Floating Speed Read is a fast reading tool, inspired by Spritz!
It's read bar can float over any app and brings
real multitasking to speed read.

You can use 'share' any text out of any app, that can use android's 'share content',
to take over text into 'Speed Read'.

A second option to take over text is, to copy text to android's clipboard and paste it it into Speed Read's textbox.

While speed reading, you have to focus to the colored character!
May be, you need some training for faster reading!

Use a slider,to control reading speed for your personal needs!

Any import document from PDF or epub format never get converted. Now I trying to get refund.

Z70%
by Z####:

Only one really annoying problem, not able to reposition the live position marker

F70%
by F####:

After only 5-10 minutes I was comfortably reading at 450 words a minute! This app is amazing....

L70%
by L####:

Would be brilliant if it could read my kindle books and documents and also word documents. Any chance? Also, when sending text from a web page it only copies the url and heading, not the whole page of text. Needs fixing.

V70%
by V####:

Closest thing I've found to Spritz so far. However, .txt, pdf, epub, etc. is a must for future releases though.

K70%
by K####:

Design could definitely use an redo/upgrade though.

E70%
by E####:

A great aid to speed reading but looking forward very much to epub and pdf integration along with if possible Play Books support. Once cross reading platform is supported 5 stars is assured.

R70%
by R####:

This has great potential but so far only reads the header of the page. I'm thinking this is an issue that I have yet to figure out. An faq would be helpful. Still no way of reading post th get header of the page. It causes my text select/copy controls to no longer work in order to manually paste into the reader window. :-(

K70%
by K####:

But usability suffers too much for actual use. I tried reading a Google Book and a webpage in Chrome. No success within my refund window.
