Athena Reader is a smarter, easier, more accessible way to read. Using eye tracking and artificial intelligence, Athena’s patented technology detects when, where, and how fast you are reading and automatically scrolls the display accordingly. If you can’t touch your screen or you prefer not to, you can use simple eye gestures to swipe up and down. If you have trouble focusing or remembering what you read, Athena’s reading rulers paired with Eye Control, will help keep you on track. Key Features: -Reading Detection with Smart Scroll tracks when, where, and how fast you are reading and automatically scrolls the content for you. If you skip a few lines or read past a picture, Athena scrolls that much more. -Simple Eye Gestures allow you to swipe up and down with the blink of an eye. -Use eye tracking to move the cursor and test gaze estimation. -Choose from three different reading modes to accommodate your reading needs, Fullscreen, Focus, and Highlight. -Reader view automatically strips out the clutter, like ads, pop ups, and other distracting elements so you can focus on what’s important. -Share content from any web browser or iOS application directly to Athena.
