Adaptive Reading with Dynamically Updated Segments
BookByte changes the way you read by adapting text segments to match your growing reading abilities. The Dynamic Segment algorithm ensures a tailored reading experience that grows with you.
The Dynamic Segment Adapter algorithm is designed to dynamically adjust the size of text segments based on a user's reading statistics. This feature means that as your reading speed increases or as you become more consistent with your habit, the size of the content chunks you receive will automatically increase, allowing for easy reading progression.
BookByte offers a collection of reading statistics to keep you motivated. Track your reading speed to see how quickly you are able to read through the content, view your fastest and slowest reading times to understand your performance, monitor your longest reading streaks to maintain motivation, and review the total number of segments you’ve completed to get your overall progress. These metrics can be a tool to help you improve your reading.
