LexiPulse: PDF & eBook

LexiPulse is three ways of reading the same document — and a toolkit for everything else you do with a PDF. None of it leaves your device.

THREE VIEWS, ONE READING POSITION
• Original: the page as it was laid out, with figures, tables and forms
• Page: the same document as flowing text, in the typeface you choose
• Word stream: one word at a time in a fixed spot, when you need to get through it
Switch whenever you like and never lose your place.

THE PDF AS A PDF
• Zoom, fit width, fit page, rotate, dark rendering
• Thumbnails, the document's own outline, links
• Full-text search with a hit list and a jump to the match
• Open protected files with a password; the password is never stored

ANNOTATE AND COMMENT
• Highlight, underline and strike along the line, not as a box you drag
• Draw freehand, any width and colour; rectangle, ellipse, line and arrow
• Text boxes anywhere, at any size
• Sticky notes that other PDF apps show as well

FILL IN AND SIGN
• Form fields: text, checkboxes, dropdowns, multiple choice
• Close a half-filled form and carry on tomorrow
• Flatten the answers so nobody can change them
• Draw, type or photograph your signature; white paper turns transparent

PAGES AND FILES
• Rotate, delete and reorder pages
• Insert a blank page, another PDF or an image — which is also how you merge
• Pull selected pages out as a file of their own
• Several photos become one PDF: photograph it, sign it, send it back
• Redaction that really removes the text instead of covering it
• Save as a new file or replace the original

PAGE MODE
• The whole document as flowing text, not just one chapter
• Four typefaces including OpenDyslexic; size, spacing, margins and justification
• Turn pages with a page number or scroll, plus auto-scroll

WORD STREAM
• 100 to 1200 words per minute, continuously adjustable
• Every word sits on its Optimal Recognition Point, marked in colour
• Long words and punctuation get more time, paragraph endings twice as much
• A warm-up ramp after every start, read-aloud in step

READING AIDS
• Bionic emphasis: word openings in bold, strength adjustable
• A reading ruler that follows the line you are on
• Six colour filters for readers with visual stress
• OpenDyslexic ships with the app, nothing is downloaded

SEARCH AND HIGHLIGHTS IN TEXT
• Full-text search, accent-tolerant: "fur" finds "für"
• Highlights in five colours with notes, as a list and as Markdown

IMPORT
• PDF, including scans with no text layer
• EPUB (2 and 3) and FictionBook with chapters and cover
• Text, Markdown, HTML, the clipboard and web articles by URL
• A smart filter removes running heads, footers, page numbers and table rows

LIBRARY
• Search, sort, filter and tag
• Reading progress, bookmarks, statistics with a streak and a daily goal
• Back up and move to another device, no account and no server
• Export all your own data as JSON (GDPR Art. 20)

PRIVACY
No account, no tracking, no ads. Your documents are processed and stored on your device only — including while you edit, fill in and sign them. The one feature that contacts a server is importing a web article by URL.

PRICE
4.99 euros once. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. There is also a free web version at lexipulse.de.

WHAT LEXIPULSE DOES NOT DO
No conversion to Word and no server-side compression — both would mean uploading your file. The drawn signature is a picture of your signature, like a printout you signed and scanned; it is not a qualified electronic signature under eIDAS. A scanned PDF can be viewed and edited, but not searched.

PLEASE NOTE
LexiPulse is a tool for displaying text, not a medical device. Start the word stream at 250 to 300 words per minute.
