About Speedy - Speed Reading
Increase your reading speed, with content that interests you.
Many speed reading apps want you to perform exercises with pre-defined blocks of text. Speedy helps you increase your reading speed while reading content you're actually interested in.
Copy and paste any text into a new article and start reading at the speed you choose. Pause at any time, switch to another article, and Speedy will remember where you were up to.
As you get comfortable, increase the speed. You can also choose how many words are shown at once.
Speedy now has intelligent word alignment (unrelated to Spritz) to aid your word recognition, centre markers, and when paused displays the words surrounding the current word to provide context.
History
Version 1.2.6
- Bugfix: on some devices, pause button caused the speed to increase rather than pausing.
Version 1.2.5
- light and dark theme
Version 1.2
- Speedy now has intelligent word alignment. When set to display one word at a time, Speedy offsets the word from the centre to help improve your word recognition
- Optional centre markers which help you to focus on the correct part of the screen
- Sentence context. When paused, Speedy shows the previous and next 5 words. This is a very handy way to remember the context before you resume reading

Of the many speed reading apps for Android, this seems to have the most elegant and unobtrusive interface. More importantly, it is great for reading. The ability to read clipboard content is a good start. Would it be possible for future versions to read stored files, especially .epub? Also, it appears that several iOS apps share content directly with Pocket. If that could be implemented, you would have a huge feature advantage over other developers. Thanks, Nick

I have to do a lot of reading for work and school and I have trouble finding the time to fit it all in. This app is great! I'm hoping for added functionality of importing .epub, .pdf, and .doc files.

Can't seem to do anything now that I bought it except read the welcome. How do you get content? No help available.

The speed reading/RSVP part of this app works great, but it's EXTREMELY tedious to get content into the reader. You have to copy the whole article to your clipboard and paste it in. Terrible user experience. There doesn't even seem to be a share intent. I will be requesting a refund, but if this ever gets Pocket integration and share intents, I'll be back in an hot minute.
