SquirrelSuit makes reading on your phone a pleasure.

Forget small print, and unnecessary scrolling. SquirrelSuit brings the words to you, allowing you to read comfortably right on your phone.

SquirrelSuit also makes speed reading a breeze!

Manual speed reading is a learned skill. You must learn to move your eyes quickly and consistently. You must eliminate backtracking. And you must stop sub-vocalization. All of this takes brain power, and takes away from reading.

You can outsource these processing skills to the computer - this is where SquirrelSuit shines. By bringing the words to you, you can keep your eyes fixed. After using SquirrelSuit for a few minutes, you will find that you are no longer sub-vocalizing, and that there is no need to backtrack (although you can scroll if necessary).

To begin reading with SquirrelSuit, you simply touch the screen. The UI will fade away and all you will see is the words you care about.

If the words are going too quickly, slide your thumb to the left, to slow down. If the words are too slow, slide your thumb right. SquirrelSuit will adjust its speed seamlessly, on the fly!

To pause, simply lift your thumb. SquirrelSuit will pause instantly. No fighting with buttons, or interfaces. SquirrelSuit just works.

The best way to get text into SquirrelSuit is to connect with Pocket. Pocket is a tool to save articles for later (getPocket.com). SquirrelSuit can access your pocket account, and allows you to read, archive and delete articles without leaving the app.

If you dont have Pocket, getting text into SquirrelSuit is as simple as copying and pasting a link to an article you would like to read. You can also paste in any block of text, and SquirrelSuit will help you read it - fast!
