Cadence

Read real documents, word by word or phrase by phrase.

Cadence turns pasted text, links and uploaded documents, including long PDFs, into a focused reading session. Focus mode shows one word at a time; Guided Reading moves through a phrase at a time, or highlights each phrase in the full passage. Speed, reading font and text size are yours to set, and progress, history and a weekly rhythm show where you are. No signup required.
