Flash is a FREE speed reading app that allows you to read large texts fast by flashing words one by one. You can read up to 1000 words / min using this technique. The app is inspired by an iOS app Spdr.
Hello, ProductHunt!
Flash is a FREE speed reading web app inspired by an iOS app Spdr.
I really loved the idea of Spdr, but I primarily read on my laptop, so I decided to create a web version.
The app allows you to speed read a lot of text by flashing (get it? 😅) words one by one rapidly. It supports virtually any rate and has a Dark mode and Light mode.
Let me know what you think 🙌🏻
Also if you like the app and find it helpful, or hate it and want to rant or have improvement suggestions, be sure follow me and hit me up on Twitter 🙂
@rdev I've experimented with these before ... I'd love to see a product that delivers this in a way that feels gamified or fun. Personally I never stuck to it and just went back to old fashioned reading.
Is there a chrome extension for example to 1-click read a medium article (which is opened and in the active tab), which gives me an overlay (similar to normal reader extension) for speed reading? Or do I always need to manually copy the text?
@aviaryan123 It treats spaces and line breaks the same way and change of paragraph always (at least in my Medium tests) resolves as multiple spaces, so it'll give you a slight pause between paragraphs.
@aviaryan123@rdev I just copy/pasted an article, and every for every blank line (which separate paragraphs), it's displaying "Flash - A Speed Reading App". It's quite jarring. If you can fix this, I'll use this regularly. Thanks.
@aviaryan123 Great idea to use for reading articles. I could easily follow along with 500 wpm and the format of words flashing keeps me focussed and I don't need to scan.
