Hey i have adhd too and have faced the same problem.
So I created an app just for this. You can try it at https://www.speakreader.com https://www.speakreader.com. Since you have adhd i suggest you go with at least 2x speed. I usually read at 3x speed just fine. At this speed your mind can't get distracted with other things. I read almost 1 book every week using this nowadays.
Fyi, the app is 100% free but you will need to enter your own Google wavenet api key for text to speech engine - since it billable over the first million chars by google so I can't give them away with the app.
- not_a_noogler 5y agoThis is awesome. Thanks a lot for taking time to create this. Since you are a software developer, has it affected your interview and interview preparation as well? e.g. doing a lot of leetcode etc.
- superasn 5y agoYou're welcome. Hope it helps you. > has it affected your interview and interview preparation as well? No I have my own software co for last 20 years and never had any jobs. Anyway, I made this app only for myself since I found it incredibly hard to concentrate on reading long articles and books. Before this I couldn't even complete a single book in 1 year. But now I've completed more than 20+ books using this in last year. I have a small stand on which I mount my phone and just let this run like a movie. I think not having the phone in my hand also helps with the reading a lot.
