Comp SciRead faster than ever before
Accelerate your reading with AI-powered audio. Listen to documents at up to 3x speed while maintaining perfect comprehension and clarity.
Adjust playback speed from 0.75x to 3x in precise 10% increments for optimal comprehension.
AI voices maintain natural pronunciation and clarity even at maximum speed settings.
Start slow and gradually increase speed as you become comfortable with faster audio.
Compare audio-based speed reading with traditional visual speed reading apps and conventional reading methods.
| Feature | Audio Speed Reading (Listening) | Visual Speed Reading Apps (Spreeder, SwiftRead) | Traditional (Reading) |
|---|---|---|---|
Reading Speed How fast you can process information while maintaining understanding. | 3x speed with full comprehension | 1000+ WPM but poor comprehension | 200-300 WPM |
Comprehension Level of understanding and retention of the material read. | 95%+ maintained at all speeds | Drops significantly above 600 WPM | High but slow |
Eye Strain Physical discomfort and fatigue experienced during reading. | None | High - causes headaches | Low |
Multitasking Ability to perform other activities while consuming content. | Listen while walking, driving, exercising | Requires screen focus | Requires text focus |
Academic Content Effectiveness when reading technical and academic documents. | Excellent for research papers | Poor for complex material | Good but slow |
Scientific Terms Handling of complex technical terminology and pronunciation. | Perfect pronunciation | No pronunciation help | Good but slow |
Note-Taking Ability to take notes while consuming content. | Hands-free while listening | Cannot write while reading | Traditional notes |
Accessibility Support for users with reading difficulties or disabilities. | Great for dyslexia/visual impairments | Limited support | Limited support |

Traditional speed reading apps like Spreeder and SwiftRead rely on visual techniques that sacrifice comprehension for speed, but audio-based speed reading offers a breakthrough solution that maintains both clarity and understanding. While conventional speed reading tools display text rapidly on screen (RSVP method), forcing your eyes to track at uncomfortable speeds, our AI-powered audio technology allows you to absorb information naturally at up to 3x speed without eye strain or mental fatigue
Research shows that listening comprehension often exceeds reading comprehension, especially at accelerated speeds. Unlike visual speed reading apps that require intense focus and can cause headaches, audio speed reading lets you multitask, take notes, and process complex academic or professional content while commuting, exercising, or working. With precise speed control from 0.75x to 3x in 10% increments, you can find your optimal learning pace and gradually increase speed as your audio processing improves.
Students report better comprehension with audio, saying it helps them grasp concepts rather than just memorize facts.
Great way to listen to papers during my commute. Finally, a voice that doesn't sound like a robot.
Already thoroughly impressed! I've used Natural Reader for a while, but this is cheaper, designed specifically for academic papers (e.g., organizes into typical paper sections like abstract and findings), and, in my opinion, has a more natural flow in the AI voice. HIGHLY recommend!
The app is impressive, easy to listen to, no robotic voice, easy to use. Productive use of my driving time. Would recommend.
I tried a lot of text-to-speech apps before finding listening. From the purpose of reading academic books or papers it takes the top spot. It reliable skips footnotes and other content I do not want read out, and this cannot be said for other apps. I’m impressed.
