About Quick Read: RSVP Speed Reader & Cloud OCR
Master the art of speed reading with Quick Read!
Quick Read utilises RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology to help you read faster and absorb information more efficiently. By flashing words one at a time at a speed you control, we eliminate eye movement time, allowing you to consume content up to 3x faster.
Whether you are a student scanning research papers, a professional getting through emails, or just want to read more in less time, Quick Read is your companion. Meet "Mr. Hoot," your guide to better productivity!
KEY FEATURES:
π Smart "Read Article" Mode
Automatically detects the main content of a webpage. Quick Readβs intelligent scraper ignores ads, sidebars, and footers to give you a clean, distraction-free reading queue.
π· "Scan Image" (Cloud OCR)
Found a PDF or an infographic? No problem. Quick Read captures a screenshot and uses the powerful OCR.space API to extract text from images instantly.
π Read Pasted Text
Want to read a specific paragraph, not the whole article? Copy and paste it manually to save even more time.
THE READER EXPERIENCE:
Adjustable Speed: Set your WPM (Words Per Minute) from 50 to 2000.
Smart Navigation: Rewind 10 words if you lose focus, or reset to the start.
Auto-Save: Your place is saved automatically. Close the tab and resume later.
Visual Customization: Toggle Dark/Light modes, adjust font size, and use the "Red Focus Letter" (ORP) to centre your attention.
