EXCELLO READER / AN INTRODUCTION

It isn’t that you stopped
reading. The hours stopped.

— the case for reading by ear

I. WHAT IT DOES

For the moments you couldn’t read before.

You already have the books. Excello gives you back the hours you used to lose.

01 FORMATS

Any book you’ve got

Drop in EPUB, MOBI, FB2, PDF, TXT or Markdown. Your shelf is your library.

—— for any shelf you already own
02 PACE

Listen at your speed

Slow it down for a hard passage. Speed up the dull middle. Fall asleep — Excello stops with you.

—— for the dull middle, for the hard page
03 NARRATION

A voice that feels it

Whispers when she whispers. Builds where it should build. The kind of read you used to need an audiobook for.

—— for the line you read three times
04 CONTINUITY

Pick up on any device

Start on the train, finish on the couch. Your place across phone, tablet and Mac.

—— for couches, trains, kitchens
05 KEEPS

Keep what hits you

Bookmark the passage. Note what it meant. See your streak grow night after night.

—— for the underlines, for the streaks
06 NIGHT

Made for reading at night

Four themes built for tired eyes. Excello Light, Excello Dark, Solarized Light, Solarized Dark.

—— for the last hour before sleep

INTERLUDE

Anywhere you sit,
still a chapter.

III. A GLIMPSE

A library, a paragraph, a voice.

Pick a book. Find the paragraph. Choose the voice.

Book covers in a library grid — Frankenstein, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Alice in Wonderland
An open ebook with playback controls — play, pause, skip, speed, sleep timer and a progress bar
An open ebook with the current paragraph highlighted in purple

Your whole library, on the home screen.

II. WHEN YOU READ NOW

A day, read out loud.

07:14 On the train

Pages, not feeds.

13:02 In the kitchen

Onions, garlic, chapter twelve.

22:31 Before sleep

Last paragraph at half speed.

A read that finally feels
like the book.

A voice that knows the difference between a whisper and a shout, a pause and a heartbeat. So the story sounds the way you’d hear it in your head — for any book you already own.
