Ravon Speed Reading vs NextSpeedReader

Ravon is a speed-reading app built on RSVP: words are shown one at a time at a fixed focal point, so your eyes stop jumping across lines. The name comes from Tajik "ravon" — smooth, flowing. WHAT MAKES RAVON DIFFERENT • Focus Mode — a five-word window with translucent neighbors. It restores the peripheral context classic RSVP strips away, so comprehension holds even at high speed. • True multilingual support: correct Cyrillic and Latin tokenization with per-word optimal recognition point (ORP) alignment. • Smart timing: punctuation pauses, paragraph ramp-up, longer display for long words, shorter for function words. FEATURES • Two reading modes: Focus Mode and classic single-word RSVP • 100–1000 words per minute, adjustable on the fly • Per-text speed memory • Import: paste, clipboard, PDF, TXT, EPUB, DOCX • Scan pages with the camera (on-device recognition) • Share articles from Safari — the text is extracted automatically • Library with exact resume: continue from the very word you left • Comprehension check: short questions after you finish a text • Stats: words, minutes, pace, and reading streaks • Customize everything: background (OLED black, dark, sepia, light), colors, font, size, neighbor opacity, alignment • Dark theme and landscape support PRIVACY Ravon collects no data. Your texts, settings, and stats never leave your device. No analytics, no ads, no trackers.

SpeedReader shows a book's text one word at a time, always in the same spot on the screen, at the pace you choose. Your eyes stop scanning lines and your attention stays on meaning. This is RSVP (rapid serial visual presentation) — a way to read faster with less fatigue. READING • 100 to 900 words per minute, 1–4 words at a time • Space to pause and resume; left/right arrows step one word, up/down arrows change speed (with a keyboard on Mac and iPad) • Slightly longer pauses at periods and commas, so the text reads naturally • Clean text: page numbers and repeated running headers (including chapter titles) are removed, hyphenated words are joined • Optional highlight of the optimal recognition point (ORP) • Word typeface of your choice: sans-serif, serif or monospaced BOOKS • Import PDF, EPUB, FB2 or plain-text (.txt) files from your device or cloud storage through the system file browser • Scanned PDFs or PDFs with a broken text layer: recognize the text on your device (OCR) once and read it • Pick the pages (or chapters, in an EPUB) to read first and skip contents and front matter • The library remembers where you stopped in every book • Named bookmarks return you to the exact word • Table of contents from the book itself or from detected chapter headings • Full-text search: find a word or phrase and start reading right there • For PDFs, "Open this place in the PDF" shows the original page with the current sentence highlighted QUOTES • One tap saves the current sentence with the book and page number • Add author, publisher and year and copy a ready citation: "quote" — Author. Title. Publisher, year, p. N • Quotes are grouped by edition; copy them all at once PRIVACY • No sign-up, analytics or ads. Books, bookmarks and quotes stay on your device. Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, in English and Russian. Made by Vlad Sitnikov. Inspired by Anton Bulanov and his book "The Nature of Cunning" (Природа хитрости).
