2.0
2023年03月23日
Welcome to the biggest update to Outread ever. If you find any new bugs or inconsistencies please let us know at contact@outreadapp.com Hope you enjoy it!
UPDATED DESIGN AND FONTS
We went through the whole app and updated the design to better match your needs and make the app easier and faster to use. We also updated the font selection with new fonts that work better with speed reading. Specifically: Noto Sand and Garamond were scientifically tested as leading to better speed while still maintaining the comprehension.
CONTINUOUS SCROLLING IN HIGHLIGHTING READING
We heard your feedback and added a new mode to Highlighting Reading that will continuously keep the highlighted text centered vertically on the screen. Try it by enabling in Reader Preferences > Highlighting Preferences > Continuous Scrolling.
NEW MARKER OPTIONS IN HIGHLIGHTING
Next to text dimming, we added Marker and Underline options (find them in Reader Preferences > Highlighting Reading). Long-time Outread users will remember the Marker option from the past, the new one however works better than ever and is also nicely animated.
ANIMATED HIGHLIGHTER MOVES
We added slight animations when the highlighter moves. That should make the reading more pleasant and easier on the eyes. It’s disabled when you update from an older version, but you can enable it in Reader Preferences > Highlighting Reading > Smooth Chunk Changes.
SPEED AND MOVE CONTROLS
Instead of going to preferences, you can quickly adjust speed and rewind/fast forward reading without stopping. There are also keyboard shortcuts (W, A, S, D).
READING SPEED TEST
New update lets you quickly check your reading speed and comprehension by reading a text and answering a few questions about it.
LIVE PREVIEW IN READER PREFERENCES
When you change your speed reading preferences, such as speed or chunk length, you’ll immediately see how they work in little previews on top of Reader Preferences screen.
QUICK ACTIONS ON READER SCREEN
The ellipsis button in the top-right corner will now let you quickly archive, delete, favorite and share the item you’re currently reading.
IMPROVED TEXT DETECTION ON WEBSITES
We updated the algorithm that detects the content on websites – it should produce cleaner results in most cases.
MANUAL WEBSITE IMPORT FALLBACK
If the app can’t automatically detect the text on a website, it now offers a quick way for you to manually pick the text from Safari.
AUTOMATIC TAGGING
When you add items, Outread will now add more types of tags, such as Web, Scan, and more.
MANUAL TAGGING
Organize your library quickly and effortlessly by adding tags.
RETHOUGHT LIBRARY SCREEN
Instead of showing both unread and read items on a single list, we moved the archive to a separate place. You can now quickly show only Unread, Archived, Favorited or In Progress items. We also added the search feature.
ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Outread comes with improved readability, most of the screens now support Dynamic Type (variable font sizes).
APP SHORTCUTS
Outread 2.0 comes with updated support for Shortcuts, now based on the new App Intents framework. You can easily add and access content in an automated way.
FOCUS FILTERS
You can now set up Outread’s library content to fit your current focus filter, e.g. show only unread items tagged **Work** when you’re in your Work focus.
