HOW IT WORKS 1) Open the page, PDF, or book you want to read. 2) Click the SwiftRead icon in the toolbar (or press the keyboard shortcut you set) and choose SwiftRead current page. 3) The text opens in SwiftRead's reader. Pick a reading mode and speed, or turn on text-to-speech. READ FASTER AND STAY FOCUSED Three reading modes guide your eyes through the text, so you keep your place and your pace: • Focus shows a few words at a time in one spot, so your eyes stop traveling across lines and you can raise the speed. • Flow keeps the full page visible and moves a highlight through it, so you keep your place and the context around it. • Spotlight hides the surrounding text so the words you're reading stand out. Set your own fonts, themes, spacing, and Reading Speed, and switch modes anytime. LISTEN WHILE YOU READ Text-to-speech reads aloud with synced word highlighting in all three modes, so you can keep going when your eyes are tired. For many people, seeing and hearing the words together helps them stick.
