Read with Speed™
Improve your Reading Speed
What this shortcut does
Improve your reading speed and comprehension with Read with Speed™. You can use this shortcut with share sheet, as a widget or directly from the Shortcuts app. Demonstration on Vimeo: Read with Speed™ Simply highlight some text (e.g. from Notes , your favorite news, a script or whatever…), open share sheet and select Read with Speed™ . When starting the shortcut directly from within the Shortcuts app or the Today View , your clipboard content will be automatically loaded into Read with Speed™ . Next the shortcut opens a new window, where you can start speed reading. Simply tap the READ button to start. Hit it again to PAUSE reading. A slider is used to give you the possibility to change the reading position. The default Words Per Minute (WPM) is 200, but you can adjust it as you like with a slider. The shortcut will remember these settings. That said, even if you quit the Shortcuts App your WPM settings will remain if you use Read with Speed™ again. By default words with less than four characters will merge and display together to improve the reading speed. The whole design is responsive and will display great starting with iPhone 5/SE. The default font size is 32px, but you can change this to your needs with a dedicated slider. This setting will be saved as well, so you don’t need to change it each time you use the shortcut. There’s even a Dark Mode toggle, if you like it white on black! This Shortcut is available exclusively on.co. If you find it somewhere else, it's a fake. Please let me know in the comments below if you found this Shortcut somewhere else. Thanks.
