Description
Hands-Free Scrolling
Read hands-free with eye-controlled scrolling, for a more accessible, immersive, and natural reading experience. Athena’s AI-powered technology allows you to read without manually scrolling the screen. Athena detects when, where, and how fast you are reading and automatically scrolls appropriately. You can share articles and news from your favorite apps or from Safari, directly to Athena. There are no user behaviors or gestures to learn, just read and Athena will do the rest. 

*Athena’s Eye-controlled scrolling only works with iPhone X or later

-Eye Control: Athena detects when, where and how fast you are reading and automatically scrolls the display for you. If you skip a few lines or read past a picture, Athena scrolls that much more. Stop reading, and Athena stops scrolling.

-Safari Extension: When you are viewing text-heavy content in Safari, Athena’s blue icon will be displayed on the screen. Simply tap the Athena icon and the page will be opened in Athena, enabling Eye-controlled scrolling.

-Share Extension: Share articles and content from other apps or browsers. When you see something that you’d like to read with Athena, simply tap the share icon and select Athena from the share menu.

-Accessibility: If you have trouble holding or controlling your phone, or your hands are occupied, eye-controlled scrolling may provide a more accessible and natural reading experience. For those that use Voice control, the app has been optimized for that.

-Reading mode: Athena’s reading mode strips out ads, popups, and other unnecessary content. Leaving you just the content that you're trying to read with less distraction and clutter.

Athena will continue to evolve and expand its functionality and capabilities. If you have questions, feedback, or requests, please email us at:  [email protected]

Practical

I just barely downloaded this and I already love it. When I found this, I was looking for some kind of auto-scrolling app that could connect to my Kindle app. That way, I'd be able to do other things with my hands while I'm reading. It's a shame that this app is currently only compatible with safari. I hope this changes in the future.

Great, but with a few notes

I think Athena works remarkably well given that the iPhone isn’t exactly made for eye tracking. I think it’s easy for the tracking to become inaccurate or unresponsive over time. A settings menu with options to calibrate tracking, manually adjust scroll speed, or to make cosmetic ui changes would be much appreciated. Also, I would prefer that the app tried to stay more faithful to the look of the original website; the default reader look is inoffensive, but websites loose their charm. I feel that it opens videos too easily as well. If it takes up a lot of space on the screen, it’ll keep opening the video, even when I’m looking nearby-ish. It would also be nice to be able to browse and search for websites within the Athena app itself. Other than that, very impressive!

Athena is a game changer!

I read a lot on the internet and scrolling with my thumb page after page was not only annoying but was giving me carpal tunnel. This allows me to relax and just read!
