SnapRead turns the printed books you already own into a fast-reading experience. Photograph a page. SnapRead recognises the text on your device, then shows it one word at a time so your eyes stop jumping across lines. The technique is called RSVP, and it is the simplest way to read faster without skimming. HOW IT WORKS 1. Point your camera at a page of a book you own. 2. Text recognition runs on your device, in seconds. 3. Press play and read at the pace you choose. YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE Text recognition happens entirely on your device. Your page photos are never uploaded, never stored in the cloud and never shared with anyone. READ AT YOUR OWN PACE Set the speed in words per minute and change it mid-sentence. Jump ten words forward or back. Pause and resume with a single tap on the focus box. Turn on pauses at punctuation so sentences still feel like sentences. EVERY BOOK REMEMBERS WHERE YOU LEFT Each book keeps its own position, down to the word. Open it tomorrow and continue from exactly there. SEE HOW FAST YOU ACTUALLY READ Real numbers instead of guesses: average and best words per minute, your reading streak, total time spent, a seven-day chart and a breakdown by book. EDIT WHAT YOU SCANNED Recognition is good, but paper is paper. Every page stays editable: fix a word, reorder pages, or remove one you no longer need. WORKS OFFLINE Scan, read and track your progress without a connection. Sign in and your library syncs across your devices when you are back online. EASY ON THE EYES A warm light theme for daytime and a proper dark theme for night, following your system setting or your own choice. TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Browse the app and read the included public-domain sample books as a guest. You only need an account when you want to add your own books and keep them in sync. BUILT FOR IPAD TOO The layout adapts to the larger screen instead of stretching a phone view. Interface languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Japanese. SnapRead is free and supported by ads. The free plan holds up to 3 books. SNAPREAD PRO (OPTIONAL) - SnapRead Pro Monthly: auto-renewable subscription, USD 3.99 per month. Unlimited books, no ads, full statistics. - SnapRead Pro Lifetime: one-time purchase, USD 59.99. The same benefits, forever. - Remove Ads: one-time purchase, USD 49.99. Removes ads only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SnapRead at none against Epub Reader's 4. Epub Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
