FocalRead is a speed reading application designed to help users read significantly faster while maintaining comprehension. It uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology to display one word at a time, eliminating eye movement and allowing the brain to focus entirely on comprehension. The app helps users read up to 3x faster than traditional reading methods.
The app features adjustable reading speeds ranging from 150 to 1000+ words per minute, allowing users to start slow and gradually increase their pace. It supports importing content from various sources including PDFs, ePUBs, DOCX files, web articles, X posts, and Reddit threads. Users can save their reading progress, create bookmarks, and save favorite passages. The interface includes multiple themes, chapter navigation with word counts, and shareable quote videos.
FocalRead works using scientifically proven RSVP technology that presents words one at a time with a red highlight marking the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) where the eye naturally focuses. This eliminates the need for eye movement across lines of text, allowing the brain to process information more efficiently. The adjustable pace feature helps users gradually build their reading speed naturally.
The primary benefit is saving time while maintaining comprehension, with users reporting saving 5+ hours weekly. It enables focused reading with zero distractions by presenting content one word at a time. The app helps transform reading habits and improve reading efficiency across various content types including books, articles, and social media threads.
FocalRead targets users who want to read faster and more efficiently, particularly those using iPhone and iPad devices. It integrates with Safari, X, Reddit, and other apps through sharing functionality. The app is designed specifically for iOS devices and supports importing content from multiple file formats and web sources.
