Download Spree - Speed Reader 1.6.02 on Windows PC – 1.8 MB

Start speed reading today! Read faster than you have ever read

before!
Spree helps you read your content faster by removing the need to

move your eyes while reading. Just add your text, hit done and

press 'Read'!

Spree is a Speed Reader tool that utilizes RSVP

technology to help you read faster! From wikipedia:
"A presentation method called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation

(RSVP) was developed to diminish the resource cost of readers'

eye movements. RSVP is a method of displaying information

(generally text or images) in which the text is displayed word-

by-word in a fixed focal position. This may be used to increase

reading rate or provide access to long text on small displays."

Spree is great for:
Testing how fast you are able to read by adjusting WPM on the

fly. Read up to 1000 WPM!
Helps focus because you are forced to pay attention or risk not

reading words.
Helps you read faster because you do not need to move your eyes

to read.

Permissions:
Internet - Gets article text from websites when shared via "Add

to Spree"
Read External Storage - Allows you to add epub files to Spree

and read them.

How to add material
• Copy & Paste
Copy the material you want to read. Go to Spree, hit '+' and

then either manually paste it into the text field or hit the

Paste button (a clipboard next to the trash icon). Then hit

done.

• Share to Spree
In most apps you can share material to Spree and have Spree get

all the text for you -- For example, in Chrome if you're reading

an article on CNN.com you can go Menu->Share->Add to Spree and

the article text will be added to Spree. Then hit done.

You can do this from many apps, like Pocket, Reddit News, etc.

• Add an ebook (.epub files with chapters required, and

a compatible File Explorer which can be downloaded for free in

the Play Store)
In Spree, hit the '+' button. Then go Menu->Add EPUB, find your

.epub file that is saved onto your phone. Then select the

chapter you would like to add and hit Ok. Then hit done. You can

return to the '+' screen to change chapter by going Menu->Change

Chapter.


***Common issues****
Can't add ebook saved on device - Try downloading another file

explorer like this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?

id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Can't add ebook from dropbox, google drive, etc. - Currently

Spree only supports ebooks stored locally (so just download them

from your app, and then find them in your downloads folder).
