2023. Outread 2.0 adds speed-reading assistant



Outread, the popular speed-reading app, has received a major update - Outread 2.0. The app has been completely redesigned to provide users with an enhanced reading experience. In the new version, users can take advantage of a built-in continuous reading assistant that highlights words that require attention and automatically scrolls text to ensure it is centered on the page. So you can read completely hands-free. Additionally, a new reading speed test allows users to quickly assess their reading speed and comprehension (by reading a text and answering a few questions). Outread 2.0 also now automatically tags content for easier searching and adds better support for shortcuts using the new App Intents platform. Furthermore, the developers have updated the app's design, making it more user-friendly and efficient.

This is well worth the $5 if you are a big reader. It is beautifully designed, plays nicely with read later services and with its own native read later functions. I have a feeling this is only the beginning. You’ll notice your reading speed will increase even when you’re not using it. I’ve tried RSVP apps like Flash Reader; and, while I like them too and see a place for their garden hose-style reading tech, meta guiding is a little more useful. Anyone criticizing the speed reading craze needs to understand a couple things. Don’t sit down and speed read an area where you don’t understand the jargon at all. Example: Don’t read medical journals with this if you don’t understand the jargon. Moreover, relax your mind, focus and let the words in without subvocalizing them and you will be stunned at how quickly you absorb the material. Then, think about it afterwards or pause the reader easily whoever you want. Be patient and you will see a steady rise in your skills. Easy to customize in all sorts of ways that are best for you. Buy this. You’ll love it.

This app was an impulse purchase but I already see its value. I'm getting through my backlog of unread articles pretty quickly now. The integration with Pocket is great and I really appreciate the well designed interface and the default Avenir font is easy on the eyes. I've only been using the app for a few days but I've already been able to turn up the reading speed. Kudos to the developer(s)!

Paid $5 for this app and have no regret. I have Velocity and Flash Reader, but they are more for beaming information to your brain and doesn't help train you to speed read at all. I like velocity UI, but the transition between words make you eyes wander thinking it's rolling. Always hard to fix your eyes. Flash Reader has a blink feature, but there's no way to read normally the full article.

Outread is different in that it presents the full article like Pocket, but it dims down the rest or highlight the focus words. As it moves it help train your eyes to move. I regret not getting it sooner.
