## What is Velo?

You have a stack of books you keep meaning to finish. Velo gets you through them — without sacrificing comprehension.

THREE MODES. ONE SEAMLESS POSITION.

RSVP Mode — Words appear one at a time at your chosen speed, up to 1000 WPM. Eliminates subvocalization and eye wandering so you can read at your true thinking speed. The fastest way to read on a phone or tablet.

Scrub Mode — Drag to scroll through text at variable speed with momentum physics. Slow down for dense passages, accelerate through familiar sections. A sliding context window keeps you oriented.

Reader Mode — A beautiful, distraction-free page view with highlights and notes. For when you want to settle in and read at your natural pace.

All three modes share your exact reading position. RSVP a chapter at 500 WPM, drop into Reader to re-read a key paragraph, then jump back to speed. No progress lost, ever.

DROP A PDF. GET A REAL BOOK.

Most readers treat PDFs like flat images. Velo's Smart Import pipeline automatically detects chapters, extracts footnotes, strips running headers, and resequences two-column academic layouts. Scanned books work too — Vision OCR extracts text from photographed pages and structures it into clean prose.

Enhanced Processing uses AI to handle the most complex academic PDFs. Pro includes 20 Enhanced Processing conversions per month. Need more? Credit packs (10 for $4.99 or 50 for $19.99) never expire.

We don't sell data, run ads, or track what you read.
