## What is Blinkword Speed Reading?

Read faster. Understand more. Build a habit.

Blinkword is a speed reading app built on RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) — a scientifically-backed technique that displays words one at a time in a fixed position, eliminating eye movement and helping you read 2-3x faster with full comprehension.

HOW IT WORKS
Words flash on screen at your chosen pace. Blinkword highlights the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) — the anchor letter your eye naturally focuses on — so your brain processes each word instantly. Dynamic timing automatically adjusts for long words, punctuation, and paragraph breaks, giving you a natural reading rhythm even at high speeds.
