## What Outread does

Outread shows text in small chunks at a pace you set: either a highlighter guides your eyes along the page, or the current phrase stays in the centre of the screen.

You set the speed in words per minute and the chunk length, and add text from websites, the share sheet, a pasted link or, with Outread+, DRM-free ePub, PDF, Word, RTF and TXT files.

It includes reading exercises, a test of reading speed and comprehension, and reading stats.

## Who Outread suits

- People who read many web articles and want a paced reader
- Readers who want to measure their reading speed over time

One limit: Outread cannot open DRM-protected ebooks, such as Kindle books and most Apple Books titles.

## Outread and AI

AI inside, as the maker says: The maker's App Store page says Outread can AI translate text you add to the app into many languages. ([source](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/outread-speed-reading/id778846279))

## What Outread costs

Free tier: Free plan. Outread is free to download; Outread+ is sold in the app as a weekly, monthly, yearly or lifetime purchase, with family options.
