## What is FlowSpeedReader?

FlowSpeedReader is a powerful speed reading app that uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) to help you consume text faster than ever before. Whether you're a student, professional, or avid reader, FlowSpeedReader trains your brain to process words at incredible speeds — all while maintaining comprehension.

HOW IT WORKS
RSVP displays one word (or a group of words) at a time in a fixed position, eliminating the eye movements (saccades) that waste up to 30% of traditional reading time. Your brain focuses purely on processing meaning. Research shows comprehension remains high even above 500 WPM.

IMPORT ANYTHING
• Paste or type text directly
• Import from Safari using the Share Sheet extension
• Fetch and extract articles from any URL
• Import files: PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, Pages, CSV
• Scan physical documents with Camera OCR
• Load from clipboard (text or URLs)

BEAUTIFUL THEMES & FONTS
Choose from multiple gorgeous themes — including dark mode variants — and select from 8 premium fonts. FlowSpeedReader looks stunning and feels great to use.

TEXT-TO-SPEECH (TTS)
Listen while you read. FlowSpeedReader features a full TTS engine with:
• Multi-language support (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, Urdu, and more)
• Automatic language detection
• Multiple voice options per language (Standard, Enhanced, Premium)
• Synchronized word highlighting during audio playback

EYE TRACKING (iPhone X and later)
FlowSpeedReader uses the TrueDepth camera to detect when you look away and automatically pauses your reading session. Configurable sensitivity, pause delay, and auto-resume keep you in the zone.

FOCUS TIMER (POMODORO)
Stay productive with built-in Pomodoro-style focus sessions. Set custom focus and break durations, and let the app manage your reading schedule.

READING STATISTICS
Track your progress with detailed stats: words read, sessions completed, reading streaks, and more. Visualize your improvement over time.
