FocalRead

FocalRead is a speed reading app designed to help users read significantly faster while maintaining comprehension. Using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) technology, it displays text one word at a time at a controlled pace, allowing readers to minimize eye movement and reduce distractions. The tool is available for iPhone and iPad and focuses on delivering a streamlined, focused reading experience for digital content.

Key features of FocalRead include the ability to import and read PDFs, ePUBs, and web articles directly within the app. Users can adjust reading speed, font size, and other display settings to match their comfort level and gradually increase pace over time. The RSVP-based interface helps users maintain concentration on the current word, which can support faster reading without the need for manual scrolling or page turning. The app is designed to be simple to use, with an emphasis on quick setup and straightforward navigation of imported documents.
