Readrrr uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation to show words one at a time in the same spot, and a natural voice can read each word aloud as it appears. Your eyes don't have to jump across lines, so you don't lose your place and read faster. Seeing and hearing every word at the same time also keeps your mind from drifting. Start at your normal pace and speed up as it gets comfortable. A Readrrr subscription or one-time purchase includes everything below: RSVP READER Every word has one letter marked in red for your eyes to rest on, so you never have to look for where the word starts. You can change the speed at any time. NARRATION Pick a voice and it reads along in sync with every word at any speed. The voice runs on your phone, so it works offline. SHORT READS Non-fiction you can finish in 10 to 20 minutes, on topics like history, health, science and economics. Each one is written to be read in Readrrr and sits in a collection with related reads. New ones come out every week, and you can suggest a topic. READ ANYTHING Import PDFs and EPUBs, send an article from Safari with one tap, paste text, or scan pages from a paper book. APP LOCKING Pick the apps that take up your day. Starting at 4 am they stay locked until you've read your daily word goal. Every day you hit it adds to your streak. If you really need one of them, you can unlock for 10 minutes once a day. HIGHLIGHTS Save any passage while you read. Readrrr sorts your highlights into themes and brings old ones back to you in the app and in a Home Screen widget, so you don't forget what you read. STATS Track your reading speed, words read and streak as they grow. SYNC Your library, reading position and stats stay in sync across your devices. SUBSCRIPTION Readrrr requires a subscription or a one-time purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage them in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://www.ocule.no/readrrr/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Phrasa is a native teleprompter for speakers who need a dependable stage, not another account dashboard. WRITE AND ORGANIZE Create scripts on your device. Search, tags, folders, sorting, duplication, and autosave keep a growing library tidy. IMPORT AND EXPORT Bring in TXT, Markdown, or PDF. Export a script as text or Phrasa JSON. Back up or restore your full library with an explicit merge or replace confirmation. SPEED PROMPTING Use smooth continuous motion or line-by-line stepping, scrub through a script, adjust pacing, mirror the display, change the reader theme, blackout the stage, and review a short rehearsal recap when you finish. VOICE FOLLOWING Let the prompt follow along as you speak using the microphone and Apple Speech Recognition. On-device recognition is required when the device supports it; otherwise Apple Speech may process audio using Apple services and an internet connection may be required. The Phrasa app uses recognized words in the moment to follow your place; Phrasa’s developer-operated servers do not receive or store microphone audio or speech recognition text. OUTLINE PRESENTER Build ordered talking points and step through them with touch, keyboard, or clicker-style controls. LOCAL FIRST, OPTIONAL SYNC No account is required for local use. Library, editor, reader, import, export, and backup work offline on your device. Optionally sign in with Apple (primary) or email to sync scripts, folders, tags, and outlines across your devices for App Functionality only. After you sign in, that library content synchronizes automatically on launch and foreground, and shortly after you save library changes; Sync now is also available. Unsaved drafts are not uploaded. Reader settings stay on each device. No ads, tracking, or subscription. Phrasa is built natively with Swift and SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad. OPEN SOURCE Phrasa is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Read the code, audit how the app handles your data, report issues, or contribute: https://github.com/memfactorduke/phrasa-app
