Evanreads

Everything Evanreads does, one thing at a time.

The same way the reader works. Free features come first; the rest need a paid plan.

Focused Reading

Calm and focused reading modes.

Line-by-line or paragraph focus mode — One line is lit; the rest of the page waits its turn.
Distraction-free layout — Nothing else to distract your attention.
Bionic reading — Bolded word beginnings give your eyes something to anchor to.

Full-length documents (Paid) — Free version supports up to 5 pages. Paid versions let you read to the end.
Unlimited documents (Paid) — 20 a month becomes as many as the course needs.
Google Drive import (Paid) — Easily import documents and assignments.

Being asked a question beats re-reading by about 50%.

Flagged sections — Mark a confusing or important paragraph, and it will be waiting in one list at study time.
Retention quizzes — 2 per document on the free plan. Know where you stand BEFORE you get to the class exam.

Unlimited quizzes (Paid) — Every section, every document. Quiz yourself to your heart's content.

Avoidance starts with not knowing how much is left.

Pace calibration — "This will take forever" becomes "This will take 12 minutes."
Reading stats — This week's pages, pace, and quiz average.

Full reading history (Paid) — The whole academic term, not just this week.
Streaks and badges (Paid) — Progress you can see when motivation is not there.
My Schedule (Paid) — Your syllabus is organized to help you plan.

When your eyes stop cooperating, your ears keep the pace.

Read-aloud with browser voices — Free on every plan, nothing to install.
Follow-along highlighting — The line being spoken is the line your eyes are on.
Speed control — Slow for theory, faster for what you already know.

Natural voices (Add-on) — A natural, calm voice you can listen to for a full hour.

Set your reading and text preferences once.

Dyslexia reading settings — A friendly typeface on a warm page — the letters stop moving.
Warm page themes — A cream page instead of a distracting white glare.
Text size and spacing — Larger fonts and relaxed word spacing so that your eyes can relax.

Evanreads is a web app — the interactive reader needs JavaScript, but everything on this page is readable without it.
