Read Easy is a calm, distraction-free reader that makes text easier and more comfortable to read — especially helpful for anyone who finds dense text tiring. • Adjust the font, size, letter spacing, line spacing, and a soft background — no harsh black-on-white. • Listen: the app reads aloud and highlights each word, and the focus follows the voice, line by line. • Focus ruler dims everything except the line you're on. • Add your own text: paste, import TXT, Markdown, RTF, HTML, PDF, or Word (DOCX), scan a page with the camera, or pick a photo — with on-device text recognition. Private by design: no accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device.
