## 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!
