Wisp is a calm auto-scroll reader: the text rises at exactly the pace you set while your eyes stay near the centre of the screen. No page turns, no tapping, no losing your place. Bring your own books and PDFs — or send Wisp any web article and let that flow too. This is not word-flashing (RSVP). It is a continuous, natural flow — so you keep comprehension and the rhythm of real sentences. WHY WISP • Auto-scroll that respects your reading — one smooth, continuous stream. • Set your speed in words per minute; change it live with a slide. • Tap to pause or resume. Drag to jump anywhere, then flow on. • Focused mode spotlights the active line — tune the focus strength to your eyes (Pro). • Your speed and your place are remembered for every book. • Four paper tones (white, warm, dim and true black) and a choice of typeface, previewed live as you set them. • Pause and look away: when you resume, the text eases back to your pace instead of jumping to full speed. • Set an optional session goal, and see time left at your own pace instead of percentages. READ ANYTHING — ARTICLES FROM THE WEB • Share a page from Safari, or paste a link, and Wisp strips it down to clean reading text. • Filter your library to just articles, each with the time it takes at your pace, so you know what a five-minute gap can hold. • Once saved, an article reads offline — no connection, no tracking, no clutter. YOUR LIBRARY • Import your own TXT, EPUB and PDF files. • Bookmark any spot, add a note about the thought that pulled you away, and return to it exactly. • Local-first: everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up. LISTEN • Have any book or article read aloud with your phone's own voice, free. • The page follows the voice and the spoken sentence is highlighted, so you never lose your place. • Set the narration pace from 0.5× to 2×. • Pro adds natural English and Turkish voices that run on your device, fully offline. FREE & PRO • Your first 3 books are free, plus 5 web articles every month. • Go Pro for unlimited books and articles, natural Listen voices and focus-strength tuning — as a yearly or monthly subscription. Made for ADHD and focus reading, dyslexia, studying, and anyone who reads better when the words come to them.
