Skipaword shows text one, two, or three words at a time in a fixed spot on your screen, at a speed you choose. This way of presenting text is called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation). A colored anchor letter marks each word. Hold the screen to read and lift your finger to pause. READING OPTIONS • Set the pace from 200 to 2,500 words per minute • Show one word, or two or three words in a row or stacked • Slow down on punctuation and long words • Choose light or dark mode and an anchor color • Open the full text at any time, with adjustable text size and background BRING YOUR OWN READING Import PDF, EPUB, Word (DOCX), OpenDocument (ODT), Pages, RTF, Markdown, HTML, and plain text files, add a web page by URL, or paste text. Skipaword saves your place in each document and shows the pace of your sessions. FREE AND PAID Free: the tutorial, all reading options, one sample reading, and your first import up to 1,000 words. Lifetime Access, a one-time in-app purchase, adds complete imports, unlimited imports, and curated articles from Our World in Data. A NOTE ON SPEED Skipaword sets the pace at which words appear. It does not measure how much you understand or remember, and understanding can fall at higher speeds. Slow down or open the full text whenever you need to.
