LetoReader

LetoReader is a versatile speed reader designed to enhance your reading efficiency. It supports high-speed reading for skimming or consuming easy texts at e.g. 400-1000 words per minute. However, it can also be used at lower speeds for better comprehension while still benefiting from Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP).

Due to personal circumstances, LetoReader is currently in a maintenance mode, meaning our main focus is on handling priority tasks related to the repository. New feature requests can still be made here, but may take a while to get implemented. Issues and bugs will still be addressed so make sure to report them.
