Ever had to read through a an email, book or an article on the web, but felt like it took ages to read through it all?
Normally your brain will attempt to pronounce words you read, which is called subvocalization or internal speech.
Flash Reader removes this limitation by showing you words so fast that your brain doesn't have time to subvocalize, but still allows you to retain everything you've read, by something called RSVP.
Whether it's light reading, or complicated business emails, training your eyes to read faster couldn't be easier, while your reading skill and comprehension will keep getting better and better with each article you finish.

"I was very skeptical at first, then I tried it. Now I'm impressed!!! Using this tool to read a page, blog or instructions made made it seem like it took no time at all. I actually think using this app on a regular basis my even improve my reading skills. I'm so impressed, I'm recommending it on twitter!!!", 5/5 stars -Ninny2U

"Great for readers who find words move on the page!
I can read so quickly with it.
For studying materials - like journal articles - I start slower, read once, then up the speed again and again. Much greater retention than trying to read just in text!", 5/5 stars -Jacqjacq14

Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming! Based on the feedback we receive, we'll add and modify the features as much as we can.
*Please note:
Flash Reader DOES NOT have advertisements of any kind.
Services such as Instapaper, Pocket, website article saving and certain file-specific document conversions have limits and might require the Flash Reader Pro upgrade, which is a permanent one-time payment that unlocks all features of the app.
Some services (including PDF and ePub importing, as well as Microsoft Office files like DOCX) require an active internet connection when importing.
Also note that Flash Reader does not have voice support, so no text-to-speech or anything like that.
I just learned that you can import ebooks in epub format into Flash Reader. This is a game changer. My only wish is that a table of contents could also be imported to make it easier to navigate the book.
A Few Major Flaws but Otherwise Great

For the most part, I love this app. It helps me concentrate on boring article, speeds up my reading, and it is mostly an easily navigable app. One major problem us that the resume times are horribly inaccurate and it can be hard to find your spot in larder texts. Another feature I would love to see is a 10 second rewind button. Something will catch my eye and I’ll look away for two seconds and end up having to reread a whole minute because when going backwards, it is very difficult to get to the right spot.Will keep using!
Love it. But know it's limits

This is outstanding and is better than any spritz app I have used. According to the developer this predates spritz so don't expect spritz. Also if you have a kindle...there is no spritz reader on the market that works for kindle (nice one star review). The work around is to download a program that converts kindle files to text. Then upload your books and voila! Having bought almost every speed reader, this is the one I would get.

I don’t do much reading, nor do I read at a good pace. This app has helped me get through books at a pace that is very satisfying. It also helps read books electronically in a way that is revolutionary. Reading books on a phone or tablet should not just look like electronic books. The technology should be used to revolutionize how we read. This app does that.
Lots of improvements under the hood, including bug fixes.
