Read full description

Speble is a reader that trains you to read faster. Upload your own EPUB, paste an article link, or start with a classic, and Speble paces your eyes at the speed you choose. THREE READING MODES β€’ Stream: the full book text with a flowing highlight that sets your rhythm and stops you from re-reading. Full control: pace (60-1000 wpm), punctuation and paragraph pauses, marker style and color, context contrast, focus mode. β€’ Flash (RSVP): words shown one at a time at a fixed point, with the optimal recognition point (ORP) highlighted. Zero eye movement, maximum speed. β€’ Fixation (eye training): a soft spot guides your eyes through fixed stops on every line. Fewer fixations per line, more rhythm. YOUR LIBRARY β€’ EPUB files up to 20 MB β€’ Articles from the web: paste a link, read without distractions β€’ Classic literature built in β€’ Reading progress remembered for every book EYE TRAINING Six drills that build peripheral vision, focus and pace: Schulte tables, spot the difference, glance reading and more. Levels, points and daily streaks. Training that feels like a game. READING, REFINED β€’ Three themes: dark, light and sepia β€’ Choose fonts, text size, column width, line height and alignment β€’ Screen stays awake while you read β€’ Private by design: your books live locally on your phone ACCOUNT & SYNC Create a free account (email code sign-in, no password) and your books, progress and settings are safely synced and also available in your browser at speble.com. Reading slower every year because everything competes for your attention? Speble reverses that. Start at 250 words per minute and watch yourself pass 400.
