Run vs Pressly Speed Reader

Run-Through helps actors learn their lines. It includes many options to allow you to learn your lines in a manner that suits you. Whether you are a visual learner, auditory learner, or a combination, Run-Through can help. In general, once you record the lines, there are options to visualize the lines and play back the lines. For example, display your full line, the first letter of each word, or hide your lines completely. On playback, the app can play your lines, mute your lines, wait for you to say your lines, etc. * This is the first app of its kind that can allow you to 'call for line' during a run-through. While the app is waiting for you to say your line, just say "Line" (or a word of your choosing), and Run-Through will play your line and then wait for you to repeat it, before moving on. Perfect for hands-free use (e.g. while driving). * This is also the first app that can provide analysis of a run-through. This shows the time it took to deliver your lines and whether you were word-perfect. While some productions may be more forgiving, if you're being encouraged to "honor the writer's words," Run-Through can tell you how close you are to being word-perfect. So, now you'll be ready for that Mamet or Sorkin production. * Another first for line-learning apps: Run-Through is the first to offer dedicated support for selecting and controlling script playback on CarPlay. So now, you can run through your lines while driving to class, to your audition, or to set; or just running errands. Note that In CarPlay, line listening is disabled so as not to interfere with navigation apps and Siri in the car. Run-Through is an iOS-native app, so it looks and feels like it belongs on your device.

Most speed reading apps give you a play button. Pressly gives you control. Pressly uses RSVP-style reading — one word at a time, fixed to a single focus point — so your eyes never move and your focus never breaks. But speed is not the goal. Comprehension is. BUILT AROUND MEANING, NOT JUST MOTION Text inside double quotation marks automatically italicizes during reading. Dialogue shifts. Quoted phrases stand apart. Spoken words separate from narration. You feel the change in tone without losing your place — a detail no other speed reader has. Smart pauses at punctuation and extra time for longer words give each sentence the rhythm it was written with. Optional context words keep surrounding text visible. ORP alignment anchors each word at its natural recognition point. When the same word appears back-to-back, it grows progressively — a subtle visual signal that keeps comprehension engaged at speed. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROL Hold to read. Release to pause. Lock playback with two fingers for hands-free reading. Tap forward or back to move word by word. Tap the top area to step back. Set your WPM, tune your pauses, choose a theme, adjust your font — then read. Tap the current word while reading to instantly look it up in your device's dictionary — without losing your place. YOUR FILES, YOUR LIBRARY Pressly is a reading tool, not an ebook store. Import your EPUB, PDF, and TXT files, or paste notes, articles, drafts, and copied text directly. Everything stays on your device. No account. No cloud. No subscription to a catalog. A built-in sample book is included — start reading immediately, no import needed.
