WordRunner – Speed Reader
Read faster. Focus deeper.
WordRunner brings speed reading to your iPhone using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) - the same technology used by professional speed readers. Words are displayed one at a time in a fixed focal point, eliminating the eye movement that slows most readers down.
Features
Read EPUB, PDF, and plain text files
Adjustable speed from 100 to 900 words per minute
Dynamic pacing - automatically slows at punctuation and long words
Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighting to anchor your focus
Auto-saves your progress so you never lose your place
Jump to any position in your book with full-text search
Clean, distraction-free dark interface designed for long reading sessions
How it works
Open any book or article, set your speed, and tap play. WordRunner guides your eyes word by word — no scrolling, no distractions. Most readers see noticeable speed improvements within their first session.
Perfect for
Students, professionals, and curious readers who want to get through more books, articles, and documents in less time.
