among these settings are dark/bright themes, text positioning and highlighting, font styles, speed adjustment, and many more.
Most popular feedback for Wear Reader
App works better than well I want to say thanks for the app. A few reviewers point out that the Apple Watch auto-off setting interrupts reading. And though at first this was disappointing, I found that by placing my finger on the edge of the screen while using the app the auto-off never triggers. I hope people are aware of this! A simple mod that turned Wear Reader into the app I'd been waiting for. Productivity doubled. Well, best wishes and thanks for this weird fabulous idea. I believe that all mobile reading apps will l be rapid serial within 7 or 8 years and hope you folks get some deserved credit for that.

About Wear Reader
You can speed read while you're on the go with Wear ReaderTM. You won't ever need to take a book out of your backpack again, whether you're in a bus, train, or subway. You may start reading right away by simply uploading your preferred book from a supported format to your iPhone or Android device and connecting your Apple Watch or Android wear. Wear ReaderTM swiftly displays text on the screen, one word at a time, to quell internal babbling and enable quick reading while maintaining comprehension. Need to go back because you missed a spot? No issue! To fast-forward and rewind, simply swipe up and down on the screen or press the appropriate buttons. To take a break and assess your progress, press once to halt the stream. Tap again to resume. Everything is done by the app. You can read longer without becoming tired because your eyes won't be skipping from word to word. Even a night mode is available on the Android version for reading in the dark late at night.
Readio Speed Reader reviews
Could be 5 stars if: - Supported R2L languages - Could press Space-Bar to start reading the selected text - There was a dark mode

The best RSVP extensions I've run across so far. I wish if there was a "ticker" mode, that could've been even better because the eye as it speeds up will try to read more than one word at a time. I'm waiting to see such a feature in this amazing extension.

Best and simplest application of ORP / speed reading I've seen - and I've been looking a while!

Wear Reader reviews
If this worked as intended, this app would be amazing. Books on your wrist, everywhere you go! And actually an attractive interface as well. But constant crashes hold it back. I’m trying to reinstall again - I don’t want to give up on it yet! Developer, please fix the reliability.

I had my Apple Watch for about 8 months before finding this app and admittedly I didn't use it much and was a little disappointed I had spent the money on it. However, after finding this app I won't be caught without my watch. I love that I can read anytime I have some down time. Whether I'm waiting in line, riding the subway or taking a break at lunch all I have to do is look at my wrist to catch up on my reading. I prefer to read using the Traditional Method where I manually scroll through "pages" of the book with many words on the screen at one time instead of the speed reading method that shows one word at a time, but I'm sure some people prefer the other method. Definitely worth using this app.
