How Glowread works
Three moves from scroll to finished book.
Built for students, professionals, book lovers, and lifelong learners.
Read
Scroll a feed of 1,000+ book summaries over ambient video, or bring your own PDF or EPUB. Speed-read one word at a time, from 100 to 1,000 WPM. Prefer to listen? 24 AI voices read while every word lights up in sync.
Memorize
Finish a summary and its key ideas become recall cards. These flashcards resurface right when you'd start to forget. Daily streaks hold the habit.
Speak
Record yourself explaining what you read. Glowread checks your take against the book's key ideas. If you can say it, you know it.
The feed: book summaries, TikTok-style
Doomscrolling, rehabilitated.
You already scroll an hour a night. Glowread doesn't fight the habit. It rewires it. Every swipe is a book summary: the core ideas of a real book, set over slow ambient video, in a feed that moves like film. When something grabs you, tap in and go as deep as you want.
AI narration, word-synced
Hear it. See it. Same instant.
Twenty-four studio-grade AI voices read to you while every word lights up on screen. Your ear and your eye stay locked to the same syllable. It's karaoke for nonfiction, and it's how a commute becomes a chapter. Download any narrated book and listen offline, anywhere.
Reading is a conversation with the sharpest minds who ever lived.

Speed reader
One word at a time. All of them, faster.
The 100–1,000 WPM speed reader.
RSVP stands for rapid serial visual presentation. It flashes each word at the exact spot your eye is already watching, so you stop re-reading lines and start absorbing them. Set your pace, choose how many words flash per beat, and watch your ceiling move.
You just sped-read that.

Your library
Bring your own books.
Drop in a PDF, EPUB, DOCX, RTF, or TXT and Glowread rebuilds it two ways: as clean, speed-readable text or as a full AI audiobook in the voice you pick. Course readings, contracts, the 400-page classic you keep renewing from the library: readable at your speed, or listenable on your run.
Tiers: Free · Premium $9.99/mo with 1,000 narrated pages monthly · Pro $19.99/mo, unlimited. Pricing may change. The app always shows current prices.

Recall cards from what you read
Read it once. Keep it for good.
Finish a summary and Glowread turns its key ideas into recall cards, built automatically from what you just read. They resurface right when you'd start to forget, so the book you scrolled in March is still with you in May. No deck-building, no setup: read, flip, remember.

Speech practice: say what you learned
If you can say it, you know it.
The real test of a book isn't finishing it. It's explaining it out loud. Record yourself talking about what you read and Glowread listens: it checks your take against the book's key ideas and shows you what you covered and what slipped. Walk into the exam, the meeting, or the dinner-table debate already fluent.

Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Glowread is a mobile app for iOS and Android. Grab it from the App Store or Google Play with the buttons on this page. The download is free, and 2,000+ early readers are already scrolling.
Students working through course readings, professionals keeping up with their field, book lovers with growing to-be-read piles, and lifelong learners who want more from idle scrolling. If your goal is to learn faster, save time, stay focused, or read more often, Glowread was built around it.
The app is free to download, with a free tier for browsing the feed and using the speed reader. Paid tiers: Premium at $9.99/month with 1,000 pages of AI narration monthly, and Pro at $19.99/month with unlimited narration. Pricing may change. The app always shows the current price before you subscribe.
The feed is 1,000+ summaries with the core ideas of real books, built for scrolling. For full-length reading, upload your own files: bring any PDF, EPUB, DOCX, RTF, or TXT and Glowread turns the whole thing into speed-readable text or an AI audiobook.
RSVP flashes one word at a fixed point. It removes the eye movements and line re-reading that slow most people down, and it's a genuinely well-studied technique. Comprehension at high speed is personal, though, so Glowread doesn't promise a magic multiplier: you set anything from 100 to 1,000 WPM, control words per flash, and recall cards help you keep what you read. Try the live demo on this page and judge with your own text.
It's studio-grade neural narration in 24 voices. Unlike a podcast app, every word is time-synced to the text on screen, so you can read along or drift between listening and reading. We'd rather you download it and judge with your own ears than oversell it here.
Yes. That's what recall cards are for. Glowread automatically turns the key ideas of what you read into flashcards and resurfaces them on a schedule, so ideas move from 'I read that somewhere' into memory you can actually use. Streaks keep the habit alive; the cards keep the content alive.
A way to prove a book actually stuck: record yourself explaining what you read, and Glowread analyzes your take. It shows which key ideas you covered, which you missed, and guided questions to fill the gaps. Reading gets it in; saying it out loud keeps it there.
Yes. Narrated books can be downloaded to your device for offline listening. It is built for subway commutes, flights, and anywhere your signal dies mid-chapter.
