Readflow turns any PDF, EPUB, or pasted text into a podcast you can listen to anywhere โ€” or a speed reading session that gets you through documents 3x faster than normal reading. TURN ANY PDF INTO A PODCAST Import a PDF, tap play, and Readflow converts it into clear, natural-sounding audio. Listen to research papers, reports, articles, or ebooks while you commute, exercise, or cook. No more being chained to a screen. READ ANYTHING 3X FASTER RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) shows you one word at a time at the centre of your screen. Eliminate wasted eye movement, eliminate subvocalisation, and read at up to 800 words per minute. The Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlights the scientifically ideal letter of each word so your brain locks on instantly. PASTE ANYTHING, READ INSTANTLY The biggest reason people abandon reading apps is friction. Readflow removes it. Copy any text โ€” a tweet, an article, a web page โ€” and Readflow opens it ready to read. No imports, no file management. Just paste and go. PHOTOGRAPH ANY TEXT, READ IT INSTANTLY Point your camera at a page, a whiteboard, a sign, or any printed text โ€” Readflow scans it with OCR and turns it into a reading session in seconds. You can also import a photo from your camera roll. No typing, no copying. Just aim, scan, read.
