Add and handle files, browse between sheets and set alarms

It's wrapped in an accessible and intuitive layout that displays the current book in a two-page mode, which can be later be changed from the menu, along with a feature-rich menu. The supported formats are TXT, RTF and HTML. At the start, a default book is loaded, which can be used as an example to test all the offered options. In addition to the open function, it's possible to paste content from the clipboard directly into the panel. Make sure the copied text is complete, as the app inserts only what's stored.
If you're reading a book with multiple sheets, the utility lets you activate the automatic page turner that uses the up and down arrows to delay speed. At the bottom of the window, you can view different small bars that help you navigate through the book. Keyboard buttons can be used and set for quick management. An alarm can be scheduled at a specific hour, to signal you how much time has passed since you began studying.

Manage books and edit content to best suit your reading mode

In the library manager, all the default records are available for viewing and marking as read. In addition, you have the option to change the genre for each item, along with various details, such as title, author, date, size, series, and the full destination path. To each file, Machine Age Reader lets you add a note with thoughts or ideas, and view the table to contents.
If one of the documents has composition errors, you can use the clean text function, to remove misplaced punctuation and additional word spacing. Plus, it can detect and connect lines and paragraphs, trim extra space, or delete all the numbers and lines. It's possible to copy the selected sentence, capitalize or change to letters to uppercase, as well as mass replace terms with others, add and manage bookmarks.
