1st of all. Im not an Dev and an english speaking person. But I want to share an awesome App with the new cool speedreading technology "Spritz".
There is an GitHub Project called https://github.com/OnlyInAmerica/OpenSpritz-Android.

I've grabbed from GitHub the source an packed in an app.
So you can read EPUP with the spray idea.
The following features are included:
- Adjust the speed (WPM)
- Pause function
- forwqard backward rewind (with chapter)
- Invert mode

For opening of EPUP it is more practical to look for a file explorer out the book and then open the app. Within the app you can also open books.
Note: Long words will be displayed double-spaced.

Who wants to test the app can download the APK for Android here

I guess there should not be any reason to use an foreign language. Should I?

This is awesome! Just tried it out, seems to work fairly well for an early build.

Few issues I encountered when I opened an epub:

- The WPM isn't consistent, seems to speed through a few words, then slow down, then speed up again.
- Sometimes multiple words are shown together.
- There were some meta data displayed, like font size, etc.
- Not sure if the chapter selection is working correctly

Some of this might be attributed to my epub file, I'd have to test it out with multiple files to get a better feel for it.

The only thing that is missing is syncing reading positions across devices, like through Gdrive. Once the issues above are resolved and the syncing is added, I can definitely see this being used as my main reader app! :)

But so far, solid start! :good:

The none consistent wpm isn't a bug, it's a feature ;)
Yeah unfortunately long word's aren't divided.
The meta is in your epup. Just skip the 1st chapters.

Syncing is a really big deal.

Well the one time it actually let me download the download failed at like 150k. Please host elsewhere! :)

Edit: eventually got it by searching Google. Works well but I wish there was a better way to track where I'm at in the book. This speed reading thing is really cool and I'm excited to see this project progress!

How about you put it on a Google drive download. Uploaded does NOT play nice with mobile browsers.

Was just checking this out on Github and noticed that this app is now in the Google Play store, called Glance Reader by David Brodsky. I can't post a link sorry.

Does this apk have the IAP garbage removed? I can't even use Glance, it just crashes without a Google account due to IAP. Would love to see this in F-Droid.

    You couldn't put the apk on a legitimate website?
