About SpeedRead
Read 3x faster with science-backed speed reading
SpeedRead uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) to display one word at a time at your chosen speed. Each word is positioned so its Optimal Recognition Point—the letter your eye naturally focuses on—is always centered and highlighted in orange. This eliminates eye movement and dramatically increases reading speed.
