“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 Branson
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.
Dioci2018You 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.
If you are in the market for tools to help you process digital content fast and easily, Spritz and RSVP technologies might be the way forward. ReadMe! does offer an ambitious approach here and has benefited more than 100,000 users so far (cross-platform). Tip – Keep in mind these approaches will not teach you any methods that you could also apply on paper books. It will simply highlight words or phrases one after another. If you want to learn methods, please browse our blog or look at our Spreeder review (see link further above).
Mark WaysOne of the most well-known names for storing and managing all of your favorite eBooks on both Android and iOS devices is ReadMe! However, you might be perplexed as to why an eBook organizer is included in the list of the Best Speed Reading Software. Spritz and BeeLine Reader, two fantastic tools for speed reading, with which it is integrated. Each line of text on BeeLine has a color gradient adjacent to it that directs your eyes from the end of one line to the start of the next, allowing you to read more quickly. With the use of the Spritz tool, you can read one word at a time at a specific WPM rate, increasing your word-per-minute reading speed to 1,000.
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.

- on the Spritz selecter, two magnifying glasses icon is confusing - the part you move should be a handle, and it can still have the move icon. - far as I can tell, no way to zoom images. Many books have maps with small details you need to zoom in to see. - I like that you don't add copywrite info when I copy text from a book.

I downloaded the ReadMe! App so that I could download my college books to an app that would read it to me during my long commute. The description said it was possible but I was never able to get that functionality to work. To top it off, I downloaded the pdf ebooks to the app but when I would try and read my chapters, the app would go blank as if nothing was on the screen. I had to repurchase the book to my iPad iBook because i could take the chance of it glitching during an exam. The only reason I gave it two stars vs one is because when I could read the books it was easier to view than the standard iBook format.

What ReadMe! Means to me. ReadMe is a valuable addition to the reading and comphrension tools in my learning tool box. I am an immigrant and a little self conscious about my my command of the English language. This program is not an end-all, but a practical instrument for improving reading/writing/comprehension skills. This application is a good learning platform and the undue criticism of its practicality, user-friendliness or issues with bugs appears at times seems deliberate and uncalled for. I have enjoyed many months (12+) of reading with the application and apart from requiring me to log in with more frequency than I like the application has worked flawlessly.

Annoying Bugs |
Quite a number of reviewers and users are irritated by the fact that Wear Reader™ does not disable the automatic screen shut-off function |
This means that the screen will automatically turn off the display while you are still reading |
Traditional Mode Useless |
Most reviewers are of the opinion that the traditional mode (where you can have blocks of text displayed, allowing you to scroll up and down) is utterly useless |
The text is too small and when the font size is increased the entire purpose of this mode is negated |
It does not accept imports from iBooks due to legislation, |
