About

Touch The Classic

Read full description

The app's concept is based on a 2013 research by the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. The research found that reading excerpts from highly intellectual literature met the requirements that assess the cognitive abilities of readers. Reading increases the ability to recognize the feelings and points of view of interlocutors. Other beneficial properties, even short reading, such as reducing cognitive load and stress, increasing the activity of the cerebral cortex, and others are well-known. Touch The Classic is made in a concise design, which allows you to focus directly on reading. App has 2 modes. The classic mode allows you to read generated excerpts, select excerpt’s size, and also select a genre: fiction or philosophy. The quiz mode is made like a game in which you have to guess the book among 2 or 4 answer options.   Touch The Classic allows you to: 1. Immerse yourself in reading for a short time, which especially helps to switch between different types of mental activity. 2. Find inspiration by touching the greatest writers and thinkers of the past 3. Instantly generate small excerpts from literary masterpieces 4. Play in quiz mode 5. Over 50,000 excerpts 6. Two genres: philosophy and fiction

MindSprint — Speed Reading & Memory Training Read faster. Remember more. Think sharper. MindSprint is a focused training app for two skills that matter every day: reading speed, and memory for the details that don't come as words — numbers, dates, and names. WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE Speed Reading Train with a growing library of built-in texts across business, politics, science, lifestyle, travel, and history — or bring your own material. Your Own Texts Type or paste anything you're already reading — an article, a work document, study notes — and turn it into a speed-reading session in seconds. AI-Generated Texts Give the app a topic and let AI generate a fresh reading passage on the spot, at the length you choose. Memory Training Numbers, dates, and names are the details most people forget first. MindSprint trains that separately, with drills built specifically for non-word memory. HOW IT WORKS Set your pace, start a session, and MindSprint keeps you moving at a speed just past your comfort zone — the way real training works. Track your words-per-minute, gradually raise the bar, and watch a skill you use every single day actually improve. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who reads for a living or reads to keep learning — professionals working through reports and research, students covering more material in less time, or anyone who wants to get through their reading list without losing the details. Start free.
