## What is readHD?

Read faster, focus longer, and eliminate visual crowding with readHD. Engineered specifically for readers with dyslexia, ADHD, executive fatigue, or visual strain, readHD transforms dense text into clean, structured focus channels.

KEY FEATURES

1. FIXATION ANCHORING
Automatically bolds the first letters of words to establish clear visual anchors. Your brain glides across paragraphs with reduced eye strain and faster comprehension.

2. SPOTLIGHT READING RULER
Isolate line-by-line focus with an adjustable spotlight ruler. Distracting surrounding lines are softly blurred while your active line stays sharp. Built-in line detection automatically skips empty spaces.

3. COLOR GUIDE ZEBRA STRIPES
Alternating soft tints separate text lines to eliminate horizontal glare, pattern stress, and accidental line skipping.

4. AUTOPACED AUDIO AND TEXT SYNC
Listen with natural text-to-speech while words highlight in real time. Use Ghost Mode to fade inactive text for deeper concentration.

5. RSVP SPEED READING
Present words one at a time at speeds up to 1000 WPM with an optimal anchor point. Eliminate eye-movement lag entirely for fast, low-fatigue reading.

6. SCIENTIFIC EYE COMFORT THEMES
Choose from carefully calibrated themes including Charcoal, Cream, Sepia, and Calm Green to match any lighting environment.

7. BRING YOUR OWN KEY AI TOOLS
Connect your own API key for on-device private summaries, simplified explanations, and automatic study flashcards.

8. DISTRACTION-FREE BRAIN DUMP
Quickly park distracting thoughts into a local notebook without losing your reading position.

9. BUILT-IN CLASSIC LIBRARY
Instantly download and read over 1500 public-domain classic literature titles across 19 categories with zero waiting time.

10. OFFLINE-FIRST AND SECURE
Import your personal DRM-free PDF and EPUB files. Everything stays stored privately on your device.
