ReadMaxx helps you get through more of what you want to read — whether you want to read it faster or understand the essentials in seconds. Import a PDF, EPUB, Web Link, or text you’ve pasted in. Then choose how you want to engage with it: read using ReadMaxx’s RSVP speed reader, or generate a concise summary and key points to quickly understand what matters. - Read faster - ReadMaxx’s RSVP reader presents one word at a time at a controlled pace, reducing eye movement and helping you maintain attention while reading. Optional haptic cues reinforce the structure of what you’re reading, from subtle taps at the start of each word to stronger signals at sentence boundaries — helping anchor attention without pulling focus away from the text. - Understand faster - When you don’t need to read every word, ReadMaxx can summarise your content for you.
