About
Read faster without moving your eyes. WordByWord uses RSVP to display text one word at a time in a fixed position, helping you move through books, PDFs and articles at up to 1,200 WPM.
Completely free. No subscriptions, purchases, ads, accounts, analytics or tracking.
BRING YOUR OWN TEXT • PDF and EPUB from Files, chapters kept intact • A printed page, photographed and recognised on the device • Anything you have copied • An article from the web, by address • Share text, a link or a document into the app from anywhere in iOS • Send the page you are reading in Safari straight to your library
READING • 100 to 1200 words per minute, in steps of 25 • Long words and sentence ends hold a little longer, so punctuation is still felt rather than flattened • Each start eases in over the first sixteen words instead of beginning at full speed • Your place is kept in every document • Chapter list, rewind, and pause at any moment
Nothing leaves your iPhone. No analytics, no tracking, no server. The only network request the app ever makes is fetching an article from an address you typed yourself.
Three books are included to begin with: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Frankenstein, and Moby-Dick.
