## What is LucidRead?

An Accessibility-First Reading & Listening Experience.

Designed specifically for blind and visually impaired users, our reader strips away the complex, clutter-filled interfaces of traditional apps to deliver a pure, distraction-free reading and listening experience.

Whether you rely on VoiceOver or prefer a high-contrast, minimal UI, enjoying your favorite books has never been easier.

==================================
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS READER
==================================

• 100% ACCESSIBILITY-FIRST DESIGN
Fully optimized for iOS VoiceOver with custom rotors and complete gesture controls. Seamlessly control playback with Magic Tap (two-finger double tap), skip chapters with a three-finger swipe, or exit via two-finger scrub. No more hunting for tiny buttons!

• ZERO ADS, ZERO DISTRACTIONS
No pop-ups, no banners, and no accidental redirects. Enjoy a clean, safe environment where you never have to worry about being taken to unexpected ad pages.

• FLEXIBLE & EASY FILE IMPORTS
Bring your own library effortlessly. We support multiple TXT and EPUB import methods:
  1. Open In / Share Sheet: Tap any TXT/EPUB file in Files, WeChat, or Safari and select our app to auto-import and start listening immediately.
  2. Local File Picker: Clean, accessible, auto-detecting file manager that automatically handles character encodings (UTF-8, GBK, etc.).
  3. Web / Wi-Fi Transfer: Easily send books from your computer or phone via a local web address.

• SMART LOCAL TTS & AUDIO CONTROLS
Powered by iOS system speech synthesis, offering clear male and female voices. Freely adjust playback speed and pitch, with background playback, headphone wire controls and Lock Screen integration.

• INTELLIGENT CHAPTER PARSING
Imported plain text files are automatically split into chapters or logical sections for smooth, accessible navigation.
