Speed Reader flashes text one word at a time at a fixed point on screen, the RSVP technique that trades eye movement for pure intake, and one of its display modes tucks that word stream right into the MacBook’s screen notch. An area-capture tool can OCR any patch of screen, a PDF that won’t let you select text, a screenshot, and feed it straight into the reader. Lifetime license is $8.99, with a 3-day trial that skips the payment form.
