App Description

Ever had to read through a an email, book or an article on the web, but felt like it took ages to read through it all?

Normally your brain will attempt to pronounce words you read, which is called subvocalization or internal speech.
Flash Reader removes this limitation by showing you words so fast that your brain doesn't have time to subvocalize, but still allows you to retain everything you've read, by something called RSVP.

Whether it's light reading, or complicated business emails, training your eyes to read faster couldn't be easier, while your reading skill and comprehension will keep getting better and better with each article you finish.

Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming! Based on the feedback we receive, we'll add and modify the features as much as we can.

*Please note:
Flash Reader DOES NOT have advertisements of any kind.
Services such as Instapaper, Pocket, website article saving and certain file-specific document conversions have limits and might require the Flash Reader Pro upgrade, which is a permanent one-time payment that unlocks all features of the app.

Some services (including PDF and ePub importing, as well as Microsoft Office files like DOCX) require an active internet connection when importing.

Also note that Flash Reader does not have voice support, so no text-to-speech or anything like that.
