Velo Reader

About the startup

You have a stack of books and papers you keep meaning to finish. Velo gets you through them without trading away comprehension. RSVP mode shows one word at a time on a fixed focus letter, so your eyes stop jumping and re-finding the line and more of your attention goes to meaning. Turn it up to move through familiar prose; turn it down as a focus aid for dense material. Reader mode is a clean page view with highlights and notes. Scrub drags through the text with momentum to catch up or find your place. All three share one exact reading position, so you can switch mid-sentence. The import pipeline does the unglamorous work: chapters, footnotes, running headers, two-column academic layouts, scanned pages via OCR. Your books stay on your device; nothing is uploaded for ordinary reading. Free: three of your own books, an unlimited public-domain library, highlights and notes. Pro adds an unlimited library, Enhanced Processing for hard PDFs, cloud sync and export. iPhone, iPad and Mac. Try the engine in your browser first at veloreader.com/read.
