Read faster without turning reading into a game. Speed Reader is a speed reading app that shows text one word at a time using RSVP and Spritz-style speed reading. Your eyes stay still. You start around 300 words per minute and can work up to 750 WPM or more when the pace feels right. How it works: Paste text, share an article from another app, grab what’s on your clipboard, or paste a website link and the app will try to extract the article for you. Hit play. Words appear in a fixed spot so you spend less time scanning a page and more time actually reading. Use it for: • Articles and news you would otherwise skim on your phone • Study texts and long assignments • Emails, notes, and anything you can share or paste • Full web pages, when you only have the link • Your own writing, when you want to hear the rhythm at speed Special words: Speed reading should match how you read, not the other way around. Add any word or character as a special word — a period, a name, a heading — and decide what happens when it appears: • Extra delay, so the end of a sentence actually lands • Split the text there • Stop the reading Add as many special words as you want and tune each one. That is how you keep 750 WPM from turning into a blur. Features: • Adjustable words per minute • Spritz speed reading with an optional focus point • Speed reading lines for visual support • 1 to 10 words on screen at once • Pause whenever you need to stop • Write or paste your own text • Share text from other apps and start reading immediately • Read from the clipboard • Paste a link and extract the page to speed read • Special words with delay, split, or stop • Light and dark themes This is not a course and not a book library. It is a fast reader for text you already have — in the app, from share, from the clipboard, or from a URL. The more you use Speed Reader, the easier higher WPM feels. Try it when you want a speed reading app that reads your pages, not just a demo paragraph. https://vanniktech.de/SpeedReading/privacy_policy.html https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Choice Helper

Features
Read full description

Choice Helper helps you choose the best option when there are more than two alternatives. Add photos, texts, ideas, or decisions with pros and cons, and the app will run a series of pairwise comparisons to reveal the most stable result. You do not have to rate everything at once or keep dozens of options in your head. At each step, you answer one simple question: which of these two is better? After each answer, Choice Helper refines its model of your preferences, selects the next most useful pair, and stops when it has enough data. Use it when you need to choose: • the best photo, screenshot, gift, or visual reference; • a name, headline, wording, idea, or piece of text; • a purchase, trip, plan, project, or another decision with arguments. Features: • 3 modes: images, texts, pros and cons; • start with 4 or more options; • adjustable depth: faster or more precise; • “I can’t choose” button for difficult pairs; • undo the last answer; • result with the leader’s chance, gap from #2, and nearest alternatives; • warning when options are close or answers contradict each other. Choice Helper is built for personal decisions where a simple pros-and-cons list is no longer enough. You just compare two at a time, and the app turns your answers into a clear picture. Privacy is built into the core of the app. Choices, images, texts, arguments, and results are stored on your device. Core workflows work offline. No account, subscriptions, ads, third-party analytics, or server-side processing of user data.
