Read word by word, at the speed of light. · Version 1.1
Tap the + button in the bottom right of your Library, or “Add new text” on the Read page. You can import PDF, Word (.docx), EPUB, and plain text files, enter a web address, or paste text from your clipboard.
Your progress is saved automatically. Just tap the “Continue” card on the Read page or the book in your library — reading resumes at the exact word you left off.
On the reading screen, tap the word to open the bottom panel and adjust the speed (WPM). You can also change your lasting preference under Settings → Speed. If you're just starting out, 250–350 WPM is a good range.
The text size stays fixed; words too long to fit on screen are split into hyphenated parts and shown one after another for readability. Choosing a smaller text size means fewer splits.
Under Settings → Reading view you can choose the background, text, and focus letter colors, along with the font and its size. Reading colors are independent of the app theme.
Create a folder from the + button in your Library. Long-press a book to enter selection mode, then use “Move” to send it to a folder. If you delete a folder, its contents move back to the library — nothing gets deleted.
Everything lives on your device, and only there. Sakkad works without an internet connection; your texts are never sent to any server.
