## What is SpeedRead?

Your text, one word at a time. SpeedRead displays words in the center of the screen. Choose a display pace and pause whenever you need to.

READ YOUR OWN CONTENT
• Paste your own text and set a pace for the session.
• Import PDFs with an existing text layer on iPhone and iPad. Text extraction runs locally on your device.
• Keep imported texts in your library and return to your saved reading position.

EXPLORE YOUR PACE
• Start with the built-in reading challenge or choose a preset speed.
• Tap to pause and resume when you are ready.
• Review completed sessions, word counts and selected speeds in your local profile.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Light and dark appearance.
• English and German interface.
• Optional profile name and a picture from your photo library.
• No account required. No in-app purchases.

Your library, reading positions and profile are stored on your device. The app does not provide cloud synchronization.

WPM describes the selected display speed, not a measurement of comprehension. SpeedRead does not guarantee a particular improvement in reading ability.

PDF import requires an existing text layer. Image-only scans and locked PDFs are not supported; OCR is not included. Complex layouts may affect text order. Keep your original documents separately.
