Spead Read — RSVP for the Web

About

Read any article up to 3× faster without moving your eyes.

Spead Read uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) to flash words one at a time at your chosen speed, eliminating the time lost to eye movement and re-reading. ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) highlighting marks the exact character where your brain recognizes each word fastest, so your eye always lands in the right place.

HOW TO USE

Press ⌥S on Mac (or Alt+S on Windows/Linux) on any webpage to start reading. You can also right-click anywhere and choose "Speed Read this page" from the context menu. To read a specific passage, select the text first — Spead Read will read only your selection.
