A speed reader, for reading without moving your eyes. SPEED READER Open it from the reader's menu. One word at a time comes to the middle of the screen, stays for its moment, and gives way to the next — so the eyes never travel and the text comes to them. Or two or three words at a time, which is still one glance. Set the pace with a slider, in words a minute, and the size with another; both can be moved while the words run. Read a single verse, a range of verses or the whole chapter, and have it come round again until you stop it. No verse numbers, no marks — only the words, as the King James has them. Two switches to try against the same verse. "Longer words stay longer" holds a word in proportion to its length and pauses at the end of a sentence, where the plain pace gives every word the same moment. "Skip hidden words" leaves out the words on your hidden list, so the exercise of supplying them from memory runs at speed. Your pace, size, range and switches are kept, and the range with the chapter you chose it in. Still no account, no network and nothing collected.

About
Pure Bible Focus is for learning a passage by heart. It shows you the King James text with some of it taken away, and gives it back the moment you ask. HIDE THE WORDS YOU KNOW Choose the words to take out of the page — any word the King James uses, or a wildcard like lamb* that covers lamb, lambs and every other form at once. What is hidden leaves a blank where it stood, so the shape of the verse is still there to think against. One switch on the bar puts every word back, and another puts them away again, without losing the list you built. TAKE A WORD DOWN TO A CLUE Three ways, and you choose which the switch applies: • Ends — In t-e b-------g G-d • Consonants — -n th- b-g-nn-ng G-d • Vowels — I- --e -e-i--i-- -o- Every dash stands for exactly one letter, so the line keeps its length and a word you half-remember is still the right shape on the page. READ IT BACKWARDS Reverse the words of every verse and the sentence you have been reciting from memory stops carrying you along. The punctuation stays where the text put it; only the words move. PRESS A VERSE TO SEE IT WHOLE Hold any verse and it comes back in full — nothing hidden, nothing masked, in its own order. Hold it again and it goes back under the lens. Several verses can stand open at once, and turning the page forgets them, because it is a glance rather than a setting. GIVE A WORD WEIGHT Mark the words a passage turns on and they stand out in size and colour wherever they appear. Nothing is reordered and nothing is added — emphasis changes how a word looks and never what the verse says. THE WHOLE KING JAMES, IN YOUR HAND The 1769 King James is inside the app: 66 books, 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses. Swipe left and right to turn the page and the text follows your finger, from Genesis straight through to Revelation. Tap any word for Noah Webster's 1828 — the edition that defines the English the King James is written in — and for where that word falls in the verse, the chapter, the book and the whole Bible, with its letters, vowels and consonants counted. KEEP THE VERSES YOU ARE WORKING ON Bookmark a verse from the word sheet or by holding it, file it in folders of your own, and come back to it by name. NOTHING ELSE No account. No network. No advertising, no analytics, nothing collected. The whole Bible is inside the app, so it works with the phone in airplane mode, and it is free. CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE Pure Bible Focus is built on the data model of King James Pure Bible Search written by Donna Whisnant at purebiblesearch.com, and follows it deliberately, down to the text and the way it is printed.
