Brisk’s browser
You find it. Brisk reads it.
Browse a site in Brisk as you would in Safari. On an article, tap Read, and Brisk reads the article alone: not the menus, the share buttons or the other headlines around it.
This is Brisk. Every word comes to the same spot, so your eyes stay still while you read. It slows a little for long words, commas and full stops, as you would. Tap to pause, and the whole page is there, with your place marked.
350words a minute

The page behind the word
Lost the thread? Tap.
Reading one word at a time usually means you can’t glance back. In Brisk the page waits right behind the word: tap, and it comes into focus with your place marked. Tap any word to read on from there.
Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busy-body, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and evil.
But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong, that it is akin to me…
Smart Pace
A pace that breathes.
Brisk lingers a little on long words, at commas and at full stops, and eases in each time you press play. Slide the ruler to set your pace, from 150 to 900 words a minute.
Faster isn’t always better: past about 400 to 500 words a minute, most people take in less. Brisk starts you at 350.
It lingers on unfamiliar words, at commas, and longer at full stops.
For long reads
Read, listen, carry on.
