Questions & Answers

Who is FocusWord for?

Anyone who struggles to focus while reading on their phone. It's especially helpful for people with ADHD, students with heavy reading lists, or anyone who keeps abandoning books halfway through.

How is this different from a regular ebook reader?

Traditional readers show full pages of text, which lets your eyes wander and your mind drift. FocusWord shows one word at a time, keeping you locked into the content. You can't scroll ahead or get distracted by how much is left.

What is RSVP?

Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Instead of moving your eyes across lines of text, words come to you one at a time at a fixed point. It eliminates the eye movement that causes fatigue and distraction.

What's the red letter for?

It marks the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) — the spot in each word where your brain recognizes it most efficiently. Centering words on this point reduces cognitive load and makes reading feel effortless.

What file formats are supported?

EPUB files. That's the standard format for ebooks. You can export EPUBs from most ebook stores or convert other formats using free tools like Calibre.

Is my data private?

Completely. All your books and reading progress stay on your device. We don't have servers, don't collect data, and don't track you. No account needed.

Does it work on both iOS and Android?

Yes. FocusWord is available on both platforms with the same features and experience.
