Planned
Waypoint
Break through hard books and finish them.
Waypoint turns scanned pages or pasted text into RSVP and phrase-paced reading. Read in full-screen Focus, listen to on-device narration, save session notes, and reopen reading history at your saved position.
What the app does
Scan a printed page or paste text, set a comfortable pace, and return to the same saved session with your progress and notes in place.
- Scan pages with on-device text recognition, correct their corners, and retry or explicitly skip a page that could not be read.
- Keep unfinished scans and intake drafts for later, then start a session with its title and reading pace.
- Read one word at a time or in phrases, with a full-screen RSVP Focus mode and optional Apple narration.
- Reopen saved sessions at your previous position, add more pages, and retrieve notes saved with each session.
- Record yourself reading and keep or deliberately share the local audio file.

Waypoint in context
Turn a page into a reading session
Start with your camera or pasted text. Review captured pages, adjust a crop, and keep the original photo available for another recognition attempt. Unfinished drafts and batches can be reopened after leaving the app.
The progressive intake flow locks in the text, title, and pace before opening the Session tab. Additional scan batches extend the same saved session while retaining its reading position and notes.
Stay with the passage
Choose one-word RSVP or phrase pacing, then adjust the visual reading speed to suit the material. RSVP Focus removes surrounding interface while reading; playback controls return when you interact or pause.
Optional narration uses Apple’s on-device voices. Session notes stay with the saved reading, and local recordings let you listen back or share a file when you choose.
Free reading and optional premium typography
The core reading, scanning, session history, Focus, notes, and recording features remain available without a subscription. Premium access unlocks additional reader fonts through Apple’s App Store.
The intended US launch offer is US$9.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial only when that introductory offer is configured and you are eligible. Availability, local currency, taxes, final pricing, and trial eligibility are determined by the App Store and shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled.
Waypoint remains a planned public release. The website does not confirm App Store availability or guarantee an introductory offer; the installed app shows the current Apple purchase terms when an offer is available.
