About Tiny Reader

Tiny Reader is a Speedreader-App, which helps reading huge texts verry fast without loosing focus.

Also known as speed reader, RSVP reader, Spreeder, or Spritz reader.

On demand of many users i ADDED TTS. Don't expect to much, it's nearly impossible to synchonize the display with the sound-output. Open the options menu and tick the feature to use it.

If you experience any Problems with this app or if you wish any improvements, please send a mail to peterspaceapps@gmail.com, i want to make it work for everyone.

After choosing a text to read, it is shown word by word. The eyes don't have to re-focus every time and you won't miss a line while reading in a car. This is is a huge increase of reading speed.

For orientation you can display the text before and after the word. Through hyphenateing even long words aren't a problem and the Wiki-Hot button helps if you don't know a word.

Additionally you can insert texts by every android-manner as the send-to function.

Love the fact that you can change the font size and also that you can set it to momentarily pause at the end of each sentence which makes it feel like a more natural reading experience for me. Like how you can set it to show the sentence before and/or after so you can just tap the screen to pause it and reread something easily if you need to. Be nice if it had landscape option too but still the best speed reader I've tried so far!

This is the best audio book reader so far! I've tried to download other apps but I ended up in this one. Simply because this app is awesome! :) Perfect!

An outstanding program, simple, light, yet customisable. I've been using it for many years. Keeps crashing on my new galaxy tab s, after reinstalling many times i decided to return the tablet, i can't do without tiny reader.

I have tried several spritz readers. This app is among one of the better ones that I have tried. I only wish it had more capabilites as a normal ebook reader. Also would like to see the ablity to change the screen orientation added as a feature. The TTS feature is a big positve not seen in other spritz readers. Overall good App.

The only spritz app that has TTS support, albeit a bit out of sync with display but better than not having it. I can use it to listen when my eyes r needed elsewhere. Eg. I could take a walk and listen to my book at the same time. Navigation is easy too. It's able to break down the book in chapters and can scroll back and forth. I wished that it had 2 lines around the text, like other spritz app, one above and one below. I also wished that I can change the background to dark grey. I'm using Nightmode atm.

I probably have a dozen RSVP (spritz-like) apps on my phone. This one is by far the best. My primary requirements are * epub support * keeping track of my last read location * ability to scrub forward/backwards relatively easily. This one has all of that, and plenty more. * It shows images in epub books (I don't believe any other reader does that). * It gives me context (shows a few lines of the text before and after the word I'm currently reading)

It works again. The powerful new features make this app, once again the best on the free market.

Sigue mejorando, pero faltaría que se pueda rotar el texto para poder aprovechar el dispositivo de manera horizontal

Problems loading some pdfs, otherwise this would be the best of its class. I would love to give 5 stars if developer could address bugs.

This is my favorite rsvp app so far because it works well with a variety of my files. The update has fixed all of my previous issues.

I love the app but it stopped working after the update. Please try to fix it!

With all this talk of Spritz I have become increasingly interested in flashcard-style readers, and after downloading every single one available on the Play store - and many of those available on iTunes as well - I have to say that this one tops them all. Apps like Speed Reader do a poor job of importing .pdf files, often mangling the words surrounding punctuation into one illegible mess. Tiny Reader opens .pdfs flawlessly. I haven't figured out how (if it's even possible) to import kindle books, but working from the clipboard or other imported documents couldn't be easier. Also - a word of advice to the developer - I'm not sure why, but your app didn't come up in a search for speed reader, RSVP reader, Spreeder, or Spritz reader. It might benefit you to drop these keywords somewhere in your description. Keep up the good work!

Tried it with pdf in night mode and worked fine; and even worked well with Arabic web pages....it'll be nice to support changing the word color or its illumination to make it more comfortable for the eye during long time focus and concentration

Something is wrong with detecting spaces

tried to open a pdf file and it crashed. Unfortunately since it autosaves the reading position..eveyrtime i open the app, it tries to re-load the same file..which ends up crashing the program again immediately. Had to uninstall. also would be nice to see things in terms of words per minute instead of milliseconds.
