Hey Product Hunt! I built SwiftsReader because I lived this problem. As a researcher with ADHD, I spent years developing coping strategies that worked well enough until advanced studies broke them completely. The volume of reading required for a PhD is brutal even for neurotypical minds. For me, it felt impossible. I'd sit down with a paper, read the same paragraph five times, and still retain little. The shame of that is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Then I discovered RSVP- Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. One word at a time, no eye movement, no drift. It literally changed how I engage with text. That experience became the foundation of SwiftsReader. But I knew RSVP alone wasn't enough - so I kept building: For ADHD readers - RSVP mode, focus timer, break reminders, reading streaks For dyslexic readers - dyslexia-friendly fonts, text spacing, reading ruler For international students - AI summaries translated into 13 languages For researchers - figures, tables and equations extracted from complex PDFs (Mathpix + Google Doc AI) For everyone - podcast-style HD audio reader, so you can listen while you read The core insight: the problem isn't the reader - it's the reading environment. SwiftsReader is completely free to try- no credit card, no waitlist. I'd love to hear from anyone who has struggled with reading-heavy work, and especially from those who've found their own workarounds. What strategies have worked for you? https://www.swiftsreader.com

A quick note on who this is for 👇

SwiftsReader is built for anyone who's stared at a 40-page journal article and felt their brain shut off halfway through page 3.

Students with dyslexia or ADHD. Researchers reading outside their first language. Anyone who's ever re-read the same paragraph five times and still couldn't tell you what it said.

It turns dense academic papers into audio, AI summaries (in 13 languages), and reading formats that actually work with how your brain processes text, not against it.

Would love to hear from anyone here who's dealt with this - what's been your biggest pain point getting through academic reading?
