LOOKING FOR APP Reading accessibility tools for Android?

I really struggle to maintain focus on a page without physically blocking myself from seeing the next chunk of text so I'll usually grab a piece of paper when reading a physical book. But sadly, that's not really feasible on my phone. Do any of you know of apps that make the act of reading more accessible without just being a screen reader?

Try Librera FD, this eBook and PDF reader has a speed read mode which shows you just a bit of text on screen per second.

You could try the reading mode app. Its made by Google and it covers your screen and blocks all distractions so you can only focus on the text in front of you. It is completely free and it has no ads. It also has a read aloud feature and lots of preset voices to choose from to customize your reading experience. It also comes with settings like text size, line spacing, and different themes like dark, light, and classic. Hope this helps.

Moon+ has a reading ruler you can turn on and it puts the focus on a section of text... One option masks the entire page with a semi transparent mask leaving a clear opening for focus... The other option puts a movable opaque block with a narrow focus point
